Site Selection and Preparation
This section provides instructions
for selecting a location and
preparing the site to install the
fireplace into your Dimplex mantel
surround.
1. select a suitable location that
is not susceptible to moisture
and is away from drapes,
furniture and high traffic.
2. For ease of electrical hook
up you may wish to locate
the fireplace near an existing
outlet (refer to noTE 1).
3. store the fireplace in a safe
dry and dust free location.
!
NOTE 1: A 15 Amp, 120
Volt circuit is required. A
dedicated circuit is preferred
but not essential in all cases.
A dedicated circuit will be
required if, after installation,
the circuit breaker trips or
fuse blows on a regular basis
when the heater is operating.
Additional appliances on the
same circuit may exceed the
current rating of the circuit
breaker .
CAUTION: Clearance for
air circulation beneath the
fireplace insert is provided by
six (6) rubber feet. Do not
install the fireplace insert
directly on carpet or similar
surfaces which may restrict
air circulation. If installing
the fireplace in a carpeted
area, place a one-piece, solid,
flat surface under the fireplace
insert. Ensure that all six of
the insert’s feet rest securely
on this surface .
WARNINg: Ensure the
power cord is not installed so
that it is pinched or against a
sharp edge and ensure that
the power cord is stored or
secured to avoid tripping or
snagging to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock or injury to
persons.
Construction and electrical
outlet wiring must comply
with local building codes and
other applicable regulations to
reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and injury to persons.
Do not attempt to wire your
own new outlets or circuits. To
reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock or injury to persons,
always use a licensed
electrician.
