dimplex control knob
Storage Heaters – how do I set input/output controls for maximum efficiency?
The storage heater is Dimplex. It has 2 control dials at the top, one called Input and the other called Output. I switched on last night with the knobs about a quarter of the way up, but 24 hours later the room feels the same although the surface of the heater is not cold now. I dont understand how input/output are related. Is it possible to get more output from less input, meaning better efficiency? Grateful to anyone who can help! Regards, John
the output knob opens a flap to let the heat out ,it should be closed .from midnight to 7am ish this will give the heat a chance to store ,then you set it to what heat you require ,the input knob should be set at max this time of year .
Inside the heater are some bricks that get warm and stay warm,
hence storage heaters.the out put knob realeases the heat ,
what you have to remeber is that the input only comes live in the night time for seven hours (econemy seven),
