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 qualified person and connected by a certified electrician, according to the electrical and building codes 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.
Make sure that all screws and electrical terminal connections are tightly secured before operating the unit in case they would have loosened during transportation.
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.

Recommended heating capacity:
1,25 W/cubic foot (0.03 m³).
It corresponds to 10 W/square foot (0.09 m²) based on a standard ceiling height of 8 feet (2.44 m). The recommended capacity is usually sufficient for
normal heating needs. Please note that the insulation quality of walls and windows are some of the factors that influence 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).
Do not install the unit where objects or pieces of furniture could be heat damaged.
If the unit capacity is insufficient for the size of the room, it will be in operation continuously, and may become defective earlier and turn yellow.
Respect distances and positions indicated in the installation section
