General Introduction
This storage heater heats its highly insulated stor
-
age core of dense ceramic material at preselected
times to meet the day’s heating requirements.
When heat is required throughout the day, the
heater releases its stored heat by a silent ther
-
mostatically controlled fan. The Dimplex control
system automatically stores more energy as it
gets colder, keeping you warm and comfortable no
matter the outdoor conditions. Additional boost ele
-
ments are incorporated to ensure consistent com
-
fort if the core ever runs low on energy.
The Benefits of Quantum
Quantum is designed to be a responsive heating
system that meets your comfort requirements while
optimizing energy use. The heater releases heat in
two ways:
• A small amount of heat is dispersed by ‘natu
-
ral’ convection and radiation from the heater
case.
• The vast majority of heat is released using the
built-in fan that pushes hot air out from the
heat outlet grille at the bottom of the product.
Minimizing the release of stored heat from the
outer casing means that more energy is available
when warmth is required. This makes more effi
-
cient use of the stored energy as you can ‘turn off’
the heater when you are out or do not need it.
Choosing a Location
Compared with traditional storage heaters the
amount of energy released from the outer case
of the heater is significantly reduced. This allows
more efficient running because the Quantum is
heating the room only when you want it to.

NOTE:
Occasional clicking sounds during
operation are due to temperature changes in the
storage core.
When determining a location for the Quantum Stor

age Heater ensure that no objects are closer than
300 mm (11.8”) in front of the unit, 100 mm (3.9”)
on either side or 250 mm (9.8”) above the heater.

tion.
CAUTION:
Rooms must be well ventilated and
your children, cages birds, or persons with respira

tory complaints must not remain in close proximity
to the heater during the first 48 hours of the start-
up period of each heater.

NOTE:
During first operation of the fan you may
notice a small amount of dust discharged from the
air outlet grille at the bottom of the product.
