READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Installation Instructions
Part One
PLACEMENT: Read IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS for important safety requirements. For best results, install heater beneath a cabinet in the toe kick area. Install the Perfectoe (Model UC) horizontally. Do not install the UC heater in the floor. Headers and bracing are not necessary. Heater must be installed per the directions indicated on the lid. See clearance requirements for additional placement instructions. Install at least 6” from the inside corner and/or vertical adjacent surfaces.
CONTROLS: A thermostat is required. A Cadet electronic thermostat is recommended for ultimate control and comfort. Optional single or double pole field mount thermostat kits are also available.
IMPORTANT!
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 the 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.
STEP 1 Turn the Electrical Power OFF
Turn the electrical power off at the electrical panel board (circuit breaker or fuse box) and lock or tag the panel board door to prevent someone from turning on power while you are working
on the heater.
STEP 2 Determine Area of Installation
The UC Series heater REQUIRES A MINIMUM distance of 6 inches from adjacent surfaces (See Figure 1). However, Cadet RECOMMENDS 12 inches from all adjacent surfaces for longer and cleaner performance. Heaters must be spaced at least 3 feet apart.
For installation in an existing wall/cabinet, cut a rough opening 14½ inches wide by 3½ inches high. Opening must be 8½ inches deep and
6 inches from adjacent wall.

WARNING! Vinyl floor manufacturers warn that some vinyl may discolor from temperatures in excess of 110° F. See your vinyl floor manufacturer for temperature specifications for your vinyl floor covering.
STEP 3 Route Supply Wires
For wall thermostat applications, route supply wire from circuit breaker to thermostat to rough opening. For models with an optional field mount thermostat kit, route supply wire from circuit breaker to rough opening. Allow enough wire to extend 12 inches beyond the opening. Place heater lid aside. Remove the knockout and attach the supply wire with a strain relief connector, leaving 6 inches wire lead for later use (See Figure 2).
STEP 4 Connect Supply Wires
Connect the supply ground wire to the green grounding pigtail provided (See Figure 2). Connect each supply wire to one heater wire with wire connectors. Note: All wire connections must be made inside the heater.

STEP 5 Mount the Heater
Reinstall heater lid and attach using four screws provided. Slide heater into opening. Fasten heater to cabinet with screws (not provided) going through the lower holes located on the flanges. Fasten grill to heater with screws provided going through the upper holes located on the flanges.
Connecting your heater to an incompatible power supply will void the warranty.

STEP 6 Turn the Electrical Power ON
Turn the electrical power back on at the electrical panel board (circuit breaker or fuse box).
