INSSEFU0413

The “SEF’’ series furnace has three operating modes (see table below).

N.B. It is important to put the Power mode control switch to “HIGH” during the coldest months or when a thermostat with outdoor 

sensor or a 2-stage thermostat is used. Moreover, you must ask your installer to show you the locations of the switches and 

disconnects. You must be able to quickly identify them in case of an emergency.

the 2.5 kw switch 

is ON, even though 

the continuous fan 

switch is OFF.

N.B. In order for the warranty to be valid, the unit must be 

cleaned regularly.

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. Do not use abrasive or chemical 

cleaners because they may damage the finish. 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.

Do not use cleaning products identified with these symbols:  

N.B. 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.

Make sure the unit is appropriate for the intended use (if needed, refer to the product catalog or a representative).
If the unit’s capacity is insufficient for the size of the house, it will be in operation continuously, and may become prematurely defective.

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 will 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 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 cutting a piece of steel for the installation of the return duct, be careful not to damage the electrical wiring of the unit.
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 stays warm for some time after shut-down).
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, 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 and cleaning products.
Some areas are dustier than others. Thus, it is the user’s responsibility to evaluate if the

 filter must be changed

 based on the amount of dirt accumulated on it. 

Accumulated dirt can lead to a component malfunction or discoloration (yellowing). It may cause a fire hazard if not installed and maintained in accordance 

with these instructions.
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/fuse and call a certified repair centre. (refer to the lImITeD wArrANTy).
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.

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.
