Dimplex EWM-SS - Manual (Page 5)

NOTE
A 15amp, 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 the
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.
WARNING
Placing heavy objects on top of this fireplace may cause damage or injury. Maximum weight:
50 lbs/23 kg. Do not use fireplace as a seat or step.
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.
WARNING
Remove the protective film before use. Operation of the unit without complete removal of the
protective film may increase the risk of fire and/or product damage or discoloration.
WARNING
The supplied mounting bracket is designed for use with Dimplex wall mounted fireplaces only.
Improper use, or use for purposes other than intended, may cause damage or injury.

materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains.
3. Mount the unit on the wall only with the bottom above an electrical outlet or a minimum of
12” (mounting bracket 34 3/4”) above the floor. Access to the electrical outlet must be
maintained. Ensure the installation meets the national and state/provincial electrical
codes.
