IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

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 and serious injuries, property damages 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 fire, 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 sufficient for normal heating needs. Please note that the insulation quality of walls and windows are some of the factors that influence heat loss, 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 “Tools/Heating Calculator” section of the Stelpro Design website (residential buildings).
Do not install the unit where objects or pieces of furniture could be damaged by heat.
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 (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 starting up the unit for the first time or after a long period, it is normal that it produce some temporary odours and a 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 touch hot surfaces with bare skin. Allow the unit to cool down for a few minutes since 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.
Make sure objects or pieces of furniture do not come into contact with the unit and keep them at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) from it. Failure to comply with this warning could result in a fire. Some materials are more heat- sensitive than others, so make sure those near the unit can withstand heat.
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 fire.
Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter the air vent as this may cause electric shocks, fires, 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.
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 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 certified electrician or certified 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 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 into the unit.
Do not use optional 0-100% AIR DAMPER with bottom air inlet.
Do not install air inlet to a heating or cooling system

Several airflow configurations are possible and adaptable on-the-spot
F = FRONT
T = TOP
B = BOTTOM

Remove the 2 screws on the middle panel, and the 2 screws in the grill.
Position the grill as you wish.

NOTE: Since the air exit grill is protected by another grill, it must be installed at the air exit.

WALL OR CEILLING INSTALLATION

For a ceilling installation you need 4 rods (1/2-13nc). The length of the rods depends on the height you want the model placed from the ceilling.
Stelpro recommands 8’ from the floor for units of 6000 W and less and 12’ for units of 8000 W and more. Units with BT and BF air inlets and outlets must be installed at least 8’ from the floor also (see previous page for modifications). See the diagram for the distance between fixing holes. For wall installation, 4 screws (3/8-16nc) are needed.

NOTE: A nut should be placed on the threaded rod behind the heater to lock the assembly in place.
