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 engine.

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.

DANGER:

High temperatures
may be generated under certain ab­normal conditions. Do not partially
of fully cover the front of this heater.

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 engine
when not in use.

⑤ Do not operate any unit with
a damaged cord or plug, or if
the engine has been dropped or
damaged in any manner. Contact
Dimplex Technical Service at
1-888-346-7539.

⑥ Do not use outdoors.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

⑦ Never locate unit where it may
fall into a bathtub or other water
container.

⑧ To disconnect the unit, turn
the controls off, then remove the
plug from the outlet or disconnect
power at the service panel.

⑨ Always use properly grounded,
fused and polarized outlets.

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. Do not use on soft surfac­es, like a bed, where openings may
become blocked.

⑫

All electrical heaters have hot
and arching or sparking parts inside.
Do not use in areas where gasoline,
paint, or ammable liquids are used
or stored or where the unit will be
exposed to ammable vapors.

⑬ Do not modify the engine.
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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

⑭

To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this appliance must be
grounded. Avoid the use of an ex­tension cord. Extension cords may
overheat and cause a risk of re.
Always plug heaters directly into a
wall outlet/receptacle. Never use
with an extension cord or relocat­able power tap (outlet/power strip).

⑮ Do not burn wood or other
materials in the engine.

⑯ Always use a certied electri­cian should new circuits or outlets
be required.

⑰ Disconnect the power supply
before performing any cleaning,
maintenance or relocation of the
unit.

⑱ When transporting or stor­ing the unit and cord, keep in a
dry place, free from excessive
vibration and store so as to avoid
damage.

⑲

The wall mount engine must
not be located directly below a
socket outlet.

⑳ The wall mount engine must
be positioned so that the plug is
accessible.

WARNING: Remote control
contains small batteries. Keep
away from children. If swallowed,
seek medical attention immedi­ately.

WARNING: Do not install bat­tery backwards, charge, put in re
or mix with used or other battery
types - may explode or leak caus­ing injury.

!

NOTE: Changes or modica-

tions not expressly approved by

Installation

The Optimyst Pro is supplied
in an assembled state and is
designed to be permanently in­stalled. The unit comes ready for
hardwire installation.

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: To reduce the

risk of re, do not store or use
gasoline or other ammable
vapors or liquids in the vicinity
of the heater.

!

NOTE: A 15 Amp, 120 Volt cir-

cuit is required. A dedicated circuit
is preferred but not essential in all
cases. A dedicated circuit will be
required if, after installation, the
circuit breaker trips or the 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.

WARNING: Failure to install

the replace as instructed
below may result in damage
to the equipment and or may
expose the user to the risk of

re, serious injury, illness or
death.

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: Ensure that the

On/Off switch is set to the Off
position (refer to Operation
section) and that the circuit
on which the replace is to be
installed has the power cut off
at the service panel until instal­lation is complete.

!

NOTE: Please read all instruc-

tions before installing.
