Quick Reference Guide General Introduction This storage heater heats its highly insulated storage 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 thermostatically controlled fan. The Dimplex control system automatically stores more energy as it gets colder, keeping you warm and comfortable no matter the outdoor conditions.

Open the carton at the bottom, slide the heater out of the carton exposing the feet and the hardware kit located within the packaging on the right hand side. Remove the feet and the hardware kit. Figure 4 2. Secure the feet to the heater, using the screws provided in the hardware kit. ! NOTE: For models QSH-70 and QSH-100 two locations are possible for mounting each foot.
