WARNING
AVERTISSEMENT
Before installing and operating this product, the user and/or installer must read, understand and follow these instructions and keep them handy for future refe
rence. If these instructions are not followed, the warranty will be considered null and void and the manufacturer deems no further responsibility for this product.
This product must be installed by a qualied person and connected by a
effective in your region.
The following instructions must be adhered to in order to avoid personal injuries or property damages, serious injuries and potentially fatal electric shocks.
Protect the heating unit with the appropriate circuit breaker or fuse, in accordance with the nameplate.
Make sure the line voltage (volt) is consistent with that indicated on the unit’s nameplate.
This unit must be
Switch off the power at the circuit breaker/fuse before installing, repairing and cleaning the unit.
Make sure the unit is appropriate for the intended use (if needed, refer to the product catalog or a representative). Use this heater only as described in this
manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause re, electric shock, or injury to persons. Do not use outdoors.
RECOMMENDED HEATING CAPACITY:
1,25 W/cubic foot (0.03 m³).
It corresponds to 10 W/square foot (0.09 m²) based on a standard ceiling height of 8 feet (2.44 m). The recommended capacity is usually sufcient for normal heating needs. Please note that the insulation quality of walls and windows are some of the factors that inuence heat losses, which modify the required capacity to heat a room. If needed, refer to a specialist who will be able to calculate these heat losses and optimize the required capacity or consult the
“Online heating calculation” section of the Stelpro Design Web site (residential buildings). To heat a large room and increase your comfort, it is recommended
to install several units instead of one. For example, 2 X 1000 W rather than 1 X 2000 W.
If the unit’s capacity is insufcient for the size of the room, it will be in operation continuously, and may become defective earlier and turn yellow.
Do not install the unit where objects or pieces of furniture could be heat damaged.
Respect distances and positions indicated in the installation section.
If the installer or the user modies the unit, he will be held responsible for any damage resulting from this modication, and the CSA certication could be void.
This unit must not come into contact with a water source and must be protected from splashes (e.g. a wet mop). Do not use it if any part has been immersed.
Moreover, do not turn it on or off when standing in water or if your hands are wet.
When mounting the unit, make sure that the anchorage used can support the total weight of the unit with the mounting brackets.
When cutting or drilling into a wall, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
Do not install this product on walls made of synthetic material such as, but not limited to, carpet and wallpaper.
When starting up the unit for the rst time or after a long period, it is normal that it produces some temporary odours and whitish smoke.
Because this unit is hot when in use, it may pose risks even in normal operation. Therefore, be careful and responsible when using it. To avoid burns, do not
let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Let the unit cool down for a few minutes before handling it (it stays warm for some time after shut-down). Extreme caution is
necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
CAUTION – High temperature, risk of re, keep electrical cords, drapery, furnishings, and other combustibles at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the
heater and away from the side and rear.
Do not install on a wall behind a door.
Never block air vents (with objects or other items). You risk damaging the heater and the obstruction could lead to electric shock or overheating, which could
result in a re.
Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any air vent as this may cause electric shocks, res, or damages to the unit.
This unit has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. It is not designed to be used or stored in wet areas or areas containing ammable liquids, combustible
materials or corrosive, abrasive, chemical, explosive and ammable substances such as, but not limited to, gasoline, paint, chlorine, sawdust and cleaning
products. Store it in a dry place.
Some areas are dustier than others. Thus, it is the user’s responsibility to evaluate if the unit must be cleaned based on the amount of dirt accumulated on
and inside air vents. Accumulated dirt can lead to a component malfunction or discoloration (yellowing). It may cause a re if not installed and maintained in
accordance with these instructions.
The thermal protection activation indicates that the unit has been subjected to abnormal operating conditions so the light shall lit up. If the thermal protection
remains activated or activates and deactivates repeatedly, it is recommended that a qualied electrician or a certied repair centre examine the unit in order
to make sure it is not damaged. (Refer to the limited warranty).
Before unplugging the unit, all controls must be in the “OFF” position and the current from the main breaker panel should be cut. (The general switch may be
used also, if included.) If the unit is damaged or defective, discontinue use, cut off power supply at circuit breaker and contact a certied electrician or certied
repair centre. (Refer to the limited warranty)
Make sure that all the electrical connections are secure and have been made properly. Pull each wire to ensure it is not loose in the connector or the terminal
board as this may cause a re.
If an option must be added, make sure it has been approved by Stelpro. This way, it will ensure that it has been tested in accordance with our safety rules and
that an appropriate installation has been planned into the unit.
