Operation

The Stelpro pulsair RWF0502W heater is controlled by an external wall thermostat (not included). Once installed and wired correctly, follow these steps:

1. Power On: Restore power to the heater circuit at the main electrical panel.
2. Thermostat Setting: Adjust the external thermostat to your desired temperature. The heater will activate when the room temperature falls below the set point.
3. Initial Operation: During the first few minutes of operation, the heater may emit a slight odor due to the burning off of manufacturing residues. This is normal and will dissipate quickly.
4. Temperature Range: The heater is designed to operate within a temperature range of 5°C (41°F) to 30°C (86°F).

For optimal performance, avoid placing furniture or other obstructions directly in front of the heater's air outlets.

  • Wipe the exterior of the heater with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Periodically vacuum the air intake and outlet grilles to remove dust and lint buildup.
• Inspection: Annually inspect the heater for any signs of damage, loose connections, or unusual wear. If any issues are found, contact a qualified electrician for repair.
