User introduction Thank you for choosing the Dimplex Q-Rad Electric Radiator. We manufacture the highest quality heating products for use in a wide variety of environments. This product has been designed to incorporate the latest, most advanced technologies to give you maximum control over your heating. The system allows for the simple setting of required time and temperature, and includes many energy-saving features which work automatically to help keep you warm for less.
Quick Start Guide This guide is for quick reference only. Please refer to the operating section for further information. How Does the Heater Control Work? The control allows you to choose when you want heat and at what temperature. When using a timer mode (see below), Comfort On will display on the home screen to tell you when the heater is maintaining the temperature displayed. Comfort Off will display when the heater is outside of a timed heating period.
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 alter anything. If you are in during the day then you should select the Home All Day mode which is a single heating period. The times of these modes can be modified, or the User Timer mode can be used to give you four periods of heating split throughout the day.
