WARNING! 
Risk of Electrical
Shock. Connect grounding lead to grounding wire
provided. Keep all foreign objects out of heater.
WARNING! Risk of Fire. Heaters must be kept clean of lint, dirt and debris. Failure to follow warnings may cause heater to eject sparks, ignite materials, or cause electrical shock.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 3: Thermostat
For best results, use a Cadet electronic wall thermostat or an EBKN end cap DPST thermostat kit. It is recommended that a thermostat be provided for each room. The location of the thermostat should be selected carefully. Thermostats should not be located near drafts from an open doorway or within 18” (45.7cm) of an outside wall, or in direct sunlight or unusual heat sources. A television set or appliance that builds up heat near
a thermostat will prevent the thermostat from functioning properly. A wiring diagram illustrating typical wiring of the thermostat is included in the literature provided with the thermostat.
Illustrated in Figures 7 through 11 are wiring diagrams typical of a single unit controlled by a single pole thermostat, a single unit controlled by a double pole thermostat, and two units controlled by a double pole thermostat.

How To Operate Your Heater
WARNING The heater must be installed properly before it is used.
1.Switch the power on at the electrical panel board. PLEASE NOTE: Upon initial
2.Turn the thermostat fully clockwise. 
3.When the room reaches your comfort level, turn the
thermostat knob counterclockwise 
until a clicking sound is heard (if using a digital thermostat, set at desired room temperature). The baseboard will automatically cycle around this preset temperature.
Maintenance
Softheat baseboards are virtually maintenance- free. However, a certain amount of lint and dust will accumulate inside, which periodically should be removed.
1.Turn the electrical power off at the electrical panel board (circuit breaker or fuse box). Lock or tag the panel board door to prevent someone from accidentally turning the power on while you are working on the heater. Failure to do so could result in serious electrical shock, burns, or possible death.
2.Allow the heater to cool to room temperature before continuing.
3.Remove front panel.
4.Vacuum inside the unit, being careful not to damage the aluminum fins on the heater tube.

to do so could result in serious electrical shock, burns, or possible death!
Inside a Softheat baseboard a hermetically sealed heat transfer fluid is heated by an electric heating element. As the solution is heated, warmth is generated and transmitted through dozens of aluminum fins along the heater tube (it could initially take 30 to 60 minutes to warm a room, depending on the room size). As the warmth spreads outward from the heater, cooler air from the floor and wall naturally flow toward the base of the heater. “Convection air heating” (see Figure 12) means no noisy fans are needed and the room is warmed with even, comfortable heat. There will be no cold and hot spots in the room as found with other types of heaters. Softheat won’t blow or burn dust particles, making it allergist recommended for patients with respiratory ailments or allergies.
