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
reference. 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 certied electrician, according to the electrical and building codes 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 grounded.
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 install the unit where objects could be heat damaged or where object could burn if they are too close from the front of the heater.
Respect distances and positions indicated in the installation section.
If the installer or the user modies the unit, they will be held responsible for any damage resulting from this modication, and the CSA certication could be
void.
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 shutdown). Extreme caution is
necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
Make sure objects do not come into contact with the unit and keep them away from it at distances greater than the ones specied in this guide and on the
warning label on the unit (see the Installation section). Failure to comply with this warning could lead to a re. Some materials are more heat-sensitive than
others, so make sure those near the unit can withstand heat.
Do not use this unit in areas where you can nd large amount of inammable dust, vapors or gases in suspension.
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.
Do not use this product in areas containing ammable liquids, combustible materials or corrosive, abrasive, chemical, explosive and ammable substances
such as, but not limited to, gasoline, paint, chlorine and cleaning products.
Some areas are dustier than others. Accumulated dirt can lead to a component malfunction or discoloration (yellowing). It may cause a re hazard if not
installed and maintained in accordance with these instructions.
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)
Ensure to choose the model required for your application. You can ask either your distributor or the customer service. Overheating may occur if the chosen
model is too powerful for the application.

Note: This unit is designed to increase comfort, not to heat the ambiant air. A lot of factors can have an impact on the heat felt by users (wind, weather, etc.). It is
important to consider it before using the unit.
When a part of the product specication must be changed to improve operability or other functions, priority is given to the product specication itself. In such
instances, the instruction manual may not entirely match all the functions of the actual product. Therefore, the actual product and packaging, as well as the name
and illustration, may differ from the manual.
The 2000 W / 1600 W at 240 V / 208 V & 4000 W / 3200 W at 240 V / 208 V units can be controlled by the Stelpro electronic
dimmer that is equipped with a timer (not included).

For other types of controls: The power to the units can be reduced using appropriate controls. The controls must be able to handle inductive and
resistive loads. In addition, they must have circuits to regulate the start-up current, since this type of unit requires a high start-up current.
INStAllAtIoN
The 2000 W / 1600 W at 240 V / 208 V & 4000 W / 3200 W at 240 V / 208 V units can also be controlled by an independant
switch that is not offered by Stelpro.
The 4200 W at 347 V & 6000 W / 4800 W at 240 V / 208 V units can only be controlled by an independant switch that is
not offered by Stelpro.
N.B. Cut off power supply at circuit breaker/fuse before proceeding to the installation and wiring connections. This product must

INstallINg the INfRaRed RadIatORs:
- Unit must be horizontally mounted.
- If the support provided is not sufcient for the clearance distance
required, Stelpro offers an optional extensible support (product
code: KIT-SIRH-SUP1) which can be adjusted to obtain distances
ranging from 20 in. (51 cm) to 34 in. (86 cm).
- The unit can be installed on wood surfaces, gypsum, metal, brick,
stone or concrete.
- It is very important to respect the minimum clearance distance to
prevent re or damages to your property.
- This device emits very high radiant heat forward, when in close
proximity never point the front of the unit directly at a wall or ceiling,
doing so could also cause re or damage to your property. Once
the correct position is established, in order to prevent unwanted
movement of the unit, make sure the handles are securely tightened
with the spring washers in place.
- The unit must be rmly mounted to the mounting area using the
appropriate screws or any other mounting device (not included).
- When installing, make sure that the mounting surface behind the
unit is strong enough to support the weight of the bracket and the
unit. On a drywall/gypsum surface, thin wood or thin covering, you
need to ensure that the fasteners are securely anchored into wall
studs or ceiling joists.
- Unit must be mounted to the wall or ceiling following the illustrations
here.
- Adjust the installation angle with the angles displayed on the sides
of the support and the embossed marks (DETAIL A). Tighten the
handles of the unit in order to secure the chosen angle.

1. Before installing or replacing an infrared lamp, switch off the appropriate
circuit breaker in the electrical service panel.
2. Remove the back cover (1).
3. Before disconnecting the defective lamp, please note how the wires are xed
to the ceramic terminal blocks. It is very important to connect the lamps in the
same way as before (parallel or series connection).
4. Unplug the wires connected to the defective lamp (3) from the ceramic
terminal blocks.
5. Remove the four screws from the primary reector (2) and remove it. Unscrew
the two support clips on either end of the reector in order to remove the
lamp (3) from the mounting base.

6. Place the new infrared lamp (3) into the mounting base of the primary
reector (2), position the new lamp so that the wires (and the glass bump in the middle of the lamp) are facing away from the primary reector
(2). Insert and screw the support clips securing the lamp at each end of the mounting base.
N.B. Avoid applying too much pressure when inserting the infrared lamp in the support clips. Never insert the infrared element holding
regularly. Cut off power supply at circuit breaker/fuse and wait for
the unit to cool down before cleaning.
Use a soft rag for dusting. When cleaning, use only a damp rag and
non-abrasive dish soap. Do not use abrasive or chemical cleaners
because they may damage the nish. If the unit is used in a very
dusty location, use a vacuum brush to remove dust and other
foreign objects from the grills. Note that cigarette smoke could
yellow the discharge grill and that the best way to prevent it is to
clean the unit on a regular basis.
