Before installing and operating this product, the user and/or installer must read, understand and follow these instructions and keep them
handy for future reference. If these instructions are not followed, the warranty will be considered null and void and the manufacturer
deems no further responsibility for this product.
This product must be installed by a qualied person and connected by a , according to the 
 effective in your region.
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 (volt) is consistent with that indicated on the unit’s nameplate.
This unit .
Switch off the power at the circuit breaker/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). Use this heater only as described in this
manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause re, electric shock, or injury to persons. Do not use outdoors.

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, refer to a specialist (industrial and commercial buildings) who will be able to calculate these heat losses and optimize the
required capacity or consult the “Online heating calculation” section of the Stelpro Design web site (residential buildings). To heat a large room and to increase
your comfort, it is recommended to install several units instead of one. For example, 2 X 1000 W rather than 1 X 2000 W.
Do not install the unit where objects or pieces of furniture could be heat damaged.
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.

If the installer or the user modies the unit, he 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 such as, but not limited to, showers, bathtubs, sinks, toilets, etc. and must be protected from splashes.
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 mounting the unit, make sure that the anchorage used can support the total weight of the unit with the mounting brackets.
When cutting or drilling into a wall, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
When starting up the unit for the rst time or after a long period, it is normal that it produces some temporary odours and whitish smoke.
Because this unit is hot when in use, it may pose risks even in normal operation. Therefore, be  and  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.
The bottom of this unit must be installed at least  from the oor and the whole unit must be installed at least from
walls. However, make sure objects or pieces of furniture such as, but not limited to, pillows, bedding, blankets, towels, beds, laundry baskets, clothing, papers,
curtains, etc., do not come into contact with the unit and keep them at least from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides,
since they are more ammable than walls and oors. Failure to comply with this warning could lead to a re. Some materials are more heat-sensitive than others,
so make sure those near the unit can withstand heat.
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, gasoline, paint, chlorine, sawdust and cleaning
products.
Some areas are dustier than others. Thus, it is the user’s responsibility to evaluate if the unit based on the amount of dirt accumulated on
and inside air vents. Accumulated dirt can lead to a component malfunction or discoloration (yellow). It may cause a re hazard if not installed and maintained in
accordance with these instructions.
The thermal protection activation indicates that the unit has been subjected to abnormal operating conditions. If the thermal protection remains activated or
activates and deactivates repeatedly, 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)
Before unplugging the unit, all controls must be in the “OFF” position and the current from the main breaker panel should be cut. (The general switch may be
used also, if included.)
If the unit is damaged or defective, discontinue use, cut off power supply at circuit breaker and contact a certied electrician or certied repair centre. (Refer to
the limited warranty)
If you set the thermostat to the lowest temperature set point, the Frost free warning mode will be activated since there is no OFF position.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
: When a part of the product specication must be changed to improve operability or other functions, priority is given to the product specication itself. In such
instances, the instruction manual may not entirely match all the functions of the actual product. Therefore, the actual product and packaging, as well as the name
and illustration, may differ from the manual.

Although stainless steel is by its very nature corrosion resistant, its nish is not foolproof. The key to maintaining a nice stainless steel nish is preventative cleaning.
Clean the metal when it is dirty; do not wait until a full cleaning is required. Since the acidity level and chlorine content of regular cleaning agents vary greatly, it is
highly recommended to thoroughly rinse the surface with clean water after cleaning. Alternatively, you may use a stainless steel cleaner or clean water and dish
soap. Always follow polish lines.

Cut off power supply at circuit breaker/fuse before cleaning this heater. Use a soft rag for dusting. When cleaning, use only a damp rag and non-abrasive dish soap.
Do not use abrasive or chemical cleaners because they may damage the nishing. If the unit is used in a very dusty location, use a vacuum brush to remove dust
and other foreign objects from the grilles. Note that cigarette smoke could yellow the discharge grille and that the best way to prevent it is to clean the unit on a
regular basis.

This warranty is exclusive and in lieu of all other representations and warranties (except of title), expressed or implied, and Stelpro expressly disclaims and
excludes any implied warranty of merchantability or implied warranty of tness for a particular purpose.
Stelpro’s liability with respect to products is limited as provided above. Stelpro shall not be subject to any other obligations or liabilities whatsoever,
whether based on contract, tort or other theories of law, with respect to goods or services furnished by it, or any undertakings, acts or omissions relating

or punitive damages, damages for lost prots, loss of use of equipment, cost of capital, cost of substitute products, facilities or services, shutdowns,
slowdowns, or for other types of economic loss or for claims of a dealer’s customers or any third party for such damages. Stelpro specically disclaims all
consequential, incidental and contingent damages whatsoever.
This warranty does not cover any damages or failures resulting from: 1) a faulty installation or improper storage; 2) an abusive or abnormal use, lack of
maintenance, improper maintenance (other than that prescribed by Stelpro) or a use other than that for which the unit was designed; 3) a natural disaster
or an event out of Stelpro’s control, including, but not limited to, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, terrorist attacks, wars, overvoltage, ooding, water

or owner of the product. Moreover, it does not cover the cost of disconnection, transport, and installation.
The warranty is limited to the repair or the replacement of the unit or the refund of its purchase price, at the . Any parts replaced or

by excessive heat, chemical cleaning products and abrasive agents. It does not cover any damage that occurred during the shipping.
Some states and provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages and some of them do not allow limitations on
