the heat outlet grille located above the flame window on the appliance
Overheating will result if the appliance is accidentally covered. Do not place
material or garments on the appliance, or obstruct the air circulation around
the appliance, for instance by curtains or furniture, as this could cause
overheating and a fire risk.
In the event of a fault unplug the heater. Unplug the appliance when not
required for long periods. The supply cord must be placed on the right hand
side of the heater away from the heat outlet underneath the appliance. This
appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,

not plug in, regulate or clean the appliance or perform any user maintenance.
Do not use this heater with a programmer, timer, separate remote- control
system or any other device that switches the heater on automatically, since a
fire risk exists if the heater is covered or positioned incorrectly. The
appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible. Although this
appliance complies with safety standards, we do not recommend its use on deep
pile carpets or on long hair type of rugs. If the supply cord is damaged it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or service agent or similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.

General
Unpack the heater carefully and retain the packaging for possible future use,
in the event of moving or returning the fire to your supplier.
The fire incorporates a flame effect, which can be used with or without
heating, so that the comforting effect may be enjoyed at any time of the year.
Using the flame effect on its own only requires little electricity.
Before connecting the heater check that the supply voltage is the same as that
stated on the heater. Please note: Used in an environment where background
noise is very low, it may be possible to hear a sound which is related to the
operation of the flame effect. This is normal and should not be a cause for
concern.
Electrical Connection
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
This heater must be used on an AC ~ supply only and the voltage marked on the heater must correspond to the supply voltage. Before switching on, please read the safety warnings and operating instructions.

Fitting- See Fig. 4
IMPORTANT : If not using a Dimplex mantel, the fireplace must be installed in an enclosure with the following MINIMUM dimensions(Figure 4).
- Select a suitable location that is not susceptible to moisture and is at least 1 meter away from drapes, furniture and high traffic.
- Store the fireplace in a safe, dry and dust free location.
- Clearance for air circulation beneath the fireplace is provided by two spacers. DO NOT INSTALL FIREPLACE DIRECTLY ON CARPET OR SIMILAR SURFACES WHICH MAY RESTRICT AIR CIRCULATION. If installing the fireplace in a carpeted area, place a one-piece, solid flat surface under the fireplace. Ensure that all feet rest securely on this surface!
- In some jurisdictions this appliance is supplied without a plug this is to comply with the local regulations. In such instances this appliance must be installed by a suitably qualified installer and the means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the local wiring rules.
New Wall Construction
- Select a suitable location that is not susceptible to moisture and is away from drapes, furniture and high traffic.
- Place the fireplace in the desired location to see how it will look in the room.
- Mark the desired location on the floor.
- Use studs to frame an opening of 680 mm wide X 585 mm high X 229 mm deep.(DF2608) Use studs to frame an opening of 775 mm wide X 654mm high X 298 mm deep.(DF3020)
