Installation Instructions, Thermostat, Placement

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

All electrical work and materials must comply with the National Electric Code (NEC), the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), and all state and local codes.

ABOUT THE CADET SOFTHEAT ELECTRIC BASEBOARD: The Cadet Softheat Baseboard is designed to provide zonal heat to a room by using convection to naturally circulate warm air. Safety is Cadet’s first priority. All Softheat baseboards feature an oversized high temperature auto reset limit switch that shuts the heater off when excessive operating temperatures are detected. For effective and safe operation, and to prolong the life of the heater, read all instructions and safety information, and follow the maintenance instructions in this Owner’s Guide.

BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, YOU MUST

CONSIDER SEVERAL FACTORS THAT ARE CRITICAL TO INSTALLATION

THERMOSTAT

A thermostat is required. A Cadet wall thermostat is recommended for optimum performance, or you may prefer the convenience of a built-in EBKN DPST thermostat kit. For instructions on wiring

a thermostat, see the instructions that were included with your thermostat. If you are installing a thermostat, refer to the section later in this guide titled “Step 3: Thermostat” prior to installing the baseboard.

PLACEMENT

For best results, install the Softheat baseboard heater under a window, along an outside wall, or as close as possible to an outside door. Follow these instructions for selecting an ideal area of installation:

DO NOT INSTALL ANY BASEBOARD

BELOW AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET

DO NOT INSTALL ANY BASEBOARD VERTICALLY. MOUNT THE BASEBOARD HORIZONTALLY ONLY

WARNING Do not mount the heater against combustible low-density cellulose fiberboard.

WARNING To reduce risk of fire, do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of the heater.

•The seam at the junction of the wall and floor behind the heater should be caulked to prevent dust from being drawn into the room.

•Heater should be set flush against surface of the wall.

•Remove any obstructions between the back of the unit and the surface of the wall.

•Baseboard heater may sit directly on any floor surface, including carpet.

•Maintain at least 12 inches minimum clearance from objects hanging above (i.e. drapes).

WIRING

Wire connection is standard from the left side of the baseboard heater. Determine on which side of the baseboard you are making wire connections by locating the supply wires. Heaters may

be purchased special order as a right side wire connection configuration. You must locate the supply wires before mounting the heater. See section titled “Step 3: Thermostat” prior to wiring the baseboard if you are installing a wall thermostat.

VOLTAGE (ALL MODELS)

It is extremely important that you verify the electrical supply wires are the same voltage as the heater (i.e. 120 volt heater to 120 volt power supply and 240 volt heater to 240 volt power supply). If replacing an existing heater check the labels of the old heater and replace using same voltage. Hooking a 240 volt heater to a 120 volt power supply will drastically reduce the heater’s output. Hooking a 120 volt heater to a 240 volt power supply will destroy the heater.

LEVEL

The Softheat baseboard heater must be properly leveled when installed, in order for the heating chamber to function properly.
