User manual CALORIQUE FLOOR WARMING AND CEILING HEATING

[. . . ] RADIANT CEILING HEATING SYSTEM & WARM FLOORS COMFORT SYSTEM Operating Manual CM1002 -- 2003-10-01 2 INTRODUCTION The Calorique Radiant Ceiling Heating (RCH) or Warm Floors System installed in your home is the finest heating system available. The RCH system is located above your home's ceilings gently heating the occupants and furnishings in your home with even, comfortable radiant heat that never overheats the air -- this results in large energy savings over any other electric-based heating system. The Warm Floors system is located about 2 inches / 50 mm below the floor surface and gently warms the floor for the ultimate in luxury and comfort. [. . . ] For instance, if a room is rarely used, you can set its thermostat lower to conserve electricity. Lower the temperature settings before you leave your home for an extended period of time to reduce the amount of power that the system will consume. Setting the thermostat to a very high temperature will not make a room warm up faster -- it will merely result in the occupants being too hot when the set temperature is ultimately reached. High airflow velocities (from open doors or windows or extreme drafts) may make occupants feel cold. Routinely test thermostats according to their manufacturer's instructions. · · · · CAUTION NOTICES Although the Calorique systems require no maintenance, there are some things that must be taken into account to ensure that the systems are not damaged. Additional information for remodeling and repair technicians is available in the system's installation manual. If the installation manual was not left behind by the installers, call Calorique technical support at (508) 291-4224 for a replacement copy. RADIANT CEILING HEATING SYSTEM · Never pierce the ceiling. Hitting the electrically conductive portions of a heating panel can result in a potentially dangerous electric shock. If a portion of the ceiling surface must be replaced (due to water damage, etc. ), replace any exposed heating panel sets. A qualified RCH installer must handle this operation to ensure that the re-installation is properly performed. · 4 · Never cover any heated portion of a ceiling with decorative beams, track lighting, trim or other objects. If new walls or partitions are added in contact with heated portions of a ceiling, the heating panels which are covered must be disconnected from power to avoid a potential for overheating. Note that additional heating panels may have to be installed to compensate for the disconnected panels. Do not add additional facing materials (such as gypsum board, sheet rock or acoustic tile) to heated ceilings. Hitting the electrically conductive portions of a heating panel can result in a potentially dangerous electric shock.
