Important Instructions
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:
Read all instructions before using the Convex In-Stud fireplace.
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 three (3) feet (0.9 m) from the front of the unit.
Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children and whenever the unit is left operating and unattended.
Always disconnect power to the fireplace when not in use for extended period of time.
Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug (for units supplied with a cord), or if the heater has malfunctioned, or if the fireplace has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact Dimplex Customer Services at 1-888-346-7539 immediately.
Never locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.
Do not run the cord under carpeting (for units supplied with a cord). 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.
To disconnect the unit, turn the controls off, and then remove the plug from the outlet or switch off at main power supply panel if the unit is hard wired.
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.
To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intake or exhaust in any manner.
All electrical heaters have hot and arcing 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.

Important Instructions
Do not modify the fireplace.
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.
This unit may have a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). The 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. 14 AWG minimum size and rated no less than 1875 Watts.
Do not burn wood or other materials in the fireplace.
Always use a certified electrician for build-in hard-wired installation.
Always use properly grounded, fused and polarized outlets.
Disconnect all main power supply (unplug the unit or switch off at main service panel) before performing any cleaning, maintenance or relocation of the unit.
21Do not operate the fireplace without the glass assembly and/or frame.
22When transporting or storing the unit and cord, keep in a dry place, free from excessive
vibration and store so as to avoid damage.
