QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE FOR milanoef

1. Prior to the first use of the milanoef verify the following:

• Are the circuit breakers for the unit on?

• Are the light bulbs in your milanoef loose? (to check, follow the

instructions for replacing the light bulbs under the maintenance

section of this manual)

2. The heater on your milanoef may emit a slight, harmless odor when

first used. This odor is a normal condition caused by the initial

heating of internal heater parts and will not occur again.

3. The information regarding the model of your milanoef can be found on

the rating plate located on the back of the unit.

4. If you have any technical questions, questions regarding the

operation of your milanoef, or require service contact Dimplex North

America customer service at 1-888-DIMPLEX (1-888-346-7539). Do not

return this unit to the store where purchased.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

PLEASE RETAIN THIS USER’S GUIDE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the

risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the milanoef.

2. The unit is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot

surfaces. The trim around the heater outlet becomes hot during heater operation. Keep

combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains

at least 3 feet (0.9m) from the front of the unit.

3. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids

and whenever the unit is left operating and unattended.

4. Always unplug the milanoef when not in use.

5. Do not operate any unit with a damaged cord or plug, or if the heater has malfunctioned,

or if the milanoef has been dropped or damaged in any manner.

6. Do not use outdoors.

7. The milanoef is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor

locations.

8. Do not run the cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or the

like. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.

9. To disconnect the unit, turn the controls off, then remove the plug from the outlet.

10.Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this

may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage to the heater.

11.To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intake or exhaust in any manner.

12.All electrical heaters have hot and arching or sparking parts inside. Do not use in areas

where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored or where the unit will be

exposed to flammable vapors.

13.Do not modify the milanoef. Use it only as described in this manual. Any other use not

recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury to persons.

14.Avoid the use of an extension cord. Extension cords may overheat and cause a risk of

fire. If you must use an extension cord, the cord must be No. 16 AWG minimum size

and rated no less than 1875 watts.

15.Do not burn wood or other materials in the milanoef.

16.Do not strike glass door.

17.Always use a certified electrician should new circuits or outlets be required.

18.Always use properly grounded, fused and polarized outlets.

19.Disconnect all power supply before performing any cleaning, maintenance or relocation

of the unit.

20. When transporting or storing the unit and cord, keep in a dry place, free from excessive

vibration and store so as to avoid damage.

NOTE: Procedures and techniques that are considered important enough to emphasize.

CAUTION: Procedures and techniques which, if not carefully followed, will result in damage to

the equipment.

WARNING: Procedures and techniques which, if not carefully followed, will expose the user to

the risk of fire, serious injury, illness or death.

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.

milanoef 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

When in “=” position the unit is operated with the ON and OFF buttons of the remote

control.

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

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.
