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:

① Read all instructions before

using the Convex In-Stud

replace.

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 three (3) feet (0.9 m) from
the front of the unit.

③ Extreme caution is necessary

when any heater is used by or near
children and whenever the unit is
left operating and unattended.

④ Always disconnect power to

the replace when not in use for

extended period of time.

⑤ Do not operate with a

damaged cord or plug (for units
supplied with a cord), or if the
heater has malfunctioned, or if

the replace has been dropped or

damaged in any manner. Contact
Dimplex Customer Services at
1-888-346-7539 immediately.

⑥ Do not use outdoors.
⑦ Never locate heater where it

may fall into a bathtub or other
water container.

⑧ 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 trafc

area and where it will not be
tripped over.

⑨ 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.

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.

⑫ All electrical heaters have

hot and arcing 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.
