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 surfac-
es. 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 repu-
table 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 (volt) 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 con-
nected by a certied electrician in accordance with the electri-
cal and building codes in effect in your area.
15. Observe the distances and positions mentioned in the installa-
tion section of this guide.
16. All units must be installed at a minimum height of 8 ft (2.44m)
from the oor and a minimum distance of 12 in. (30cm) 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. CAUTION - High temperature, keep electrical cords, drapery,
and other furnishings at least 3 ft (0.9 m.) from the front of the
heater and away from the side and rear.
18. If the installer or user modies the heater, they will be held
responsible for any damage resulting from this modication,
and the UL certication may be voided.
19. 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.
20. When attaching the heater, make sure that the anchor can
support the total weight of the unit plus the weight of the
mounting brackets.
21. When cutting or drilling into a ceiling to install the heater,
make sure not to damage electrical wiring and other hidden
utilities.
22. 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/ft³ (0.03 m³). This is
equivalent to 10 W/ft² (0.09 m²) for a standard ceiling height of 8 ft
(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 special-
ist (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.
