ConTinuous VenTiLATion

Two ventilation speeds can be selected on the furnace control panel: LOW SPEED CONTINUOUS VENTILATION or HIgH SPEED CONTINUOUS 

VENTILATION. The user can select the ventilation speed by pressing the button located on the left side of the control panel (item #1 in the control 

panel picture).
The SFECM series allows to adjust the continuous ventilation airflows independently from the ventilation airflow in heating mode. Note that it also 

allows airflows as low as 300 cfm in continuous ventilation. This reduces ventilation noises considerably.

ConTinuous heATing

The continuous heating option allows one or two heating elements to operate continuously. The user can select the minimum (one element) or 

maximum (two elements) continuous heating by pressing the button located on the right side of the control panel (item #7 in the control panel 

picture). Please note that for model #1021, the minimum and maximum continuous heating are the same (one element). The continuous heating 

mode is useful from the beginning to the end of the heating season since it reduces temperature variations into the house. If the minimum or 

maximum continuous heating option is activated by the user, the furnace will deactivate it when the heating season ends (more than two hours 

without any heating demand). Moreover, it will reactivate it when a new heating season begins. Note that the pilot light indicating the heating 

option will blink if the furnace deactivates this option because the heating season is over. This indicates that the continuous heating will be 

activated again at the start of the next heating season.

Air ConDiTioning

The furnace supplies the necessary 24V power for the thermostat relay (R-Y terminals) to control the air-conditioner compressor relay. When the 

R-Y terminals are activated, the blower starts-up at high speed. See the connection diagram.

heAT PumP

If a heat pump is installed in your central heating system, the Stelpro electric furnace offers the installer two types of installations: type ”A” or type 

”B”. Installation ”A” must be selected when the heat pump is installed 

A

fter the furnace (air supply), and installation ”B” must be selected when 

the heat pump is installed 

B

efore the furnace (air return), as shown in the next picture. once again, when the R-Y terminals are activated, the 

blower starts-up at high speed.
