How to use your heater

CONVECTAIR heaters operate in short cycles. The red indicator light tells you when heat is on. The CONVECTAIR will always remain warm and ambient temperature will remain constant. It is normal in very cold temperatures for the unit to become hot. Caution is advised when young children are present.

With the power ON, and the Mode selector on Standby (“--”), press the Mode and + keys at the same time and hold for 3 seconds.

The display ﬂashes the temperature in the new scale and reverts to Standby (“--”).

Press the Mode key to display the temperature in the new scale.

Turn the heating on. The display shows 19.0°C (or 66.0°F if set in Fahrenheit). Using the + and – keys, you can raise or lower the setting as you wish by 1° each time the key is pressed.

This is how you can adjust the thermostat to your desired temperature (see example).

To conﬁrm this comfort level, you may follow the following procedure, preferably in the evening (no sun inﬂuence) : close the doors to the room where the heater is located ; wait about one hour to allow for the temperature to stabilize, then adjust the setting up or down (+ or – keys) until the temperature feels right.

Allow another hour to verify that the temperature has stabilized at the correct level.

5- SETBACk (ECONOMY) MODE :

When the heater is in EC Mode, it will maintain the temperature at a lower value. This setting is useful to reduce energy consumption at night or when a room is temporarily unused.

To select the EC mode : Press the Mode key brieﬂy until the letters EC appears on the display.

To display the EC temperature setting : While in EC mode, press the + or – key. The EC temperature setting will appear on the display (the default setting is 3°C or 5°F below the Comfort temperature).

6- FROST PROTECTION MODE : HG :

In case of longer term absence (24hrs or more), the HG mode will maintain the room temperature at 7°C (45°F). You can reduce your energy consumption while maintaining a minimum safe temperature.

To select the HG mode : Press the Mode key until the display shows : HG.

To change the EC temperature : When the display is in Ec mode, press and maintain the Mode key until the temperature value starts to blink. Release the Mode key and adjust the temperature up or down in 1° steps using the + or – keys. Press Mode to conﬁrm the setting.

Note : the EC temperature is relative to the Comfort temperature. If the Comfort setting is changed, the EC temperature will change automatically to maintain the same difference between the two values.

Exceptions to the EC Mode :

if the heater is connected to a Programming system, it will still respond to a Frost Protection instruction.

Page 8

This mode allows the heater to respond to instructions from a central Programmer system or from an individual Programmer module.

The thermostat display will show what instruction is being received (see summary table below).

Operation and Maintenance TIPS

Your CONVECTAIR heater will become hot when in use. Caution is advised when young children are present.

Do not insert small objects through the front louvers : this could cause electrical shortcircuit, ﬁre or damage to the inner components.

Any use or modiﬁcations not approved by CONVECTAIR may cause electrical shortcircuits, ﬁre or injuries to the users.

In certain cases, it is possible for yellowing of the grille to occur over time. This is not due to a manufacturing defect. This is caused by surrounding air, which contains smoke or dust, being heated and released through grille.

Prevention : it is suggested that grilles be frequently cleaned especially with units installed in locations where cigarette smoke is present or in the kitchen. Never use this heater during construction work or other activities that generate a lot of dust.

Note : The ﬁrst time your CONVECTAIR heats, a light smoke could be released. This is normal and should disappear after about 2 to 3 minutes.

Diagnostics

IF YOUR CONVECTAIR DOES NOT HEAT :

Before calling your electrician, please go through these simple checks:

1- Make sure the breaker in the distribution panel is in the "ON" position.

2- Check that the function selector switch is on . Turn the setting dial to

position 9.

3- Check the overheat protection : ﬁrst remove any obstruction from the inlet and outlet grilles ; then reset the overheat button (see : Temperature limiting controls).

4- If the light is still off, and no heat is generated, call your electrician or the nearest CONVECTAIR repair center.
