CONVECTAIR Samba Installation And Operation Notice

CHARACTERISTICS

Your new Samba is a combined convection and fan-
forced heating unit. It is the perfect bathroom and
entryway heater thanks to its in-wall design. Samba
uses two elements: 1000 watts of silent convection
heat that maintains a constant temperature, and 1000
watts of fan-forced heat. Thanks to its electronic two-
stage integrated thermostat; it heats fast and
maintains the heat. Use it with a unit that is equipped
with an optional Convectair programmer (Pilot-wire
only) for maximum performance and efficiency.

PLANNING THE INSTALLATION

Caution: this unit must be connected to a 240 -
volt or 208 - volt ,60 Hz. CONVECTAIR
recommends that the Samba be installed by a
qualified electrician, in accordance with national
and local codes.
Note: If a programmer-equipped unit is intended to
control the Samba, a 3/12 or an FAS 105 2/18 may be
used in the cable installation that will allow the
connection of the control (purple) wire.
1. Determine the location where the Samba is
to be installed, ensure that there are no
restrictions to the minimum clearances
permitted (Fig. 1).
2. Ensure that there are no obstacles in the
proximity that may interfere with the air
circulation.
3. The electrical connection for the Samba must
be made in the Samba's junction box (Fig.1).

INSTALLATION

It is important to respect the clearances and
installation height for the Samba. The installation
height should be no less than 4" (10 cm) minimum
and side clearance is 3" (7.5 cm).
