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
this appliance.
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.
③ Extreme caution is necessary
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.
⑤ Do not operate any heater after it
malfunctions. Disconnect power at
the service panel and have the unit
inspected by a reputable electrician
before reusing.
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 dam-
aged in any manner, contact Dimplex
Technical Service at 1-888-346-7539.
⑦ Do not use outdoors.
⑧ Do not run the cord under carpet-
ing. Do not cover cord with throw
rugs, runners or the like. Arrange
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
cord away from trafc area and where
it will not be tripped over.
⑨ To disconnect the unit, turn the
controls off, then remove the plug
from the outlet.
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.
⑫ All electrical heaters have hot and
arcing or sparking parts inside. Do
not use in areas where gasoline,
paint, or ammable liquids are used
or stored.
⑬ Do not modify the replace. Use it
only as described in this manual. Any
other use not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause re, electric
shock or injury to persons.
⑭To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this appliance has a polar-
ized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will t in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does
not t fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not t, contact
a qualied electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not change the plug
in any way.

Mantel Installation
Install the replace into the
mantel (refer to mantel assembly
instructions).
!IMPORTANT: Install the man-
tel so that it is a minimum of ¼ in.
(6 mm) off of the wall to ensure
adequate air ow.

Dimplex mantel, the replace
must be installed in an enclosure
with the following minimum inter-
nal/opening dimensions - Figure

Custom Mantel Construction
1. Frame an opening of, see
dimensions in Figure 1:
!NOTE: On elevated instal-
lations, the bottom edge and ½
in. (13 mm) up either side will
be easily visible after installa-
tion (Figure 2). This area should
be nished in a manner that is
visually appealing and does not
restrict air ow to the unit.
Option #1 - The power cord can
be lead from behind the trim
and along the wall to an outlet
near the replace.
Option #2 - A new outlet can be
installed inside the new frame
construction. Plug the unit into
a 15 Amp/120 Volt outlet.
!NOTE: A 15 Amp, 120 Volt
circuit is required. A dedicated
circuit is preferred but not es-
sential in all cases. A dedi-
cated circuit will be required
if, after installation, the circuit
breaker trips or fuse blows
on a regular basis when the
heater is operating. Additional
appliances on the same circuit
may exceed the current rating
of the circuit breaker.
Bathroom Installation
This rebox must be protected by
a GFI receptacle or circuit. If a
receptacle is used it must be readily
accessible.
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 re-
place where it may fall into a bathtub
or other water containers.

Operation
General Operation
WARNING: This electric rebox
must be properly installed before it is
used.
This rebox operates with
Comfort$aver
TM
technology, which au-
tomatically adjusts the fan speed and
heater wattage to safely and precisely
match the requirements of the room
based on the thermostat setting. The
heater operates such that once the
room reaches the set point, the fan
and heater will continuously run at a
low level, to maintain the desired room
temperature. If the temperature in the
room rises signicantly, i.e. sun coming
through a window or a central furnace
turns on, the heater and fan will turn
off and periodically turn back on to cir-
culate the air around the unit, until the
room temperature drops and requires
the heater to be constantly on again.
!
NOTE: The unit is designed so that
the fan will run continuously while the
heater is on.
!
NOTE: The element retains heat
after shutdown, there is a built in cool
down period of 1 minute before the
fan shuts off completely.
gWaveTM Controls
The replace can be operated by a
simple "wave" in-front of the unit. By
waving your hand vertically approxi-
mately 4 in. (102 mm) in-front of the
gWaveTM sensor in the upper right hand
corner of the unit, the unit and different
control functions can be activated. This
is also indicated by the LED light turn-
ing green.
There is a Gesture On/Off button
located below the LED pilot light
which can be used to turn this feature
On or Off. It is recommended that
a straightened paperclip be used to
press the button through the small
hole. When the gWaveTM controls are
turned off, the green light will ash
4 times before turning off and it will
remain solid green when the gWaveTM
controls are active.
!
NOTE: The unit is programmed to
have a built in demonstration mode to
exhibit all of the functions of the unit in
a 95 second period of time. This can be
activated by holding your hand infront
of the gWaveTM sensor for 7 seconds.
When the unit has gone through the
demonstration mode once it will return
to the previous operation.
Remote Operation
The replace is supplied with an IR
multifunction remote control.
!NOTE: To operate correctly,
the remote control must be pointed
towards the front of the unit.
