IMPORTANT

WARNING - THE SURFACE OF THIS HEATER CAN BE HOT.

• The surface temperatures of this heater are within the requirements of EN60335-2-61, the European Standard covering the safety requirements for Electric Storage Heaters, and momentary contact with any part of the heater should not cause injury. However, in order to be effective, heaters of any type do get hot, especially around the air outlet grille.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualiﬁ ed individual in order to avoid a hazard.

• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be made by children without supervision.

• Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless continuously supervised. Children aged from 3 years and less than 8 years shall only switch on/off the appliance provided that it has been placed or installed in its intended normal operating position and they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children aged from 3 years and less than 8 years must not plug in, regulate and clean the appliance or perform user maintenance.

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.

• If aged or inﬁ rm persons, or young children, are likely to be left unsupervised in the vicinity of a heater precautions should be taken to ensure that prolonged contact with the heater cannot occur. Where particularly vulnerable people are likely to be left unsupervised in the vicinity of the heater we recommend that a guard is ﬁ tted around the heater, as is normal with heating appliances in similar circumstances. A range of guards specially designed for Dimplex heaters is available. If you require further information on these guards, please see contact details on back page of these instructions.

Do not place objects within 300mm of the front of the heater and 150mm (min. 75mm) either side.

CAUTION: DO NOT COVER SURFACES OF THE

HEATER AND DO NOT OBSTRUCT AIR OUTLET GRILLES.

• Surfaces of the heater should not be covered or obstructed as this can cause excessive temperatures that can be hazardous and may cause safety cut-outs to operate. This will stop the heater from working.

• Do not put clothes, fabrics or any combustible materials on the heater.

• Do not allow objects to come within 250mm (10”) of the top and 75mm (3”) of the ends of the heater. Do not allow any

obstruction to be placed on the ﬂ oor within 300mm (12”) of the front of the heater and 75mm (3”) of each side.

• Curtains must not come to within 75mm (3”) of the top of the heater.

• DO NOT SIT OR STAND ON THE HEATER.

• DO NOT PLACE OBJECTS IN CONTACT WITH THE HEATER.

IMPORTANT - Due to the newness of materials the heater will • produce a smell for the ﬁ rst few days of operation. Rooms must be well ventilated and young children, caged birds, or persons with respiratory complaints must not remain in close proximity to the heater during the ﬁ rst 48 hours of operation.

PLEASE NOTE: YOUR HEATER IS VERY HEAVY AND

MUST BE SECURELY FIXED TO A SOUND WALL.

• No attempt should be made to move the heater without ﬁ rst seeking specialist advice. If you are not happy that the heater has been securely ﬁ xed, please inform your installer.

ATTENTION:

IN ORDER TO AVOID

OVERHEATING DO NOT

COVER THE HEATER

The bene• ts of Quantum

Quantum is designed to be a responsive heating system

that meets your comfort requirements while optimising

energy use.

The heater releases heat in two ways:

1. A small amount of heat is dispersed by ‘natural’

convection and radiation from the heater case.

2. The vast majority of heat is released using the built-

in fan that pushes hot air out from the heat outlet

grille at the bottom of the product.

Minimising the release of stored heat from the outer

casing means that more energy is available when

warmth is required. This makes more efﬁ cient use of the

stored energy as you can ‘turn off’ the heater when you

are out or do not need it.

Heater Commissioning

IMPORTANT - The new materials in the heater will

produce a slight smell for the ﬁ rst few days of operation.

Rooms must be well ventilated and young children,

caged birds, or persons with respiratory complaints must

not remain in close proximity to the heater during the ﬁ rst

48 hours of operation.

During ﬁ rst operation of the fan you may notice a small

amount of dust discharged from the air outlet grille at the

bottom of the product.

Function

Compared with traditional storage heaters the amount

of energy released from the outer case of the heater

is signiﬁ cantly reduced, resulting in lower surface

temperatures. This allows more efﬁ cient running

because the Quantum is heating the room only when

you want it to.

The stored energy is primarily released by using a low

speed fan to ‘push’ the heat from the stored core and

into the room. Running the timed programs or adjusting

the temperature thermostat will prompt the heater to run

the fan automatically if it is required.

NOTE: THERE IS A DELAY OF UP TO TWO MINUTES

ON THE FAN OPERATION WHEN SWITCHING TO

‘Comfort On’ AND ‘Comfort Off’, THIS IS NORMAL.

Summer

When heat is not needed both wall switches may be

turned off. Turn these both back on when heat is

needed again in autumn, all of your previously

stored settings and programmes will be remembered

by the the heater.

NOTE

UE TO THE LOW ENERGY LOSSES FROM

THE CASING OF THE HEATER THE SURFACE

TEMPERATURE MAY APPEAR TO BE LOW, BUT

THIS IS NORMAL.

NOTE

CCASIONAL CLICKING SOUNDS DURING

OPERATION ARE DUE TO TEMPERATURE

CHANGES IN THE STORAGE CORE.
