Installation and Operating Instructions
Dimplex Horton Fires
Models : HTN20BR & HTN20BL
General
Unpack the heater carefully and retain the packaging for
possible future use, in the event of moving or returning the
fire to your supplier. Loose coals are packed separately within
the carton. When the heater is assembled the coals are
placed on top of the fuel bed.
The heater is designed for use inset into a 407mm (16") or
457mm (18") wide by 559mm (22") high fireplace opening
see also section “Installation in a fire place opening”.
A 2kw fan heater discreetly positioned in the canopy of the
fire provides heating in cold weather. Switching allows half
or full heat.
A minimum distance of 1 metre (39") must be maintained
between the front of the heater and any surrounding furniture,
overhanging curtains or other obstructions.
Before connecting the heater check that the supply voltage is
the same as that stated on the heater.
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.
Electrical
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
This heater must be used on an AC ~ supply only and the
voltage marked on the heater must correspond to the supply

for levelling the fire where the base of the fireplace opening
is raised above the level of the hearth.

position, then refit the bracket and the two screws in the
required position.
The surround at the rear of the fire may be removed if required.

Do not locate the heater immediately below a fixed
socket outlet or connection box.

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.
Caution: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent
resetting of the thermal cut-out, this appliance must
not be supplied through an external switching device,
such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly
switched on and off by the utility.

Controls
The heater controls are located on the right hand side
beneath the hinged canopy cover.
Raise the canopy cover to access the controls.
Three switches provide a choice of heat settings.
A switch is in the ON position when the red indicator mark on
the switch is visible.
Switch 1 - Controls the electricity supply to the heater
and the flame effect.
Note: This switch must be in the ON
position for the heater to operate.
Switch 2 - Provides 1kw heat output, with thermostat
control.
Switch 3 - Provides 2kw heat output with switch 2,
with thermostat control.
Setting the Thermostat
Plug in and set all switches to ON. Turn the thermostat knob
to MAX to warm the room rapidly. When the room temperature
has reached the desired level, turn the thermostat knob back
slowly until the thermostat just clicks off. The heater will then
maintain the room temperature at the chosen level.
NOTE – Should your heater fail to come on when the
thermostat is at a low setting, this may be due to the room
temperature being higher than the thermostat setting.
Maintenance

CLEANING, REMOVE PLUG OR DISCONNECT FROM THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
Lamp Replacement
There are two lamps located beneath the fuel effect. To gain
access to the lamps, the grate / fuel effect secured by two
screws must be removed - see Fig. 1.
Remove the coal and place in a container and carefully lift
the grate / fuel effect clear and set aside.
Replace the defective lamp with a 240V - 60W E14 SES clear
candle lamp.

Safety cut-out
For your safety, this appliance has been fitted with thermal
cut-out. In the event that the product overheats, the cut-out
switches the heat off automatically.
To bring the heat back into operation, remove the cause of
the overheating, then unplug or turn off the electrical supply
to the heater for up to 10 minutes.
When the heater has cooled sufficiently, re-connect and switch
on the heater.
