Particular attention has to be given where children and vulnerable people are present.

For your safety this heater is ﬁtted with a thermal cut-out. In the event that the product

overheats for some reason, the cut-out prevents excessive temperatures on the

product by cutting the power to the heater. Once the heater has cooled down, it will

reset automatically, it will continue to cycle on and o automatically until the reason for

overheating is removed.

The display screen may ﬂash red to indicate the product has overheated. To reset the

Product Clearances

WARNING:

DO NOT PLACE OBJECTS WITHIN 300mm OF THE FRONT OF THE HEATER AND

150mm EITHER SIDE

It is important to be aware of how your Quantum storage heater has been installed electrically. If you Quantum

has only one electrical connection, it must be carefully conﬁgured to work with your o-peak electricity tarri.

Available ﬁxed charge times must be manually programmed into the heater to tell it when to charge; no external

timers or contactors are needed. Up-to 4 digital charge times can be set.

If charge times are not programmed into the heater, the default times will be used which are set-up by default to

support dual-supply installations: 00:00 – 00:00 or 24h charge window.

A 24h charge window in a single supply installation will cause the heater to charge continuously,

including times when o-peak electricity is not available, resulting in larger bills.

Single Supply

NOTE:

If electricity tarri charge times have changed, the digital charge times in the heaters settings must be

checked to ensure they match.
