Operating instructions

- 3 -
We recommend that a guard is fi tted around the heater, as
is normal with some types of heating appliances in similar
circumstances. A range of guards specially designed for
Dimplex storage 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 such as curtains can
come to within 75mm (3”) of the top and ends of the heater casing.
• 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 fi xings 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 fi rst few days of operation. For installation
with multiple new heaters the commissioning should be staggered
over a few days (two charge periods for each heater - normally
48 hours) to minimise the odour levels. 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 fi rst 48 hours of the commissioning period.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS STORAGE 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.
• Quantum heaters are not suitable for installation in bathrooms,
shower rooms etc. or in areas of high humidity.
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.
