Installation

The CDFI1000-PRO and

CDFI500-PRO are supplied in an

assembled state and are designed

to be permanently installed. The

units come ready for hardwire

installation and the use of the

water rell containers.

WARNING: Construction and

electrical outlet wiring must

comply with local building codes

and other applicable regulations

to reduce the risk of re, electric

shock and injury to persons.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of

re, do not store or use gasoline

or other ammable vapours or

liquids in the vicinity of the unit.

!NOTE: 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 the fuse

blows on a regular basis when the

cassette is operating. Additional

!NOTE: When preparing the

opening for the unit ¼ in. (6.4

mm) of clearance should be

maintained from each surface

to ensure easy installation.

!NOTE: Optimal installation height is

60" (152.4 cm) to the bottom of the media

plate or log set. Installing the product

above this height may reduce the ame

visibility.

appliances on the same circuit may

exceed the current rating of the

circuit breaker.

WARNING: Failure to install the

cassette as instructed below

may result in damage to the

equipment and or may expose

the user to the risk of re,

serious injury, illness or death.

WARNING: Do not attempt to

wire your own new outlets or

circuits. To reduce the risk of

re, electric shock or injury to

persons, always use a licensed

electrician.

WARNING: Ensure that the

On/O󰀨 switch is set to the OFF

position (refer to Operation

section) and that the circuit on

which the unit is to be installed

has the power cut o󰀨 at the

service panel until installation is

complete.

!NOTE: Please read all

instructions before installing.

Cassette Plumbing

The units come equipped with

rell containers for manual lling

of the reservoir. The unit can be

hard plumbed with the plumbing

accessory kit - CDFIPLUMB-KIT,

available from your local Dimplex

dealer, or with standard 1/4 in

(6.4mm) tubing, using the information

outlined below.

NOTE: The plumbing accessory kit

is designed for use with copper piping.

CAUTION: Ensure that all

plumbing connections meet local

plumbing code requirements.

CAUTION: Ensure that the

location of the plumbing connection

allows for easy access to allow

for shuto󰀨 during scheduled

maintenance.

1. Locate a cold water line in the

vicinity of the desired location

of the cassette.

!NOTE: Normal tap water can

be used in the Opti-myst® as long

as the tap water is not considered

to be hard water. In the event

your tap water is hard, softened or

ltered water is recommended.

2. Turn OFF the main water

supply and drain the line of any

standing water (if possible),

before proceeding to tie into

the water line.

!NOTE: Once the new plumbing

connections are complete ensure

that the lines are ushed to prevent

any debris from going into the unit.

3. On the cassette, remove the

top cover assemblies (Figure

10, page 18) and prime each of

the water reservoirs with 33.5

oz (1L) of water.

4. Replace the top cover

assemblies and ensure that the

two plumbing caps are securely

attached to the top cover of the

water reservoirs. (Figure 10,

page 18)

5. Locate the ball valve located

in the bottom center of the unit

(near the back). (Figure 1)

6. Attach one end of the ¼ in

(6.4 mm) tubing to the ball

valve. Insert the tubing into the

ball valve tting so that it is fully

inserted (approximately ½ in

(12 mm)).

!NOTE: Ensure that the end of

the tubing is cut square, to prevent

leaking.

7. Route the tubing to the area of

the water source.

8. Verify that all of the

connections are fully inserted,

and begin opening each of the

valves, ensuring that no leaks

are present.

Installation

Connecting Multiple Units

Together

When connecting multiple units

together, the plumbing should be

constructed in a manifold style

conguration, sized appropriately

for the number of units that are

being installed so a consistent

volume water and pressure is being

supplied to each unit.

New Construction

When determining a location for the

Opti-myst® cassette, ensure that the

unit will not be susceptible to drafts,

vents, ceiling fans and other air

currents. Similar to a candle, large

movements of air will a󰀨ect the

unit’s ability to create and maintain

the ame e󰀨ect.

Installation

If the desired location is susceptible

to signicant air movement, i.e.

air vents, the di󰀨erent installation

options illustrated in Figure 3 can

be used. It is important that the

surface surrounding the top of the

cassette have at least a 3 in

(72 mm) clearance from any vertical

surface and the barrier be 10 in

(254 mm) high from the installation

surface, to ensure optimal ame

production.

!NOTE: It is recommended

that during drywall installation

and nishing the media plate be

installed with the provided bag

to prevent dust and debris from

entering the unit.

1. Use studs to frame an

enclosure with the following

minimum internal/opening

dimensions. Note that the

Media Plate (supplied) and Log

Set (optional) require di󰀨erent

opening widths - see Figure 2.

!NOTE: A fresh air inlet that

is a minimum of 80in2 (516 cm2)

for the CDFI1000-PRO and 40in2

(258 cm2) for the CDFI500-PRO, is

required. The air intake must allow

for air to reach the underside of the

Opti-myst Cassette (Figure 2 & 3).

If installing into the Opti-myst Pro

Box Heater (optional), no additional

air intake is required. The Opti-

myst Pro Box Heater is designed

with air intakes included.

For optimal performance, a

clearance of 18 in (457 mm)

between the installation surface

and any surface above should be

maintained. A minimum clearance

of 16 in (405 mm) must be

maintained.

2. In the back left corner of

the unit, locate and remove

the electrical cover plate, by

removing the two securing

screws.

3. Install a ⅜ in (10 mm) or ½ in

(13 mm) cable connector, not

included, suitable for mounting

in a ⅞ in (22 mm) hole, to the

cable plate and feed the supply

cable through the connector.

The cable plate can be

removed by removing the two

securing screws on either side,

to allow for easier access.

CAUTION: Use two conductor,

non-metallic sheath cable with
