Before installing and operating this product, the user and/or installer must read, understand and follow these instructions and keep them handy for future refer-
ence. 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).
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.
When cutting or drilling into a wall, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
Do not install this product on floors made of synthetic material such as, but not limited to, carpet.
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. The unit must cool down for few minutes since it will stay warm for some time after shut-down. If provided, use handles
when moving this heater.
This unit must be installed at least
12 inches (30,5 cm)
from objects or pieces of furniture such as, but not limited to, pillows, blankets, towels, beds,
laundry baskets, clothing, papers, curtains, etc. 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 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 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, 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 discoloration (yellow). It may cause a fire hazard if not installed and main-
tained 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 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)
