User Manual for Stelpro Mirage Convector

Quick guide from the manual

The Stelpro Mirage Convector is designed for residential heating. This manual covers the installation and operation of the MIR series. Important: This unit must be installed by a certified electrician in accordance with local electrical and building codes. Ensure the supply voltage matches the nameplate. The unit requires specific clearances to prevent overheating and fire hazards.

Installation

Before installing, ensure the power is turned off at the circuit breaker. The unit must be mounted on a flat wall surface.

• Clearances: Maintain at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) in front, 6 inches (15.2 cm) on each side, and 4 inches (10.2 cm) from the floor.
• Wall Bracket: Remove the bracket from the unit by pressing the springs with a screwdriver. Use the bracket as a template to mark screw positions on the wall, ensuring it is level. Secure the bracket using appropriate anchors for your wall type.
• Wiring: Remove the junction box cover. Connect the ground wire to the green wire using the provided twist-on connectors. Connect the power supply wires to the unit wires using the remaining connectors. Ensure all connections are secure and place wires inside the junction box.
• Mounting: Insert the unit into the lower hooks of the wall bracket, tilt the top of the unit, and snap it into the top hooks. Push firmly to ensure it is seated.

Operation

Depending on the model, the convector uses either a built-in electronic thermostat or a wall-mounted thermostat.

Built-in Thermostat Modes

• Day Mode: Indicated by a sun icon. Use the top/bottom buttons to set the desired temperature.
• Night Mode: Indicated by a moon icon. Allows for energy-saving temperature settings during the night or absences.
• Automatic Mode: Switches between Day and Night modes based on programmed duration.
• Antifreeze Protection: Set temperature between 3°C and 5°C to prevent freezing.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning is essential to prevent yellowing and component failure. Turn off the power at the circuit breaker before cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth to remove dust. Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaning agents, chlorine, or metal brushes. If the unit is in a dusty area, use a vacuum cleaner with a dusting brush.

Troubleshooting

If the unit does not start, check the circuit breaker, thermal protection, or electrical connections. If the unit runs continuously, check the thermostat settings. If the housing is extremely hot, ensure air inlets and outlets are not blocked.
