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.
1. Read all instructions before using the In-Stud
fireplace.
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.
3. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater
is used by or near children and whenever the
unit is left operating and unattended.
4. Always disconnect power to the fireplace when
not in use for extended period of time.
5. Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug (for
units supplied with a cord), or if the heater has
malfunctioned, or if the fireplace has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact
Dimplex Customer Services 1-888-346-7539
immediately.
6. Do not use outdoors.
7. Never locate heater where it may fall into a
bathtub or other water container.
8. Do not run the cord under carpeting (for units
supplied with a cord). 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, and
then remove the plug from the outlet or switch
off at main power supply panel if the unit is
hardwired.
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 fireplace. 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. This unit may have a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). The 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
fireplace.
16. Do not strike the glass front.
17. Always use a certified electrician for build-in
hard-wired installation.
18. Always use properly grounded, fused and
polarized outlets.

performing any cleaning, maintenance or
relocation of the unit.

keep in a dry place, free from excessive
vibration and store so as to avoid damage.

articles such as sand inside glass assembly.

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.
Step-by-Step Installation
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 the 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.
WARNING
The In-Stud fireplace is wall mountable and can be
build-in the wall space 16" over-center between 2"x4"

least one wall stud behind for the fireplace to
mount onto. The bottom of the unit must be a

such that it is farthest (to the left or right)
relative to the first one among the seven
keyholes (A to G shown in figure 2) on the
