Caution: Some parts of this product can become very hot and cause burns. Particular
attention has to be given where children and vulnerable people are present. This instruction
can be found at www.dimplex.co.uk
Warning: In order to avoid overheating, do not cover the heater. Do not place material or
garments on the appliance, or obstruct the air circulation around the appliance, for instance by

WARNING: KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
1. Swallowing may lead to serious injury in as little as 2 hours or death, due to chemical burns
and potential perforation of the oesophagus.
2. If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body seek
immediate medical attention
3. Examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly secured, e.g. that
the screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened. Do not use if the compartment is not
secure.
4. Dispose of used button batteries immediately and safely. Flat batteries can still be dangerous.
CAUTION: No obvious symptoms
Unfortunately, it is not obvious when a button or coin battery is stuck in a child’s oesophagus
(food pipe).
There are no specic symptoms associated with this. The child might:
• cough, gag or drool a lot;
• appear to have a stomach upset or a virus;
• be sick;
• point to their throat or stomach;
• have a pain in their abdomen, chest or throat;
• be tired or lethargic;
• be quieter or more clingy than usual or otherwise “not themselves”;
• lose their appetite or have a reduced appetite; and
• not want to eat solid food/be unable to eat solid food.
These sorts of symptoms vary or uctuate, with the pain increasing and then subsiding.
A specic symptom to button and coin battery ingestion is vomiting fresh (bright red) blood. If
the child does this seek immediate medical help.
The lack of clear symptoms is why it is important to be vigilant with “at” or spare button or
coin batteries in the home and the products that contain them.
Unpack the heater carefully and retain the packaging for possible future use, in the event of
moving or returning the re to your supplier.
These models are designed to be free standing and are normally positioned against a wall.
The re incorporates a ame eect, which can be used with or without heating, so that the
comforting eect may be enjoyed at any time of the year. Using the ame eect on its own only
requires little electricity.
A choice of 1kW or 2kW heat output is provided by the fan heater, which is located at the bottom
of the unit.
Before connecting the heater check that the supply voltage is the same as that stated on the
heater.
Please note: Used in an environment where background noise is very low, it may be possible to
hear a sound which is related to the operation of the ame eect. This is normal and should not
be a cause for concern.
