This is YOUR Control
Make sure both of the wall switches next to the heater are turned to the On position and the product has been
programmed with the times you want heat (see full user instructions). When first switched on your heaters display
screen will perform an initial start-up test, it will then display a room temperature of 21°C.
1. To Set and Adjust the Room Temperature
Turn the selector dial to the left to lower the heat and to
the right to increase the heat.
The screen will go Blue when the temperature is turned
down and Red when it’s turned up.
2. Set your Comfort Level
As a guide, the normal room temperatures are –
Lounge / Sitting room 21°C to 23°C
All Other areas 18°C
We recommend setting the control to 22°C in the
lounge and 18°C in all other areas. If the temperature
in the room is too low, adjust the heat level up by 1°C,
too high adjust the heat level down by 1°C. Once the
comfort level has been achieved you no longer need to
adjust this control so its Set & Forget (if you do adjust
it this may affect the amount of heat you have stored for
the following day).
3. When will the Heater Blow Out Heat
The heater will blow out warm air at the times set (see
full Operating instructions) and if the room requires
heat. It also has 2 pre-set timed programs, these are;-
Home (if you are In all day) - If you have set the
temperature to your chosen level and the room requires
heating, the heater’s fan will blow out heat between –
06.30 - 09.30, 11.00 - 13.00, 15.00 - 17.00 and 18.00 - 22.00
Out all day - If you have set the temperature to your
chosen level and the room requires heat the heater’s
fan will blow out heat between –
06.00 - 08.30 and 17.00 - 22.00 - 1 -
• To select either of these options press MENU button
(2 above) and turn the Selector Dial (5 above) in
any direction until you highlight the Timer Mode
press Selector Dial (5 above) once to confirm.
Home or Out all Day are selected by highlighting
the program you require and pressing the Selector
Dial down once.
The times for Home & Out all Day can be changed
– refer to the main Operating Instruction
4. The Outer Case of the Heater
The ends of the heater will always be cooler than the
middle (the Quantum 125 will have a larger cooler area
on the left-hand side), this is normal.
The areas indicated below will be cooler, this is normal.
Because the majority of the heat is being blown out
of the bottom of the heater it’s very important to
keep this area clear of any obstructions.

5. Summer Use
When you no longer require heat you can turn both of
the switches supplying electricity to the heater to OFF.
Leave them in this position until you need to use the
heater again, at which time switch both switches to ON.
The heater has a built in battery so it will remember the
date & time and programmed settings and will revert to
these when the wall switches are turned to On.
6. Advance
If you want to change the status of the comfort mode
(fan operation) without changing the programmed times
then you can use the Advance facility.
The advance facility allows the user to either switch
the fan on (Comfort on) when currently the fan is off
(Comfort off) or switch the fan off (Comfort off) when
currently the fan is on (Comfort on).
To indicate the advance feature has been selected the
text ADVANCE will be shown on the display screen (1).
The advance feature is automatically disabled at the
next programmed period.
To select advance press the Advance button (4) once.
The text ADVANCE will be displayed on the display
screen to indicate that advance has been selected.
7. Boost
If for any reason you have run out of heat you can
activate the Boost element to provide additional room
heating. You can select the boost element to operate
for 1,2,3 or 4 hours. Once the time has elapsed the
boost element will automatically switch off.
To select the boost times you must first select Advance
by pressing once the Advance button (4).
To select the boost times (1, 2, 3 or 4 hours) keep
pressing the Advance button. The boost time will be
shown on the display screen (1). To cancel the boost
operation keep pressing the advance button (4) until
the advance and boost text on the display screen (1) is
removed.
Note: The boost element runs on the peak
electricity tariff and therefore prolonged use of the
boost element can lead to higher running costs.

8. Auto Boost

on during the Comfort On periods when the Auto Boost
function should be turned on. In this way the boost
element will come on automatically during the Comfort
On periods to enable the comfort temperature to be
attained.

lead to prolonged periods when the boost element

increase in running costs.
