QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE FOR THE ELECTRIC STOVE

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

• Are the circuit breakers for the unit on?

instructions for replacing the light bulbs under the maintenance

section of this manual)

2. The heater on your Stove 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.

the rating plate located on the back of the unit.

4. If you have any technical questions or concerns regarding the

operation of your Stove, or require service contact Dimplex North

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 Stove.

2. The heater 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.

CAUTION: High Temperature, keep electrical cords, drapery, and other furnishings at

least 3FT (.9m) from the front of the heater and away from the side and rear.

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 Stove 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 Stove has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return heater to authorized service

facility for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.

6. Do not use outdoors.

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

Never locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.

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. Do not use on soft

surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.

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 Stove. 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. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than

the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the

outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper

outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. 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 Stove.

16. Do not strike the clear door panel.

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

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.

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.

shock or injury to persons, always use a licensed electrician.
