IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of re, electric shock and
injury to persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using this heater.
2. This heater contains hot parts that generate electric arcs
or sparks. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot
surfaces. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint, or
ammable liquids are used or stored.
3. Extreme caution is necessary when the heater is used by
or near a child or invalids and whenever the heater is left
operating and unattended.
4. Do not operate the heater after it malfunctions. Disconnect
power at service panel and have heater inspected by a
reputable electrician before reusing.
5. Do not use outdoors.
6. To disconnect heater, turn controls off, and turn off power to
heater circuit at main disconnect panel.
7. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation
or exhaust opening in any manner.
8. To prevent a possible re, do not block air intakes or exhaust
in any manner.
9. A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not
use it in areas where gasoline, paint or ammable vapors or
liquids are used or stored. Store it in a dry place when not
using it.
10. Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other
use not recommended by the manufacturer could cause re,
electric shock or serious injury to persons.
11. Protect the heater with the appropriate circuit breaker or fuse,
in accordance with the nameplate.
12. Make sure the line voltage (volts) is consistent with the one
indicated on the unit’s nameplate.
13. This unit must be grounded.
14. This heater must be installed by a qualied person and
connected by a certied electrician in accordance with the
electrical and building codes in effect in your area.
15. Observe the distances and positions mentioned in the
installation section of this guide.
16. All units must be installed at a minimum height of 6 ft (1.83m)
from the oor and a minimum distance of 6 in. (15 cm) from
vertical surfaces or walls (see installation section). Do not
allow combustible materials to come into contact with the
unit and keep them at least 24 in. (61 cm) from it, as they may
ignite more easily than adjacent surfaces. Furthermore, certain
materials are more sensitive to heat than others, you must
assure that these materials are located at a proper proximity
where they can handle the heat released.
17. If the installer or user modies the heater, they will be held
responsible for any damage resulting from this modication,
and the product certication may be voided.
18. This heater must not come into contact with water and must
be protected from splashes. Do not use it if any part has been
submerged.
19. When attaching the heater, make sure that the anchor can
support the total weight of the unit plus the weight of the
mounting brackets.
20. When cutting or drilling into a ceiling to install the heater,
make sure not to damage electrical wiring and other hidden
utilities.
21. When starting up the heater for the rst time or after a long
period, it is normal that it produces some temporary odours
and whitish smoke.
Recommended heating capacity: 1.25 W/cubic foot (0.03 m³).
This is equivalent to 10 W/square foot (0.09 m²) for a standard
ceiling height of 8 feet (2.44 m). The recommended power is
usually sufcient for normal heating needs. Please note that
the quality of insulation of walls and windows is a factor that
inuences heat loss and impacts the power required to heat
a room. If necessary, refer to a specialist (in industrial and
commercial buildings) who can calculate these heat losses and
determine the optimal power required or consult the Stelpro
website. If the power of the unit is insufcient for the size of the
room, it will run continuously, causing it to age prematurely.
Note: When part of the product's technical specications need
to be modied to improve handling or other functions, priority is
given to the product’s technical characteristics. In this case, the
instructions may not fully correspond to all the product functions
presented. Therefore, the product and its packaging, as well as
its name and illustration, may differ from those presented in this
manual.
