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 (industrial and commercial buildings) 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 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 the user modifies the unit, he 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. Do not use it if any part has been immersed.
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 or a ceiling, 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 odors 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. The unit must cool down for a few minutes since it will stay warm for some time after shut-down.
This unit must be installed at least 6 inches (15.2 cm) from surrounding walls and 6 inches (15.2 cm) from the floor. The triple unit must be installed at least 12 inches (30.4 cm) from surrounding walls and 8 inches (20.32 cm) from the floor. However, make sure objects or pieces of furniture do not come into contact with the unit and keep them at least 24 inches (60 cm) from the unit since they are more flammable than walls and floors. Failure to comply with this warning could lead to a fire. Some materials are more heat-sensitive than others, so make sure those near the unit can withstand heat.
Do not install it on a wall behind a door.
Never block unit 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, fires, or damage 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 discoloration (yellow). It may cause a fire hazard 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. If the thermal protection remains activated or activates and deactivates repeatedly, it is recommended that a qualified electrician or a certified repair center 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 the power supply at the circuit breaker and call a certified repair center. (Refer to the limited warranty)
Make sure that all the electrical connections have been secured and made properly. Pull each wire to ensure it is not loose in the connector or the terminal board as this may cause a fire.
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 for the unit.

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.
