vicinity of a bath, shower or swimming pool.
Use the appliance only in a dry environment. If you are
using it on a balcony or on the terrace, make absolutely

stumbling trap.
Connect the appliance only to a 1,500 watt output
extension lead.
Remove the mains plug, if a disturbance occurs during
use, after use and before cleaning. When doing so,
always pull the plug itself - never the cable.

General
Your Dimplex Terrace Heater is intended for use on a patio or
terrace area adjoining your home. It is specifically designed
for domestic use, and is not suitable for commercial
applications.
Electrical
This heater must only be connected to an A.C.~ supply. The
supply voltage must correspond to the voltage shown on the
heaters rating label. This heater is fitted with a plug
incorporating a 13 amp fuse. When replacing the fuse, a 13
amp fuse approved by ASTA to BS 1362 must be used.
IMPORTANT : The wires in this mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code :

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not
correspond with the coloured markings in your plug, proceed
as follows :
Connect the BROWN wire to the terminal marked 'L' or
coloured RED. Connect the BLUE wire to the terminal marked
'N' or coloured BLACK. Note : 'L' or 'N' must not be connected
to the EARTH terminal marked 'E' or
or GREEN AND YELLOW.
If in doubt, consult your electrician.
Assembling the appliance
Only after the heater has been fully assembled, should the
protective polystyrene foam be removed from the heating
element.
Place the heating element together with the stand carefully
on the floor so that the heating bars face downwards.
Place the lower end of the stand into the base half which has
a pin on the inside. The pin should be pushed into the top
hole of the stand.
Place the second half of the base on to the first half and
press the two halves together until they engage.
Insert the screw provided in the hole on the side of the base
in which there is not a nut, and screw everything together
tight for use - see Fig. 2.
If a 13 A (BS1363) plug is used it must be fitted with a 13 A
fuse conforming to BS1362 and be ASTA approved. If any
other type of plug is used, the appliance must be protected
by a 10A fuse either in the plug or adapter or at the distribution
board.
If in doubt – consult a qualified electrician.
Never use the plug without closing the fuse cover.
