STELPRO SCAOC90SW Architectural Baseboard
WARNING
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 qualified person and
connected by a certified 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).
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 sufficient for
normal heating needs. Please note that the insulation quality of walls and
windows are some of the factors that influence 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 to 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. Do not install the unit where
objects or pieces of furniture could be heat damaged. If the unit’s capacity
is insufficient for the size of the room, it will be in operation
continuously, and may become defective earlier and turn yellow. Respect
distances and positions indicated in the installation section. If the
installer or user modifies the unit, they will be held responsible for any
damage resulting from this modification, and the CSA certification 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.
When starting up the unit for the first 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).
This unit must be installed at least 6 inches (15.2 cm) from any adjacent
surfaces. Leave at least 3 inches (7.5 cm) between the front of the unit and
objects such as, but not limited to, beds, tables, armchairs, curtains, etc.
Leave at least 6 inches (15 cm) of space between the top of the unit and
objects such as, but not limited to furniture, pillows, curtains, blankets,
towels, laundry baskets, clothing, papers, etc. Furthermore, certain materials
are more sensitive to heat than others, you must assure that these materials
are located at a proper proximity where they can handle the heat released.
Do not install on a wall behind a door. Never block air vents. This
obstruction could lead to overheating, which could result in a fire. Do not
insert or allow foreign objects to enter any air vent as this may cause
electric shocks, a fire 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 flammable liquids, combustible materials or corrosive,
abrasive, chemical, explosive and flammable substances such as, but not
limited to, gasoline, paint, chlorine, sawdust and cleaning products. 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 give a yellowish colour to unit. Failure to install and maintain unit in
accordance with these instructions poses a fire hasard. Thermal protection
activation indicates that the unit has been subjected to abnormal operating
conditions. If the thermal protection remains activated or activates and
deactivates repeatedly, it is recommended that a qualified electrician or a
certified repair centre examine the unit in order to make sure it is not
damaged. (Refer to the limited warranty.) If the unit is damaged or defective,
cut off power supply at circuit breaker and call a certified repair centre.
(Refer to the limited warranty) If the unit is damaged or defective, cut off
power supply at circuit breaker and call a certified repair centre. (Refer to
the limited warranty.)
Note:
When a part of the product specification must be changed to improve
operability or other functions, priority is given to the product specification
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.

MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
MAINTENANCE
N.B. In order for the warranty to be valid, the unit must be cleaned
regularly.
WARNING:
if the unit is equipped with a circuit breaker, the power supply at the
main breaker must be turned off before removing the cover of the junction box
or to open or close the unit’s circuit breaker.
Cut off power supply at circuit breaker/fuse before cleaning the unit. Use a
soft rag for dusting. When cleaning, use only a damp rag and non-abrasive dish
soap. If you use a cleaning product, always wipe the product off properly to
avoid the discoloration of the unit. Do not use abrasive or chemical cleaners
be-cause they may damage the finishing. If the unit is used in a very dusty
location, use a vacuum brush to remove dust and other foreign objects from the
grilles.
Note
that cigarette smoke could yellow the discharge grille and that the best
way to prevent it is to clean the unit on a regular basis.
- Do not use cleaning products identified with these symbols:
N.B. Note
that there is electrical current linked to the unit even if the thermostat is
set off. This means that there is a risk of electric shock as long as the unit
is energized.
