Site Selection And Preparation - Dimplex DF3003 Owner's Manual

Site Selection and Preparation

This section provides easy step by step instructions for selecting a
location and preparing the site to install the fireplace into:
• Existing fireplace
• New wall construction
• Dimplex mantel surround kit or custom made mantel surround
! NOTE: A 15 Amp, 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.
! NOTE: The fireplace insert comes completely assembled and
wired. Some tools may be required to prepare the site and
assembly/install the trim.
The dimensions of the fireplace insert are 30 1/4 inch (76.8 cm)
wide X 25 1/2 inch (64.8 cm) high X 11 1/2 inch (29.2 cm) deep
(Figure 2).
You should allow 1/4 inch (6.4 cm) around the fireplace insert for
ease of installation. This fireplace does not require any venting.
CAUTION: Clearance for air circulation beneath the fireplace insert
is provided by four (4) rubber feet (Figure 2). Do not install the
fireplace insert directly on carpet or similar surfaces which
