n.B. Cut off power supply at circuit breaker/fuse before proceeding to the installation and wiring connections. this product must be connected by a certified electrician, according to
the electrical and building codes effective in your region. Consult the wiring plan found on the unit.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of the heater. Do not mount in contact with combustible material. Do not mount in close proximity to another
unit.
Keep the front and upper sides of the unit at least 3 feet (91 cm) from any adjacent surfaces. Moreover, make sure objects or pieces of furniture such as, but not limited to, blankets, towels, beds, laundry baskets,
clothing, papers, electric wires and other flammable items, do not come into contact with the unit and keep them at least 3 feet (91 cm) from the unit. Failure to comply with this warning could lead to a fire. Some
materials are more heat-sensitive than others, so make sure those near the unit can withstand heat.
INSTALLATION METHOD A - SURFACE INSTALLATION ON A WALL BRACKET
Cut off power supply at circuit breaker/fuse before proceeding to the installation
Using a screwdriver, remove the metal bracket located at the back of the unit by applying pressure on the top of the bracket and
pushing it backward (the bracket is a little tight; this is normal) (see figure A-1).
To install the unit, use the "Installation method A" reference point of this template to mark the wall (see figure A-2). Install the
wall bracket using four (4) screws (see figure A-3). Using the "Installation method A & B connector" reference point located at the
bottom of the template, mark the wall, then drill a 1-inch (2.5 cm) diameter opening with a drill (see figure A-4). This opening will
allow you to run the power cable coming from the electrical panel.
Because the convector will be installed on a wall surface, we recommend you to replace the connection plate located at the
bottom of the unit by the supplied plate inside the plastic bag (it is longer, it is painted the same colour as the heater and it can
also be used as a wire cover). Position the plastic cable clamp on the plate and insert the power cable. Use wire connectors to
safely connect the unit wires to the power cable wires. Use the green screw located at the bottom of the junction box to secure
the power cable ground wire (bare wire) (see figure A-5).
Install the unit on the wall bracket. First, align the lower hooks of the wall bracket with the unit's matching openings and push
towards the wall to lock the unit into position on the wall bracket (see figure A-6). Turn on power supply at circuit breaker or replace
the fuse and check if the unit is operating properly.
INSTALLATION METHOD B - WALL SURFACE INSTALLATION
Cut off power supply at circuit breaker/fuse before proceeding to the installation
The rear wall bracket will not be used, therefore you will have to remove it from the unit. Using a screwdriver, remove the metal
bracket located at the back of the unit by applying pressure to its top and pushing it backward (the bracket is a little tight; this is
normal) (see figure B-1).
Remove the front cover to screw the unit flat against the wall. Remove the two (2) control knobs (see figure B-2) and the two (2)
screws at the base of the unit. First, remove the lower cover (see figure B-3), then remove the top grille (see figure B-4).
To install the unit, use this template and follow the "Installation method B" reference points (see figure B-5). Insert the four (4)
corresponding screws without tightening it. Using a drill, drill a 1-inch (2.5 cm) diameter hole at the bottom right of the unit using
the "Installation method A & B connector" reference points on the template as a guide (see figure B-6). This opening will allow you
to run the electrical cable from the power supply panel.
Remove the connection plate and insert the plastic cable clamp in the provided opening. Run the power cable through the cable
clamp. Use wire connectors to secure the power cable wires to the unit wires. Use the green screw located at the bottom of the
junction box to secure the power cable ground wire (bare wire). Fasten the connection plate securely to the unit (see figure B-7).
Mount the unit to the wall using the four (4) previously inserted screws and tighten it (see figures B-8 and B-9). Reinstall the top
grille onto the unit (see figure B-10) and install the lower cover starting from the top and moving it downward (see figure B-11).
Secure the cover at the bottom using the two (2) provided screws. The two (2) screw holes are not completely centered to ensure
that the cover is firmly fastened to the unit; this is normal. Turn on power supply at circuit breaker or replace the fuse and check
if the unit is operating properly.
INSTALLATION METHOD C - BUILT-IN WALL INSTALLATION
Cut off power supply at circuit breaker/fuse before proceeding to the installation
The rear wall bracket will not be used, therefore you will have to remove it from the unit. Using a screwdriver, remove the metal
bracket located at the back of the unit by applying pressure to the top of the bracket and pushing it backward (the bracket is a little
tight; this is normal) (see figure C-1).
For built-in installation, make sure the opening you have cut out is located between two studs (2 x 3 or 2 x 4). Use a stud-finder
to locate them. You will have to screw the unit into the wall studs or use drywall anchors. Remove the two (2) control knobs (see
figure C-2) and the two (2) screws located at the base of the unit. Remove the lower cover (see figure C-3), then remove the
top grille (see figure C-4). To ensure the unit's proper position, use this template and follow the "Installation method C" reference
points (see figure C-5). Insert the plastic cable clamp into the knock-out located under the unit. Run the power cable through the
cable clamp (see figures C-6 & C-7). Use wire connectors to secure the power cable wires to the unit wires. Use the green screw
located at the bottom of the junction box to secure the power cable ground wire (bare wire).
Install the unit (the edge must be flushed against the wall) (see figure C-8) and secure the four (4) corners with screws (see figure
C-9). If it doesn't seem secure enough, you may use the two (2) other screw holes located midway on each side of the unit (see
figure C-10). Reinstall the top grille onto the unit (see figure C-11) and reinstall the front cover starting from the top and moving it
downward (see figure C-12). Secure the cover at the bottom using the two (2) provided screws. The two (2) screw holes are not
completely centered to ensure that the cover is firmly fastened to the unit; this is normal. Turn on power supply at circuit breaker
or replace the fuse and check to see if the unit is operating properly.

CAUTION – High temperature; risk of fire. Keep electrical cords, drapery, furnishings, and other combustibles at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the heater and away from
the side and rear.
Do not install on a wall behind a door.
Never block air vents (with objects or other items). You risk damaging the heater and the obstruction could lead to electric shock or overheating, which could result in a fire.
Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any air vent as this may cause electric shocks, fires, or damages to the unit.
This unit has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas containing flammable liquids or combustible materials such as, but not limited to, gasoline and paint.
Some areas are dustier than others. Thus, it is the user's responsibility to evaluate if the unit must be cleaned 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 fire 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 qualified electrician or a certified repair centre examine the unit in order to make sure it is not damaged.
