Installation and Operating Instructions
Dimplex Michigan Fire
Model : MCN20
08/19118/1 Issue 1
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. Loose coals and pebbles are packed
separately within the carton.
The heater is designed for use inset into a 407mm (16") or
457mm (18") wide by 559mm (22") high fireplace opening
see also section “Installation in a fire place opening”.
A 2kw fan heater discreetly positioned in the canopy of the
fire provides heating in cold weather. Switching allows half
or full heat. The manual controls are located in the canopy
(see Fig. 1) and the remote control is packed separately in
the carton.
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 the motor
which operates the flame effect. This is normal and
should not be a cause for concern.
Electrical
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.
For your convenience, the heater is fitted with a rewireable
plug incorporating a 13 amp fuse. In the event of replacing
the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp fuse approved by
ASTA to BS1362 must be used.
Installation in a Fireplace Opening
At the rear of the fire, two adjustable supports are provided
for levelling the fire where the base of the fireplace opening is
raised above the level of the hearth.
Adjust by removing the two screws holding each bracket in
position, then refit the bracket and the two screws in the
required position.
The metal surround may be removed to allow the fire to be
fully inset.
Note: The fire must be positioned a minimum distance of
500mm from a wall as indicated in Fig. 1.
