WARNING
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
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).
If provided, use handles when moving this heater.
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 use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may
become blocked.
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.)
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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
N.B. The unit should be cleaned at least once a year. All other servicing is
to be done by qualified service personnel. This unit must be cleaned regularly
In order for the warranty to be valid. Make sure the power has been turned off
at the circuit breaker panel and that the heating element has cooled before
cleaning the unit or before removing grill for cleaning and lubrication.
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.
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 because 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.
Don’t forget to replace front grille (with the screws that were removed) if it
was removed for cleaning.
Restore the power when cleaning or lubrication work is complete.
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.
