This heater is fitted with a rewirable plug incorporating a 13 amp  
fuse. When replacing the fuse, a 13 amp fuse approved by ASTA  
to BS 1362 must be used. If the plug is not suitable for your  
socket, remove it and fit an appropriate plug.  
IMPORTANT: If the plug is not suitable for your socket, the 13  
amp plug should be removed. Before wiring the appropriate plug,  
please note that the wires in this mains lead are coloured in  
accordance with the following code:  
BLUE – NEUTRAL  
BROWN – LIVE  
GREEN & YELLOW – EARTH  
For further information, please contact our guard supplier direct on  
Tel No 01603 667957, or in case of difficulty or for further advice  
contact the Customer Helpline – see page 4.  
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may  
not correspond with the coloured marking identifying the terminals  
in your plug, proceed as follows:

materials closer than 1 metre (39") in front of this heater - see also page 2.  
CAUTION – DO NOT use this heater where excessive dust or  
moisture is present.  
CAUTION – DO NOT use this heater in conjunction with an external  
thermal control, a programme controller, a timer or any other device  
which switches on the heater automatically, since a fire risk exists  
when the heater is accidentally covered or displaced.  
If in doubt, consult an electrician.

replaced by a special lead or assembly available from Dimplex  
or an authorised Dimplex service agent.  
Before switching on  
Remove the fuel effect (two screws) and check that the lamps and  
flicker rotors are positioned correctly – see Fig. 4, page 3.  
The flicker rotors should sit horizontally on their pins and spin  
freely without fouling their mounting brackets. If necessary, adjust  
the bracket by bending slightly.  
Refit the fuel effect by inserting the front edge first, then  
secure it with the two screws.  
Ensure that all packing items are removed (read any warning  
labels carefully) and that the fuel effect and radiant elements are  
positioned correctly, otherwise damage may occur.
