IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
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 replace.
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 during heater operation.
Keep combustible materials, such
as furniture, pillows, bedding,
papers, clothes, and curtains at
least 3 ft (0.9 m) from the front of
the unit and keep them away from
the sides and rear.
③Extreme caution is neces-
sary when any heater is used by
or near children or invalids and
whenever the unit is left operating
and unattended.
④ Always unplug the fireplace
when not in use.
⑤Do not operate any heater
after it malfunctions. Disconnect
power at the service panel and
have the heater inspected by a
reputable electrician before reus-
ing.
⑥ Do not operate any unit with
a damaged cord or plug, or if the
heater has malfunctioned, or if
the electric replace has been
dropped or damaged in any man-
ner, contact Dimplex Technical
Service at 1-888-346-7539.

⑧The fireplace is not intended
for use in bathrooms, laundry ar-
eas and similar indoor locations.
Never locate heater where it may
fall into a bathtub or other water
container.
⑨ Do not run the cord under
carpeting (for units supplied with
a cord). Do not cover cord with
throw rugs, runners, or the like.
Arrange cord away from traf-
c area and where it will not be
tripped over.
⑩ To disconnect the unit, turn
the controls off, and then remove
the plug from the outlet.
⑪Do 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.

Fireplace Installation
This section provides easy step
by step instructions for selecting a
location and preparing the site to
install the replace into:
• Existingreplace
• New wall construction
• Dimplex mantel surround
kit or custom made mantel
surround
WARNING: Ensure the power
cord is not installed so that it is
pinched or against a sharp edge
and ensure that the power cord is
stored or secured to avoid tripping
or snagging to reduce the risk
of re, electric shock or injury to
persons.
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: 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 licensed electrician.
WARNING: To reduce the risk
of re, do not store or use gaso-
line or other ammable vapors or
liquids in the vicinity of the heater.
!NOTE: A 15amp, 120-volt cir-
cuit is required. A dedicated cir-
cuit is preferred but not essential
in all cases. A dedicated circuit
will be required if, after installa-
tion, the circuit breaker trips or
the fuse blows on a regular basis
when the heater is operating. Ad-
ditional appliances on the same
circuit may exceed the current
rating of the circuit breaker.
CAUTION: High temperature,
risk of re, keep electrical cords,
drapery, furnishings, and other
combustibles at least 3 ft (0.9 m)
from the front of the heater.
!NOTE: The replace insert is
to be installed in an opening with
minimum dimensions: 24 in. (610

and 11 ½ in. (292 mm) deep.
CAUTION: Clearance for air
circulation beneath the replace
insert is provided by four (4) rub-
ber feet (Figure 1). Do not install
the replace insert directly on
carpet or similar surfaces which
may restrict air circulation. If in-
stalling the replace in a carpeted
area, place a one-piece, solid, at
surface under the replace insert.
Ensure that all 4 of the insert’s
feet rest securely on this surface.
