ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

CONVECTAIR recommends that the heater be installed by a qualified electrician and in

accordance with national and local codes.

A standard rectangular junction box must be installed in the wall, prior to electrical hookup.

The box must be of appropriate size to receive the necessary electrical connections and the

7 cm x 11,5 cm (2 3/4 in. x 4 in.) cover that is supplied with the heater.

CAUTION This heater must be connected to a 220-240 Volt (60 cycles) circuit.

1- Connect the ground wire (C) to the green conductor (G) from the heater (see Fig. C).

2- Connect the two line wires to the red (R) and black (B) conductors from the heater.

3- The purple conductor with a plastic seal (PW) is only to be used when connecting the hea-

ter to a central CONVECTAIR Programmer (for more informations, contact CONVECTAIR by

calling1 800 463-6487 or online at www.convectair.com).

4- Carefully place all conductors in the wall junction box.

5- Position the heater in front of the bracket and insert the bracket tabs into the back panel

of the heater.

6- Slowly swing the heater towards the wall until it locks into position on the bracket.

7- Tighten the bracket locking knob (Fig. B page 6).

CAUTION

To prevent short circuits and electrical shocks, turn the power off at the main panel before installing or repairing

the heater. If the power cord of the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by CONVECTAIR or an approved

service depot to avoid any danger

MODES OVERVIEW

Your Impresario towel dryer has three different operating modes:

MODE 1 : Radiant heat only

Controlled by the thermostat.

MODE 2 : Full power, radiant and fan-forced heat

Radiant heat controlled by the thermostat and fan-forced heat controlled by timer.

MODE 3 : Summer towel-drying

Fan-forced ambiant air controlled by timer.

Throughout the heating season, your CONVECTAIR heater stays warm and maintains a constant temperature

in the room.

During cold spells, it is normal for the heater to become hotter. Young children should be

cautioned about this and be supervised when they are in the heater vicinity.

Page 10

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the On/Stanby switch to I (“B” page 9 Fig. D) and select on the Heat/Ambient

air selector (“A” page 9 Fig. D).

2. Briefly press the Timer knob (“D” page Fig. E). The screen displays : 20 min (factory setting),

the timer starts and the heater goes in fan-forced mode. To change the timer duration (adjus-

table from 0 to 120 min.), turn the timer knob right or left to get the desired duration. To save

the desired timer duration, press the timer and hold for 3 or 4 seconds until the display flashes.

This timer setting will appear the next time the timer is started.

3. The timer will stop automatically at the end of the set timer duration. It can also be stopped

at any time by briefly pressing the timer knob.

1. Place the On/Stanby switch to I (“B” page 9 Fig. D) and select on the Heat/Ambient

air selector (“A” page 9 Fig. D).

2. Start the timer for the desired duration.

1. Place the On/Stanby switch to I (“B” page 9 Fig. D).

2. Close all doors to the room where the heater is located and turn the temperature

adjustment knob (“F” page 9 Fig. E) to MAX (Fig. 4).

3. Wait until the room reaches the desired comfort level, then slowly turn back the temperature

setting knob (Fig. 5) until the Heat indicator light (“G” page 9 Fig. E) turns off.

4. Turn the temperature knob back up VERY SLOWLY (Fig.6) until the Heating indicator (“G”

page 9 Fig. E) turns back on. The temperature is now set.

Clean the filter periodically

without waiting for the blocked

Step 2

Step 3

The fan-forced heating element is equiped with a lint filter. This filter can be removed for

periodic cleaning. If the filter is blocked, the blocked-filter indicator (“E” page 9 Fig. E) will turn

on and the fan will stop. For better performance, clean the filter regularly.

Follow the steps in the following figure to remove the filter.

To restart the heater, the heater needs to be in Standby mode for at least 3 minutes before

putting back the On/Stanby switch (“B” page 9 Fig. D) to I.

NOTE :

Under normal operation, it is normal for the Heating Indicator light (“G” page 9 Fig. E) to turn

on and off every 80 seconds or so. This cycling allows the thermostat to constantly adjust the

heat output to maintain a very precise temperature control in the room.

Turn the temperature control knob (“F” page 9 Fig. E) counter clockwise to the snow flake sym-

bol. This setting will maintain a minimum temperature of 5 to 7 °C (40 to 45 °F).

MAINTENANCE AND ADVICE

To keep your CONVECTAIR unit clean, regular maintenance is suggested. To remove dust, use

a soft cloth. To remove a stain, use a damp cloth.

NEVER USE ABRASIVE OR ACETONE-BASED PRODUCTS TO CLEAN YOUR HEATER AS

THIS MAY DETERIORATE THE EPOXY FINISH.

ANY REPAIR ON YOUR CONVECTAIR HEATER SHOULD ONLY BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN, AND ONLY AFTER THE

HEATER HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED.

Operation and maintenance tips

Your CONVECTAIR heater will become hot when in use. Caution is advised when

young children are present.

Do not insert small objects in the heater, this could cause an electrical short circuit, fire

or damage to the inner components.

Any use or modifications not approved by CONVECTAIR may cause electrical short

circuits, fire or injuries to the users.

In certain cases, it is possible for yellowing of the surface to occur over time. This is not

due to a manufacturing defect. This is caused by surrounding air, which may contain

smoke or dust, being heated and circulated through the heater.

Prevention : it is suggested that surfaces be frequently cleaned especially with units

installed in locations where cigarette smoke is present or in the kitchen.

Never use this heater during construction work or other activities that gene-

rate a lot of dust.

Note : The first time your CONVECTAIR heater is used, a light smoke could be re-

leased. This is normal and should disappear after about 2 to 3 minutes.

Page 13

TROUBLESHOOTING

This heater is equipped with separate overheat controls for the radiant panel and for the

fan-forced heat. In case of a malfunction of the unit (blocked air output or intake, for

example) the heater will stop heating automatically. After correcting the malfunction the

heater can be reset.

To reset the heater :

- For the radiant heat element: Check that the front panel, top and bottom of the heater are free of

obstruction. Once the obstruction is removed and the heater cools down, the overheat control will reset

automatically.

- For the fan-forced heat: Turn the heater Off. Check that the lower back inlet and the lower front outlet

are free of obstruction. Check and clean the lint filter. Wait 5 minutes and turn the heater back on.
