Dimplex Stockbridge Stove
Model: SKG20BL
Important Safety Advice:
When using electrical appliances, Basic precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock, and injury to persons, including the
following:
If the appliance is damaged, check with the supplier
before installation and operation.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not use in the immediate surroundings of a bath,
shower or swimming pool.
Do not locate the heater immediately below a fixed
socket outlet or connection box.
Do not cover the heater. Do not place material or
garments on the heater, or obstruct the air circulation
around the heater, for instance by curtains or furniture,
as this could cause overheating and a fire risk.
This appliance is not intended for use by children or
other persons without assistance or supervision if
their physical, sensory or mental capabilities prevent
them from using it safely. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
Do not use this heater in series with a thermal control,
a program controller, a timer or any other device that
switches on the heat automatically, since a fire risk
exists when the heater is accidentally covered or
displaced.
Ensure that furniture, curtains or other combustible
material are positioned no closer than 1 metre from
the heater.
In the event of a fault unplug the heater.
Unplug the heater when not required for long periods.
Although this heater complies with safety standards,
we do not recommend its use on deep pile carpets or
on long hair type of rugs.
The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is
accessible.
If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by
the manufacturer or service agent or a similarly
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Keep the supply cord away from the front of the heater.
Introduction
These fires incorporate 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. The flame effect is provided
by a low wattage motor and two 60 watt lamps. Using the
flame effect on its own, therefore, requires little electricity.
The manual controls are located behind the firebox doors.
The remote control is packed separately in the carton.A choice
of 1kw or 2kw heat output is provided by the fan heater, which
is concealed beneath the unit.
These models are designed to be free standing and are
normally positioned against a wall.
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.
