Frequently Asked Questions - LEE DIMPLEX

How do I install the Dimplex LEE fireplace?

Installation can be done as an insert into an existing fireplace opening or wall-mounted. Follow the installation instructions provided in the manual. Ensure proper clearance from combustibles and secure mounting.

Can I operate the fireplace without the heater?

Yes, the flame effect can be used independently of the heater. Simply set the heat setting to Off and enjoy the realistic flames.

How do I clean the glass?

Allow the unit to cool completely. Wipe the glass with a damp, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or chemicals.

The remote control is not working. What should I do?

First, replace the batteries. Ensure no obstructions between remote and receiver. If still not working, check if the unit is powered on. For persistent issues, contact Dimplex customer service.

Why is the flame effect not working?

Check that the unit is plugged in and the main power switch is on. The flame effect may have a separate button. If it still fails, the flame bulb may need replacement. Refer to manual for bulb type.

The heater keeps turning off by itself. Is there a problem?

This is likely the overheat protection feature activating. Ensure vents are not blocked. If the room is too hot, the heater will shut off. Reduce the thermostat setting or allow unit to cool.

Can I paint the fireplace surround?

Painting is not recommended as it may affect heat dissipation and void warranty. The surround is designed to be low-maintenance and durable.

What type of light bulbs does the fireplace use?

The Dimplex LEE uses 7W halogen bulbs or specialty flame bulbs. Refer to the manual for exact specifications and replacement procedure.

Is the fireplace safe for children and pets?

Yes, the glass remains cool to the touch (cool-touch glass) and the unit has overheat protection. However, always supervise children and pets around any appliance.

How can I reset the fireplace after a safety shutdown?

Unplug the unit for 10 minutes, then plug it back in. Ensure no blockages. If the issue persists, contact Dimplex support.

- be sick
- point to their throat or stomach
• have a pain in their abdomen, chest or throat

These types of symptoms vary or fluctuate. with the pain increasing and then subsiding.

A specific symptom to button and coin battery ingestion is vomiting fresh (bright red) blood. If the child does this seek immediate help. The lack of clear symptoms is why it is important to be vigilant with 'flat' or spare button or coin batteries in the home and the products that contain them.

General

Unpack the heater carefully and retain the packaging for possible future use, in the event of moving or returning the fire to your supplier.

These models are fitted with castors and handles so they can be moved from room to room with ease, and are freestanding and normally positioned against a wall.

The choice of 1kW or 2kW heat output is provided by the fan heater, which is located at the bottom of the unit.

The fire incorporates a flame effect, which can be used with or without heating, so that the comforting effect may be enjoyed at any time of the year. Using the flame effect on its own only requires little electricity.

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 flame effect. This is normal and should not be a cause for concern.

CAUTION: Except for installation and cleaning described in this manual, an authorized service representative should perform any other servicing.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

This heater must be used on an AC - supply only and the voltage marked on the heater must correspond to the supply voltage.

Before switching on, please read the safety warnings and operating instructions.
