Before installing and using this product, you must read and
understand these instructions and keep them for future refer-
ence. If the installer and the user do not follow these instruc-
tions, the manufacturer cannot be held liable in any way and
the warranty will be null and void.
The following instructions must be adhered to in order to
avoid personal injuries or property damages, serious injuries
and potentially fatal electric shocks.

and the CSA certication could be void.
INTENDED USE
For indoor installation only.
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 ft3
(0.03 m3). This corresponds to 10 W per ft2(0.09 m²) based on
a standard ceiling height of 8 ft (2.44 m). The recommended
capacity is usually sucient for normal heating needs. Please
note that the insulation quality of walls and windows are some
of the factors that inuence heat losses, which modify the
required capacity to heat a room. If needed, speak with a spe-
cialist (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 insucient for the size of the room, it
will be in operation continuously, and may become defective
earlier and turn yellow.
POSITION
Do not install the unit where objects or pieces of furniture
could be heat damaged.
Respect the following distances and positions: This unit must
be installed at least 6 in. (15 cm) from any adjacent surfaces

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 36 in.
(90 cm) from the unit. 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.
This unit has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. It is not
designed to be used or stored in wet areas or areas contain-
ing ammable liquids, combustible materials or corrosive,
abrasive, chemical, explosive and ammable substances such

BODILY INJURY AND DAMAGE
This product must be installed by a qualied person and con-
nected by a certied electrician, according to the electrical
and building codes eective in your region.
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 indi-
cated on the unit’s nameplate.
This unit must be grounded.
Switch o the power at the circuit breaker or fuse before
installing, repairing and cleaning the unit.
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 o when standing in water or if

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.
Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any air vent as
this may cause electric shocks, res or damages to the unit.
MAINTENANCE
Some areas are dustier than others. Thus, it is the user’s res-
ponsibility to evaluate if the unit must be cleaned based on
the amount of dirt accumulated on and inside air vents. Ac-
cumulated 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 certied 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 o
power supply at circuit breaker or fuse and have it repaired at
a certied repair centre. (Refer to the limited warranty.)
