QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE FOR THE DIMPLEX ELECTRIC
FIREPLACE

1. Prior to the first use of the fireplace verify the following:

• Are the circuit breakers for the socket the unit uses on?

• Are the light bulbs in your fireplace loose? (to check, follow the

instructions for replacing the light bulbs under the maintenance
section of this manual)

2. The heater on your fireplace may emit a slight, harmless odor when
first used. This odor is a normal condition caused by the initial
heating of internal heater parts and will not occur again.

on the rating plate. See Page 2 for location.

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 Stove.

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. Keep
combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3
feet (0.9m) from the front of the unit.

CAUTION: High Temperature, keep electrical cords, drapery, and other furnishings at least
3FT (.9m) from the front of the heater and away from the side and rear.

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 Stove when not in use.

5. Do not operate any unit with a damaged cord or plug, or if the heater has malfunctioned, or if the

Stove has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return heater to authorized service facility for
examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

6. Do not use outdoors.

7. The Stove is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor locations. Never
locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.

8. Do not run the cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or the like.
Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.

9. To disconnect the unit, turn the controls off, then remove the plug from the outlet.

10. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause
an electric shock or fire, or damage to the heater.

11. To prevent a possible fire, 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 flammable liquids are used or stored or where the unit will be exposed to
flammable vapors.

13. Do not modify the Stove. Use it only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended
by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury to persons.

14. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way. Avoid the use of an extension cord. Extension cords may overheat and
cause a risk of fire. If you must use an extension cord, the cord must be No. 16 AWG minimum size
and rated no less than 1875 watts.

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

16. Do not strike the clear door panel.
