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 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

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.

CONTEMPTA INSTALLATION

1. Make sure the unit is switched OFF (refer to operating instruction section).

2. Plug the unit into a 15Amp/120volt outlet. If the cord does not reach, you

may use an extension cord rated for a minimum of 1875 watts

OPERATION

To access the controls go to the front panel of the unit (refer to diagram below)

1. MAIN ON/OFF SWITCH

The on/off switch supplies power to all unit functions (heat/flame)

2. HEATER ON/OFF SWITCH

The HEATER ON/OFF SWITCH supplies power to the heater fan and the

heater element and must be turned on before heat can be created.

3. HEATER THERMOSTAT CONTROL

To adjust the temperature to your individual requirements, turn the heater

thermostat control knob clockwise all the way to turn on the heater. When the

room reached the desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob counter

clockwise until you hear a click. Leave in this position to maintain the room

temperature at this setting. For additional heat, turn clockwise until you hear

the click again and the heater will turn on. To turn the heater off, switch the

HEATER ON/OFF SWITCH to the OFF position.

NOTE:- When the heater is switched ON, the heater fan will operate. The heater

element may or may not be on, depending on the thermostat control setting (SEE

“HEATER THERMOSTAT CONTROL” above).

RESETTING THE TEMPERATURE CUTOFF SWITCH

This unit is equipped with a thermostat, which controls the temperature of the

room. It does this by turning the heater on and off. The heater is protected with a

safety device to prevent overheating. Should the heater overheat, an automatic

cut out will turn the heater off and it will not come back on without being reset. It

can be reset by switching the ON/OFF SWITCH to OFF and waiting 5 minutes

before switching the unit back on.

CAUTION

If you need to continuously reset the heater, unplug the unit and call Dimplex North

America Limited at 1-800-668-6663.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING

Disconnect power before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the

risk of fire, electric shock or damage to persons.

LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT

Allow at least 5 minutes for light bulbs to cool off before touching bulbs to avoid

accidental burning of skin.

Light bulbs need to be replaced when you notice a dark section of the flame or

when the clarity and detail of the log exterior disappears. There are two bulbs

under the log set which generate the flames and embers.

GLASS CLEANING

The glass is cleaned in the factory during the assembly operation. During

shipment, installation, handling, etc., the glass surface may collect dust particles;

these can be removed by buffing lightly with a clean dry cloth.

To remove fingerprints or other marks, the glass can be cleaned with a damp cloth

using a good quality household glass cleaner. The glass should be completely

dried with a lint free cloth or paper towel. Do not use abrasive cleaners on glass

surface or spray liquids directly onto any surface.

contempraef SURFACE CLEANING

Use warm water only to clean painted surfaces of the contempraef. Do not use

abrasive cleaners on surface or spray liquids directly onto any surface.

TO REPLACE THE LIGHT BULBS

1. On the back of the contempraef remove the screws from the light access

cover.

2. Remove the light access cover.

4. Reach into the opening, locate and examine the bulbs to determine which

bulb(s) required replacement.

1. Unscrew the bulb(s) counter clockwise.

2. Insert new bulb(s).

7. Install the light access cover and install the screws

HELPFUL HINTS

It is a good idea to replace all light bulbs at one time if they are close to the end of

their rated life. Group replacement will reduce the number of times you need to

open the unit to replace light bulbs.
