IMPORTANT SAFETY ADVICE

When using electrical heaters, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce

the risk of ﬁre, electrical shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

IMPORTANT – The wall bracket supplied with the heater must be used.

IMPORTANT – All packaging should be disposed of in an appropriate manner.

OVERHEATING WARNING

WARNING - In order to avoid overheating, do not cover or obstruct the heater. Do

not place material or garments on the heater, or obstruct the air circulation around the

heater, for instance by curtains or furniture, as this could cause overheating and a ﬁre

risk. NEVER cover or obstruct in any way the heat outlet slots at the top of the heater

or the air outlet slots in the base of the heater.

WARNING - THE SURFACES ON THIS HEATER CAN BE HOT.

The heater carries a warning ‘DO NOT COVER’ to alert the user to the risk of ﬁre

that exists if the heater is accidentally covered.

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.

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

display, remove the obstruction and hold Enter for 10 seconds.

SERVICING AND REPAIRS

WARNING - Servicing and product repairs should only be undertaken by the

manufacturers approved service agent or a similarly trained or qualiﬁed person, using

only exact manufacturer approved spare parts.

PLEASE NOTE: Household dust, lit cigarettes, candles and oil burners, combined with

the convection eect of electric heaters can cause signiﬁcant soot deposits to build

up on the surface directly above and to the sides of the heater. This is not a fault of the

heater. Extensive burning of candles or smoking in the operating environment of this

product can produce heavy discolouration within a few months of use.

OPERATING WARNINGS

IMPORTANT:Remember to observe all safety warnings and precautions when

operating the heater on the automatic or timer modes, either attended or unattended

since a ﬁre risk exists when the heater is accidentally covered, obstructed or displaced.

CAUTION:Do not use if either of the heater’s mains power leads become damaged. If

the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the installer or an approved Dimplex

service partner.

Do not sit or stand on the heater.

Ensure minimum clearances between the heater and other objects/surfaces are maintained.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

WARNING - Minimum clearances and IP zone requirements must be adhered to in

accordance with the current wiring regulations.

Mains cables are not provided with this heater.

WARNING - The electrical installation of this heater must be carried out by a suitably

qualiﬁed or trained electrician, and be in strict accordance with current wiring regulations.

The peak supply must be connected via a switched fused spur with a fuse rated suitably

for the appliances ﬂex, the o-peak supply, via a 20A double pole isolated switch.

In both instances a plug and socket arrangement MUST NOT be utilised. The contact

separation to be a minimum of 3mm.

If the product is installed as a single supply (see page 8, 27 and 37 for more details), a

20A DP switch must be used as the supply is covering peak and o peak loads.

Failure to follow these instructions will mean that the manufacturer’s instructions have

not been adhered to. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS.

• This heater must be earthed

• Not suitable for connection via a plug top

• Do not locate the heater immediately above, below or in front of a ﬁxed electrical point

i.e. socket outlet.

This appliance is intended for installation to a single phase supply only and is not suitable

for connection to 3 phase supplies.

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 tari.

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 tari charge times have changed, the digital charge times in the heaters settings must be

checked to ensure they match.

The controls are located on the top of the heater consisting of a display screen and three buttons and a Dial.

The heater is ﬁtted with an adjustable thermostat enabling the room temperature to be controlled. The minimum room

temperature is 7°C. The maximum temperature is set to 30°C by default. A temperature of 21°C is a common comfortable

room temperature.

NOTE:

Your heater may produce some noise during operation. This noise

is caused by the low noise fan and expansion and contraction of

the metalwork as it changes temperature, and is normal for this

type of product. Whilst the noise produced is usually very quiet,

certain environmental factors can make it more noticeable, such

as hard ﬂooring or minimal furnishings.
