IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
and injury to person, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using this heater.
2. Heater and controls should be installed by a qualified
contractor. Wiring procedures and connections should
be in accordance with the National Electric Code (CEC &
NEC) and local codes.
3. A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do
not use it in areas where gasoline, paint or flammable
liquids are used or stored.
4. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let
bare skin touch hot surfaces. Keep combustible materials
such as: furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and
curtains away from heater.
5. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or
exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces like a
bed where openings may become blocked.
6. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation
or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or
fire, or damage the heater.
7. Do not install these heaters against combustible, low
density cellulose fibre surfaces or vinyl wall paper.
8. Do not locate these heaters below any electrical
convenience receptacles.
9. Check nameplate ratings to be sure the heater voltage is
the same as the service supply. (The nameplate is located
below the right side of the heating element.)
10. HIGH TEMPERATURES: Keep electrical cords, furniture,
draperies or any other blocking material away from the
heater. See Installation Section for specific distances.

Installation Instructions
Placement of the Smart Baseboard
Smart Baseboards are high performance heaters designed
to operate at higher outlet temperatures than conventional
baseboard heaters. They are to be mounted with the included
optimizer kit onto drywall, plaster, wood or concrete walls.
! NOTE: If the unit is being installed on a newly constructed
wall, ensure that all products that have been applied are
fully cured according to manufacturer's instructions, before
operating the unit.
!
NOTE: Failure to install optimizer kit will increase the wall
temperature and may discolor or deform some materials
(e.g. vinyl or plastic).
Recommendations for Locating Drapes and
Furniture near Heater (Figure 1)
!
NOTE: Any objects or materials that are located within the
distances outlined below should not discolor, nor distort
dimensionally (stretch or shrink) upon extended exposure (
up to 1000 hrs.) to temperatures of 200º F (93º C).
For most satisfactory operation of the heaters and minimum
effect on drapes, furniture and objects in close proximity, the
following recommendations should be observed:
1. Full Length Drapes: Hang drapes so there is at least
1.5"(3.8 cm) between the top of the drapes and the ceiling,
at least 1.5" (3.8 cm) between the bottom of the drapes and
the finished floor covering (such as carpet, if used) AND at
least 3" (7.6 cm) between the front vertical surface of the
heater and the nearest fold of the drapes (opened drape).
(Figure 1A)
2. Shorter Length Drapes: Hang drapes so there is at least
1.5" (3.8 cm) between the top of the drapes and the ceiling,
and at least 6" (15.2 cm), preferably more, between the
bottom of the drapes and the top horizontal surface of the
heater. (Figure 1B)
3. Furniture: Place furniture no closer than 3" (7.62 cm) from
the front of the Smart Baseboard. (Figure 1D)
4. Overhanging Solid Objects (Except Plastic): Position
Smart baseboard so there is at least 14" (35.6 cm) between
the top of the heater and any solid object that obstructs or
