RESTARTING THE FAN HEATER AFTER THE THERMAL PROTECTION IS TRIGGERED
In the event of overheating, the unit’s thermal protection will
trigger to prevent damage. When this happens, heating is
switched o, but ventilation continues to evacuate heat, which
is considered ventilation without heat. Once the thermal pro-
tection is triggered, you must restart the fan heater to resume
normal operation:
NOTE: If the fan heater has a built-in thermostat, the icon
will appear on the display.
With a wall thermostat
1. Switch o the power supply to the fan heater directly at
the electrical panel or lower the setpoint temperature suf-
ciently to stop the heating demand.
2. Find the cause of the overheating and eliminate it. For
instance, make sure no objects are blocking the air inlets
and outlets and that they are clean.
3. Wait 10 minutes, then turn the power back on or turn up
the setpoint temperature.
With a built-in thermostat
When the thermal protection is triggered, the fan heater auto-
matically makes up to three restart attempts.
1. Find the cause of the overheating and eliminate it. For
instance, make sure no objects are blocking the air inlets
and outlets and that they are clean. If the cause of the
overheating is removed during automatic restarts, the unit
will start heating again.
2. If, after its three restart attempts, the fan heater does
not start heating again, press any of the three buttons to
manually restart it.
If you do not identify the cause of the overheating or if the fan
heater doesn’t begin heating again after a restart, it means an
internal component may be defective, or an additional thermal
protection device has been triggered. In this case, contact
Stelpro's customer service department.
WARNING: Cut off the power at the breaker or fuse
before cleaning the unit. High voltage and the risk
of electric shock are present in the unit even if the
thermostat is set to off. Therefore, you can receive
anelectrical shock as long as the unit is under power.
Over time, cigarette smoke may cause the outlet grill to yel-
low. The best way to prevent yellowing is to clean the unit
regularly.
Dust the front panel with a soft cloth and clean it with a damp
cloth only. If you use cleaning products, they could cause the
heater to yellow.
If the unit is installed in a very dusty location, use the dust
brush of a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and other foreign
objects.
When maintaining the product, never use:
• A brush or metal scrubbing pad
• Chlorine
• Abrasive cleaning products
• Hydrochloric acid-based products such as bleach
• Any other cleaning products that bear the following
symbols:
