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.
Where particularly vulnerable people are likely to be left
unsupervised in the vicinity of the heater we recommend that
a guard is fi tted around the heater, as is normal with heating
appliances in similar circumstances. A range of guards
specially designed for Dimplex 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 can come to within
250mm (10”) of the top or 75mm (3”) of the ends of the heater
casing. Do not place objects within 300mm of the front of the
heater.
• Curtains must not come to within 75mm (3”) of the top of the
heater.
• 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. 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 operation.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS 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.
• UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE WALL
FIXINGS BE LOOSENED ON THIS HEATER BEFORE THE
BRICKS HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM ITS CORE.
• Quantum heaters are not suitable for installation in bathrooms,
shower rooms etc. or in areas of high humidity.
