Dimplex Quantum User manual

Quick Start Guide 11116-6 QSG044 Rev. 13F/11F

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 ﬁre

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 inAutumn when heat is required again.

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 ‘Comfort On’ (shown at the bottom of the screen).

Outside of these periods the heater will not deliver heat and these periods are called ‘Comfort Off’. During the

‘Comfort On’ periods the low speed fan will run to maintain the temperature on the screen. During the ‘Comfort Off’

periods it will not.

Note: there is a delay of up to a minute on the fan operation when switching to ‘Comfort On’ or ‘Comfort off’.

This is normal and does not represent a fault.

How does the heater control work?

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 ‘Comfort

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.

Comfort On

YOU DO NOT NEED TO TURN THIS DOWN OVERNIGHT.

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 conﬁrm 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.

Advance

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

‘Comfort’ mode early.

If the heater is in ‘Comfort Off’ mode and you

want heat – press the Advance button. If the

heater is in ‘Comfort 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 ‘Comfort’ period, then go back to the timed heating periods.

Boost

A supplemental boost element controlled by the electronic thermostat is provided if additional room heating is

required, for example, due to unusually cold weather. You can select how long the boost will run for, from one to four

hours. Once the boost has run for the selected time it will automatically switch off.

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 Holiday 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.

Please refer to the operating instructions for

information on how to modify the programmed

times.
