Smart Baseboard

LPC Series

Placement of the Smart Baseboard

Smart Baseboards are high performance heaters designed 

to operate at higher outlet temperatures than conventional 

baseboard heaters. They are to be mounted with the included 

optimizer kit onto drywall, plaster, wood or concrete walls. 

!

 NOTE: If the unit is being installed on a newly constructed 

wall, ensure that all products that have been applied are 

fully cured according to manufacturer’s instructions, before 

operating the unit.

!

 NOTE: Failure to install optimizer kit will increase the wall 

temperature and may discolor or deform some materials 

(e.g. vinyl or plastic).

Recommendations for Locating Drapes and 

Furniture near Heater (Figure 1)

!

 NOTE: Any objects or materials that are located within the 

distances outlined below should not discolor, nor distort 

dimensionally (stretch or shrink) upon extended exposure ( 

up to 1000 hrs.) to temperatures of 200º F (93º C).

For most satisfactory operation of the heaters and minimum 

effect on drapes, furniture and objects in close proximity, the 

following recommendations should be observed: 

1. Full Length Drapes: Hang drapes so there is at least 

1.5"(3.8 cm) between the top of the drapes and the ceiling, 

at least 1.5" (3.8 cm) between the bottom of the drapes and 

the finished floor covering (such as carpet, if used) AND at 

least 3" (7.6 cm) between the front vertical surface of the 

heater and the nearest fold of the drapes (opened drape). 

(Figure 1A)

2. Shorter Length Drapes: Hang drapes so there is at least 

1.5" (3.8 cm) between the top of the drapes and the ceiling, 

and at least 6" (15.2 cm), preferably more, between the 

bottom of the drapes and the top horizontal surface of the 

heater. (Figure 1B)

3. Furniture: Place furniture no closer than 3" (7.62 cm) from 

the front of the Smart Baseboard. (Figure 1D)

4. Overhanging Solid Objects (Except Plastic): Position 

Smart baseboard so there is at least 14" (35.6 cm) between 

the top of the heater and any solid object that obstructs or 

    Installation Instructions

 IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should 

always  be  followed  to  reduce  the  risk  of  fire,  electric  shock 

and injury to person, including the following: 

1.  Read all instructions before using this heater.

2.  Heater  and  controls  should  be  installed  by  a  qualified 

contractor. Wiring procedures and connections should 

be in accordance with the National Electric Code (CEC & 

NEC) and local codes.

3.  A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do 

not  use  it  in  areas  where  gasoline,  paint  or  flammable 

liquids are used or stored.

4.  This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let 

bare skin touch hot surfaces. Keep combustible materials 

such as: furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and 

curtains away from heater.

5.  To  prevent  a  possible  fire,  do  not  block  air  intakes  or 

exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces like a 

bed where openings may become blocked.

6.  Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation 

or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or 

fire, or damage the heater.

7.  Do  not  install  these  heaters  against  combustible,  low 

density cellulose fibre surfaces or vinyl wall paper.

8.  Do  not  locate  these  heaters  below  any  electrical 

convenience receptacles.

9.  Check nameplate ratings to be sure the heater voltage is 

the same as the service supply. (The nameplate is located 

below the right side of the heating element.)

10. HIGH TEMPERATURES: Keep electrical cords, furniture, 

draperies or any other blocking material away from the 

heater. See Installation Section for specific distances.
