WARNING
Before installing and using this product, you must read and understand these instructions and keep them for future reference. If the installer and the user do not follow
these instructions, the manufacturer cannot be held liable in any way and the warranty will be null and void.
This product must be installed by a qualied person and connected by a certied electrician, according to the electrical and building codes effective
in your region.
For indoor installation only.
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 (volts) is consistent with that indicated on the unit’s nameplate.
This unit must be grounded.
Switch off the power at the circuit breaker or 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 per cubic foot (0.03 m³).
This corresponds to 10 W per square foot (0.09 m²) based on a standard ceiling height of 8 feet (2.44 m). The recommended capacity is usually sufcient
for normal heating needs. Please note that the insulation quality of walls and windows are some of the factors that inuence heat losses, which modify the required
capacity to heat a room. If needed, speak with a specialist (industrial and commercial buildings) who will be able to calculate these heat losses and optimize the
required capacity or consult the “Calculation Tools/Heating Calculator” section of the °STELPRO Design website.
If the unit capacity is insufcient for the size of the room, it will be in operation continuously, and may become defective earlier and turn yellow.
Do not install the unit where objects or pieces of furniture could be heat damaged.
Respect distances and positions indicated in the installation section of this guide.
If the installer or the user modies the unit, they will be held responsible for any damage resulting from this modication, and the CSA certication could be void.
This unit must not come into contact with a water source and must be protected from splashes (e.g., splashes from a sink or shower). 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 rst time or after a long period, it is normal that it produces some temporary odours.
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.
DANGER – high temperatures may be generated under certain abnormal conditions. Do not partially or fully cover or obstruct
the front of this heater.
This unit must be installed at least 6 inches (15 cm) from any adjacent surfaces and at least 6 inches (15 cm) from the oor. Make sure objects or pieces
of furniture such as, but not limited to, blankets, towels, beds, laundry baskets, clothing, papers, etc. do not come into contact with the unit, and keep them at least
12 inches (30.5 cm) from the unit. Some materials are more heat-sensitive than others, so make sure those near the unit can withstand heat. 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 re.
WARNING! NEVER POSITION TOWELS OR ANY OTHER TEXTILE FABRICS IN SUCH A WAY THAT THEY PARTIALLY OR
COMPLETELY OBSTRUCT THE PRODUCT. SUCH AN OBSTRUCTION WILL CAUSE THE UNIT TO OVERHEAT, WHICH MAY DAMAGE
THE UNIT OR CAUSE A FIRE.
Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any air vent as this may cause electric shocks, res 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 ammable liquids, combustible materials
or corrosive, abrasive, chemical, explosive and ammable substances such as, but not limited to, paint, gasoline, 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 the unit. Failure to install and maintain the unit in accordance with these
instructions poses a re hasard.
Thermal protection activation indicates that the unit has been subjected to abnormal operating conditions. If the thermal protection remains activated it is recommended
that a qualied electrician or a certied 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, discontinue use, cut off power supply at circuit breaker or fuse and have it repaired at a certied repair centre. (Refer to the limited
warranty.)
