When using electrical appliances,
basic precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, and injury to
persons, including the following:
① Read all instructions before
using the engine.
② The heater is hot when in use.
To avoid burns, do not let bare skin
touch hot surfaces. The trim around
the heater outlet becomes hot dur-
ing heater operation.
DANGER: High temperatures
may be generated under certain ab-
normal conditions. Do not partially
of fully cover the front of this heater.
③ Extreme caution is necessary
when any heater is used by or near
children or invalids and whenever
the unit is left operating and unat-
tended.
④ Always unplug the engine
when not in use.
⑤ Do not operate any unit with
a damaged cord or plug, or if
the engine has been dropped or
damaged in any manner. Contact
Dimplex Technical Service at
1-888-346-7539.
⑥ Do not use outdoors.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
⑦ Never locate unit where it may
fall into a bathtub or other water
container.
⑧ To disconnect the unit, turn
the controls off, then remove the
plug from the outlet or disconnect
power at the service panel.
⑨ Always use properly grounded,
fused and polarized outlets.
⑩ Do not insert or allow foreign
objects to enter any ventilation or
exhaust opening as this may cause
an electric shock or re, or damage
to the heater.
⑪ To prevent a possible re, do not
block air intake or exhaust in any
manner. Do not use on soft surfac-
es, like a bed, where openings may
become blocked.
⑫ All electrical heaters have hot
and arching or sparking parts inside.
Do not use in areas where gasoline,
paint, or ammable liquids are used
or stored or where the unit will be
exposed to ammable vapors.
⑬ Do not modify the engine.
Use it only as described in this
manual. Any other use not recom-
mended by the manufacturer may
cause re, electric shock or injury
to persons.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
⑭ To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this appliance must be
grounded. Avoid the use of an ex-
tension cord. Extension cords may
overheat and cause a risk of re.
Always plug heaters directly into a
wall outlet/receptacle. Never use
with an extension cord or relocat-
able power tap (outlet/power strip).
⑮ Do not burn wood or other
materials in the engine.
⑯ Always use a certied electri-
cian should new circuits or outlets
be required.
⑰ Disconnect the power supply
before performing any cleaning,
maintenance or relocation of the
unit.
⑱ When transporting or stor-
ing the unit and cord, keep in a
dry place, free from excessive
vibration and store so as to avoid
damage.
⑲ The wall mount engine must
not be located directly below a
socket outlet.
⑳ The wall mount engine must
be positioned so that the plug is
accessible.
WARNING: Remote control
contains small batteries. Keep
away from children. If swallowed,
seek medical attention immedi-
ately.
WARNING: Do not install bat-
tery backwards, charge, put in re
or mix with used or other battery
types - may explode or leak caus-
ing injury.
!NOTE: Changes or modica-
tions not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compli-
ance could void user's authority to
operate the equipment.

Installation
The Optimyst Pro is supplied
in an assembled state and is
designed to be permanently in-
stalled. The unit comes ready for
hardwire installation.
WARNING: Construction and
electrical outlet wiring must
comply with local building
codes and other applicable
regulations to reduce the risk
of re, electric shock and injury
to persons.
WARNING: To reduce the
risk of re, do not store or use
gasoline or other ammable
vapors or liquids in the vicinity
of the heater.
!NOTE: A 15 Amp, 120 Volt cir-
cuit is required. A dedicated circuit
is preferred but not essential in all
cases. A dedicated circuit will be
required if, after installation, the
circuit breaker trips or the fuse
blows on a regular basis when the
heater is operating. Additional ap-
pliances on the same circuit may
exceed the current rating of the
circuit breaker.
WARNING: Failure to install
the replace as instructed
below may result in damage
to the equipment and or may
expose the user to the risk of
re, serious injury, illness or
death.
WARNING: Do not attempt to
wire your own new outlets or
circuits. To reduce the risk of
re, electric shock or injury to
persons, always use a li-
censed electrician.
WARNING: Ensure that the
On/Off switch is set to the Off
position (refer to Operation
section) and that the circuit
on which the replace is to be
installed has the power cut off
at the service panel until instal-
lation is complete.
!NOTE: Please read all instruc-
tions before installing.
1. For rough in framing, the
opening should follow the
recommended dimensions
located in Figure 1.
!NOTE: Dimensions provided
are minimum clearances and will
vary depending on type of support
framing and nishing options.
!NOTE: It is recommended
that the bottom of the unit not be
mounted higher than 40 in. (1020
mm) from the ground to maintain
an optimized viewing angle of the
ame (Figure 2).

Installation
Figure 1
!NOTE: If installation in a cus-
tom mantel is desired, a power
cord accessory is available (BOF-
PLUGKIT) to plug the unit directly
into a wall outlet.
2. Allow up to 4 ft. (121.9 cm)
of service cable for connect-
ing a power supply wire to the
cable clamp on replace when
installing before nishing wall.
CAUTION: Use two conduc-
tor, non-metallic sheath cable
with ground wire (3 wires total)
for the incoming power supply on
replace inserts. Use appropriate
wire to meet local and national
electrical codes for rated power.
!NOTE: It is recommended that
all drywall installation and nish-
ing be completed after unit is fully
installed.
3. On the back of the unit remove
the cable clamp, by removing
the screw at the top (Figure 2).
4. Install a 3/8 in. (10 mm) or
1/2 in. (13 mm) cable connec-
tor, not included, suitable for
mounting in a 7/8 in. (22 mm)
hole, to the cable plate and

fully installed there is an access
Figure 3
panel in the water reservoir cavity
where the wiring can be accessed
from the front following installation
(Figure 3).
10. Install the unit into the roughed
in framing.
CAUTION: When inserting
the unit take care not to damage
or pinch any of the power cables
that are concealed in the wall.
WARNING: Ensure the power
wiring is not installed so that it
is pinched or against a sharp
edge and ensure that the pow-
er wiring is stored or secured
to avoid tripping or snagging to
reduce the risk of re, electric
shock or injury to persons.

are 3 different options for n-
ishing the wall:
CAUTION: Do not remove the
trim around the opening of the
unit (Figure 3).
• Permanent- install drywall
right up to the ange that sur-
rounds the opening (Figure 4).
!NOTE: An air inlet that is a
minimum of 14 in2 (88 cm2) is
required for optimum mist produc-
tion, for minimum dimensions
(Figure 4).
• SemiPermanent- nish
around edge using ashing
material (not included).
• Flexible- create opening big
enough to access mounting
anges and a false front that
can be removed.
Bathroom Installation
This rebox must be protected
by a GFI circuit. If a receptacle
is used it must be readily acces-
sible.
To prevent electrical shock this
unit is an electrical appliance
that is not watertight and must be
installed as to prevent water from
entering the unit. This unit must
be installed away from showers,
tubs, etc. Never locate replace
where it may fall into a bathtub or
other water containers. Keep tow-
els and other combustible materi-
als 3 feet (0.9 m) away from the
