Quick Start Guide

This guide is for quick reference only.
Please refer to the operating instructions for further information.
• The outer case of the Quantum heater will be cooler to touch than a conventional storage heater. This is because
less heat is ‘lost’ through the case, making more heat available from the fan outlet when needed.
• Nothing may be placed in the 30cm (1 foot) in front of the heater at any time. This is to avoid items coming into
contact with the grille and the heated air which leaves it. Blocking some or all of this area could represent a re
hazard.
• You do not need to decide how much heat to store. Simply set the timer mode and the temperature to what suits you
and leave the heater to meet your requirements.
• Ensure that both supply switches next to the heater are turned on. During the summer when no heat is required, both
wall switches can be turned off. Remember to turn both of these back on in Autumn when heat is required again.
How does the heater control work?
The heater control allows you to choose when you want the heating to be on, and at what temperature. To deliver the
required heat the control switches on and off a low speed fan that pushes stored heat from the core into the room.
The periods during which the heater is providing heat are called ‘Heating On’ (shown at the bottom of the screen).
Outside of these periods the heater will not deliver heat and these periods are called ‘Heating Off’. During the
‘Heating On’ periods the low speed fan will run to maintain the temperature on the screen. During the ‘Heating Off’
periods it will not.
Note: there is a delay of up to a minute on the fan operation when switching to ‘Heating On’ or ‘Heating off’.
This is normal and does not represent a fault.
Set the time
The time and date are set in the factory and should not need to be amended, however to check that they are correct
press Menu, then press the Selector Dial with Time / Date highlighted. Rotate the Selector Dial until the correct
value is shown, then press it down to conrm and move on to the next value. Repeat until all details are correct and
the main menu screen is showing again, then press Back.
The time is automatically adjusted in Spring and Autumn at the changes between Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and
British Summer Time (BST).
It is recommended to check the time every couple of months and adjust if necessary.
Set the temperature
The temperature shown on the display is the room temperature setpoint.
This is the temperature that the heater will maintain during the ‘Heating
On’ periods. If the room temperature is above this temperature then the
fan will not operate.
The heater leaves the factory with this temperature set at 21°C which
represents a typical, comfortable room temperature.
If you require a different room temperature then rotate the control dial
either clockwise or anticlockwise until the display shows the temperature
you require.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO TURN THIS DOWN OVERNIGHT.

Set the timer mode
Your Quantum heater
comes pre-programmed
with four timer modes.
These modes dene the
periods when the heater
will operate in ‘Heating
On’ mode.
The four modes are:
Timer Mode Description
User Timer Select your desired timeframes (4 periods)
Out All Day 7.5 hours heating per day in two periods
Home All Day 11 hours heating per day in four periods
Away Set the temperature and number of days for which you are on holiday
Which timer mode is best for me?
The heater leaves the factory set in Out All
Day mode. If you are out during the day and
only require heat in the mornings and evenings
then this mode will suit your lifestyle and you
won’t need to do anything. If you are in during
the day then you should select the Home All
Day mode. This mode will give you four periods
of heating split throughout the day.
If you are away for an extended period then
you can use the Away mode. This allows you
to reduce the heating during the period that you
are away, reverting to the previously selected
mode on the day you return.

Sometimes you may need to change the
way you use your heating temporarily. This is
achieved by using the Advance function. The
Advance function allows you to begin the next
‘Heating’ mode early.
If the heater is in ‘Heating Off’ mode and you
want heat – press the Advance button. If the
heater is in ‘Heating On’ mode and you don’t want heat, press the Advance button. The heater’s change mode will
go off until the beginning of the next ‘Heating’ period, then go back to the timed heating periods.
