Electric Storage Heater-Help with the control knobs?

I_heart_bargains

Heya,

Just moved into a place with storage heaters in and although i think i have finally got my head round how they work (after hours of reading lol), there is one thing i cannot find any information on which is the control knobs on the heaters.

Aswell as the usual Input(1-3) and Output knobs, there is a 'Comfort' knob with numbers 1-4 on it. I know what the Input and Output do, but am a bit miffed about this extra knob.

They are Technotherm storage heaters if that's any help.

Does anyone know what this would do? Is it possibly something to do with a boost maybe? Until i find out i will just leave it turned off lol

Any help would be fab, thank you

Sorry, I don't have an answer but also need help. What do the other knobs do? Have the same heater but don't know how to work it.

This may be a bit late for one of you at least but i have my instructions for technotherm storage heaters here (just been reading up trying to adjust it so i don't boil in the morning). There is an addendum on the last page that explains how it works basically:
-it will vary the amount of stored heat dependent on ambient conditions.
-during a cold night it will heat up more, during a warm night it will heat up less
- it is recommended to set between 2 and 3 at first then adjust towards 1 over a couple of days until you find the right setting.
-the arrow/triangle will shut off the heater charge completely
-don't set it to less than 1 during winter or else it will not provide enough heat during the day

Hello Ellejaytee,

I wonder within your book on the Technothern Storage heaters is there a UK address for spare parts . I have some old storage heaters and have found the insulation panels are breaking down and need replacement . Any stockist or info regarding replacement parts would be greatfully appreciated .
