IMPORTANT
These instructions should be read carefully and retained for future use.

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.

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.
Do not place objects within 300mm of the front of the heater and 150mm (min. 75mm) either side.
ATTENTION:
IN ORDER TO AVOID OVERHEATING DO NOT COVER THE HEATER

The benefi 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 builtin 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.

NOTE
DUE TO THE LOW ENERGY LOSSES FROM
THE CASING OF THE HEATER THE SURFACE
TEMPERATURE MAY APPEAR TO BE LOW, BUT
THIS IS NORMAL.
NOTE
OCCASIONAL CLICKING SOUNDS DURING
OPERATION ARE DUE TO TEMPERATURE
CHANGES IN THE STORAGE CORE.
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.
