1. WARNINGS AND WARRANTY
CONDITIONS
1.1. SAFETY WARNINGS
• Please read these instructions carefully before
installing or using this appliance. Failure to do so
may result in damage to persons and property.
• Installation of this appliance must be carried out
by a suitably qualified competent person in
accordance with all Building Regulations,
including those referring to Local Authority ByeLaws, National and European Standards and
Codes of Practice.
• Dimplex is not civilly or criminally liable for
damages to persons and property arising from
incorrect installation or poor maintenance (not
compliant with the provisions of this manual).
• This apparatus should not be used by people
(including children) with limited physical,
sensorial or mental abilities or with little
experience and know-how unless they have been
instructed on the use of the apparatus by the
person responsible for its safety.
• For correct use of the fireplace stove and
accessories, and to prevent accidents, always
follow the instructions in this booklet.
• The fireplace stove must be used only for its
intended purpose. Any other use is considered
improper and therefore hazardous.
• The user is fully liable for improper product use,
releasing Dimplex from any liability.
• Any tampering with the fireplace stove, or use of
non-original spare parts, may be hazardous to
the user and releases Dimplex from any liability.
• This appliance operates at very high
temperatures and surfaces become hot during
use and for a period after use. Avoid direct
contact with the stove unless wearing suitable
protective clothing (e.g. glove provided). All
persons including children and the infirm should
be warned of this and not allowed to touch any
surfaces while in use. Please use a suitable
fireguard to prevent contact when in use.
1.2. OPERATING WARNINGS
• Do not use this appliance in the event of faults or
poor stove operation. If the stove is over-firing or
if there are problems with chimney draught, turn
off the air supply to this stove and consult a
suitably qualified technician (HETAS Engineer or
Chimney Sweep).
• Once installed, never place flammable materials
closer than 150 cm to the fireplace stove.
• Avoid installation in rooms with B type gas
devices, hoods with or without exhaust, heat
pumps or collective ventilation conduits.
• Do not fit an extractor fan in the same room as
this appliance.
• Do not install this appliance on a shared flue.
• Do not install several flue pipes in one room, and
avoid having a stairwell in the vicinity. Check that
in adjacent connected room there are not any
units whose simultaneous use would create
negative pressure in one of the two rooms.
• Install the stove in a location which is suitable for
fire lighting, and equipped with all services such
as air supply, smoke discharge and electricity
supply (if forced ventilation kit is used).
• Ensure that there is adequate ventilation in the
room in accordance with Building Standards. Do
not obstruct any of the air inlets or outlets on the
appliance.
• The stove should sit on a non-combustible
surface that conforms to Building Regulations.
Allow a hearth of 300mm to the front at floor
level in case of spills when re-fuelling or deashing.
• This appliance is suitable for wood burning
only. Do not burn petroleum coke or other solid
fuels (including coal, ancit, briquettes, etc),
household waste or plastic in this appliance.
• Do not use flammable liquids in this product.
• Burn only wood with low moisture content -
burning softwood, wet or unseasoned timber will
only result in a build-up of tar in the stove and
the chimney and will cause staining of the glass.
INFORMATION:
• For any problem, please contact your dealer or
qualified and authorised personnel and always
request original spare parts for repairs.
• Check and clean the flue prior to installation and
have flue cleaned yearly thereafter.
• If there is a fire in the flue pipe, keep the door of
the fireplace stove and the combustion air
register closed at all times. Request assistance
from the emergency services.
• Carefully conserve the instruction booklet. It
must remain with the fireplace stove for its entire
life cycle. If the stove is sold or transferred to
another user, make sure the manual
accompanies the product.
• If lost, please request a copy of this instruction
from your dealer.

2. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
These instructions give a guide for the installation of the stove but in
no way absolves the installer from responsibilities to conform to all
relevant standards relating to the installation of solid fuel appliances.
We recommend that for UK installations a HETAS registered installer
should be used, who will be able to give a Certificate of Compliance to
prove that installation complies with Building Regulations. In Ireland a
registered installer from the Irish National Fireplace Organization should
be used.
2.1. OPERATING AREA
For good operation and good heat distribution, your stove should be
installed in a room that is large enough for heat to circulate.
To allow
sufficient area for heat dissipation and prevent room overheating, the
room volume must not be less than 60 m

.
Please note:
• Fireplace stoves may not be installed in
bedrooms, bathrooms or where another heating
device is installed without autonomous air flow
(fireplace, stove, etc.).
• Placing the fireplace stove in explosive
environments is prohibited.
• In all instances the stove should be positioned on
a non-combustible hearth. The construction of the
hearth must conform to Building Regulations,
must be firm, non-combustible and capable of
supporting the stove.
• A protective hearth must provide an apron of
300mm to the front of the stove at floor level in
case of spills when refuelling or de-ashing.
• The walls surrounding the stove should be made
from non combustible materials where possible
and at all times minimum safe distances to
combustibles (100mm to sides and rear) must be
observed.
• A minimum air gap of at least 5mm should be
observed from any masonry, brick or other non
flammable type walls surrounding the stove.
2.2. PRECAUTIONS
The fireplace stove must be installed in a suitable location that permits
routine opening and maintenance operations. The room must be:
• suitable for stove operating conditions
