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.
