IMPORTANT

WARNING - THE SURFACE OF THIS HEATER CAN

BE HOT.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

• The installation must be carried out by a suitably qualiﬁed

individual in accordance with the latest IEE Regulations for

electrical equipment.

• For each supply, a means for disconnection must be incorporated

in the fixed wiring by a double pole switch with a contact

separation of a minimum of 3mm and in accordance with the

current IEE Wiring Regulations.

• The heater must not be installed immediately below a ﬁxed socket

outlet.

• The supply to the storage elements is not suitable for connection

to a 30A ring circuit (24 hour peak supply).

• If a supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualiﬁed

individual in order to avoid a hazard.

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.

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 shall 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 can 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 inﬁrm 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.

ATTENTION:

IN ORDER TO AVOID

OVERHEATING DO NOT

COVER THE HEATER

Do not place objects within

300mm of the front of the

heater and 150mm (min.

75mm) either side.

Where particularly vulnerable people are likely to be left

unsupervised in the vicinity of the heater we recommend that

a guard is ﬁtted 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 the Operating Instructions.

CAUTION: DO NOT COVER SURFACES OF THE

HEATER AND DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE AIR

OUTLET GRILLE.

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 position the heater where objects can come to within

250mm (10”) of the top or 75mm (3”) of the ends of the heater

casing. Do not place objects within 300mm of the front of the

heater.

• 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.•

To maintain stability, it is essential that the heater is placed•

on a level surface and care should be taken to avoid irregular

surfaces, such as may result from carpets or tiled surrounds

partially protruding under the heater.

Choose appropriate ﬁxings to securely attach the heater to the wall,•

see section titled ‘Installing the heater’ for detailed information.

This heater must be installed where it is impossible for its•

switches and other controls to be touched by a person using a

bath or shower.

IMPORTANT - Due to the newness of materials the heater will•

produce a smell for the ﬁrst 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 ﬁrst 48 hours of operation.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS HEATER IS VERY HEAVY AND MUST

BE SECURELY FIXED TO A SOUND WALL.

• If, during any reassembly of the heater, a part of the thermal

insulation shows damaged or deterioration which may impair

safety, it should be replaced with an identical part.

• UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE WALL

FIXINGS BE LOOSENED ON THIS HEATER BEFORE THE

BRICKS HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM ITS CORE.

• Quantum heaters are not suitable for installation in bathrooms,

shower rooms etc. or in areas of high humidity.

Preparation

1. Place the heater ﬂat on the ground with arrows

printed on the base of the carton pointing upwards.

Open the carton at the bottom, slide the heater out

of the carton by at least 200mm exposing the feet

and the ﬁxing kit located within the packaging on

the right hand side. Remove the feet and the ﬁxing

kit.

2. Secure the feet to the heater. For models QM070

and QM100 two locations are possible indicated by

Xand Ymarkings visible on the base of the heater.

Ensure the feet are !xed at the location holes

marked with an ‘X’, see Fig. 2.

However, if this is a replacement heater check the

pitch of the feet and choose the appropiate ﬁxing

positions - either X or Y.

Note - Foot screws are in the !xing kit.

Stand the heater on its feet before removing the

packaging.

Dispose of the packaging in an appropriate way.

Read these instructions carefully before

proceeding any further with the installation.

bottom of either end of the heater, which retain the

heater sides.

Push the left hand and right hand sides vertically

upwards to release each side from its securing

points.

Installing the Heater

The heater must be securely ﬁxed to a wall. Screws

with suitable wall ﬁxings for solid walls are provided.

If other wall types are encountered it is the installer

who must choose the most suitable ﬁxing.

SUGGESTED FIXINGS

SOLID BRICK/BLOCK: No. 10 size high

temperature resistant plastic inserts, 8mm drill bit.

Drill hole 15mm deeper than plastic insert length.

PLASTERBOARD - If possible locate studding and

use No. 10 woodscrews directly into the wood,

otherwise M5 rawlplug intersets are suitable.

NOTE: FOR OTHER WALL TYPES (eg. timber

frame and hollow concrete) SEEK SPECIALIST

ADVICE.

If the ﬂoor is carpeted then the carpet should be slit

and underlay cut away to allow the feet to rest ﬁrmly

on the ﬂoor. Carpet gripper must be locally removed

so that the feet may rest in a level position.

This appliance is heavy. The ﬂoor must be checked

to ensure that it is capable of bearing the weight of

the unit, up to 165kg.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES

ATTEMPT TO MOVE OR REPOSITION THIS

HEATER WITHOUT SEEKING EXPERT ADVICE.

6. Place the heater in its ﬁnal position and mark

the ﬁxing holes through the location holes visible

through the back of the heater.

Mark the ﬁxing positions at the two extreme ends of the

heater with the heater pushed tight against the wall.

Remove the wall bracket from the heater by removing

the two screws at each end of the bracket. Place

the heater to one side and reposition the bracket

against the wall aligning it with the location marks. It is

advisable to use a screwdriver with a magnetic tip

as screws dropped may enter the fan housing.

7. Six ﬁxing positions must be selected for each

model. Mark the positions for the ﬁxing holes.

Remove the bracket from the wall, drill the holes

and ﬁt the wall ﬁxings best suited to the application.

Secure the wall bracket to the wall using six screws.

Secure the heater using the appropriate screw ﬁttings.

NOTE: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD

ANY SCREWS BE REMOVED WITHOUT FIRST

REMOVING ALL BRICKS FROM THE HEATER.
