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.
