Model: OMWFC20 E / RTOPW20 E / PEM20 E
Thank you for choosing a Dimplex electric fire
General Information
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.
A fan heater can provide heating in cold weather. A distance of 1 metre (3 feet) must be maintained
between the front of the heater and any surrounding furniture, overhanging curtains or other obstructions.
Always ensure that the appliance is sitting on a level surface. Before connecting the appliance, check that
the supply voltage is the same as that stated on the appliance.
Only use filtered water in this appliance.
Once installed, never move this appliance or lay it on its back, without draining the water from sump and
water tank. The water tank, sump, sump lid, tank cap and air filters must be cleaned once every 2 weeks,
particularly in hard water areas. If you intend not using the appliance for longer than 2 weeks, drain the water
from sump and water tank and dry the sump.
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.
The sump and the water tank in this product are treated with a biocidal product, Silver Biocide in order to
control harmful or unwanted organisms. This conforms with the latest relevant ISO standard.
Do not drink the water from the sump or from the water tank(s).

Installation instructions
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.
Please retain this user’s guide for future reference.
Ensure that all packing items are removed (read any warning labels carefully).
Retain all packing for possible future use e.g. in the event of moving or returning the appliance to your
supplier.
Installing the Appliance;
1. Clean the area where the fire will be installed e.g. remove ash residue from an existing fireplace.
2. Remove wall bracket from the back of the appliance, by removing the 2 screws that the wall bracket is
fixed with. From the base of the fire chassis, a minimum distance from the floor of 300mm - 600mm,
from the side wall of 625mm and 150mm minimum form the top of the product to any shelf above it.
3. Fix the wall bracket to the wall making sure it is level, using the wall plugs and screws supplied for
block walls.
4. Hang the appliance off the fixed wall bracket. Rotate the safety fixing bracket on the base of the
product so that the fixing hole is exposed. Mark this hole and remove the appliance from the wall.
5. Fix plug to the wall in the marked position.
6. Hang the appliance back on the wall fixing bracket and fix the appliance in place using the screw
supplied through the safety fixing bracket.
7. Make sure the unit is switched OFF.
8. Plug the fire into a 13amp/240 volt outlet. Ensure that the supply cable is not trapped under the fire
such that it might cause it to be damaged.
Connecting the Transducer
1. Open the stove door
2. Gently lift out the fuel-bed and carefully set aside. (Fig 4)
3. Remove the water tank by lifting upwards and outwards. (Fig 5)
4. Remove the nozzle by un-clipping and lifting upwards and outwards. (Fig 6)
5. The transducer will be inside the sump. Remove from its bag.
6. Place the Transducer unit into the sump and make the connection.
7. Locate the tab on the Transducer unit into the moulded recess in the base of the sump (Fig 7A)
8. Ensure that the cable does not obstruct the Transducer disc. To prevent the cable becoming pinched
between the nozzle and the sump, place the cable in the slot in the wall of the sump. (Fig 7B)
Filling the Water Tank
1. Gently lift out the fuel-bed and carefully set aside.
2. Remove the water tank by lifting upwards and outwards.
3. Place the water tank in sink and remove cap, anti-clockwise to open. (Fig 8)
4. Fill tank with filtered tap water only. This is necessary to prolong the life of the flame and smoke
producing unit. The water should be filtered through a conventional domestic water filter unit and the
filter should be replaced regularly.
5. Screw the cap back on, do not over tighten.
6. Return the tank to the sump, with the tank cap facing down.
7. Gently place the fuel-bed back into position.

Adaptive Start
The built-in electronics in this appliance hava a learning function with regards to how long it takes to heat
up a room. Having learnt how quickly it can heat up your room, the appliance is able to turn on at just the
right time in order to get the room up to a comfortable temperature when you want it. For example, if you
get up at 7am, you would normally have to guess when to turn the heating on in order for it to pre-heat
the room in time. Depending on how cold it is outside, this could mean the room is still cold when you
have to get out of bed, or mean that its been warm for half an hour before it needed to be. Adaptive Start
means that if you select 21ºC at 7am, the heater will turn on exactly when it needs to in order to meet
this target, running for shorter periods of time when the weather is mild, and ensuring the room is nice
and warm in the winter.
The Adaptive Start function will automatically activate when you use the Timer Mode.
