Specifications

Baseboard Wiring
IMPORTANT! It is important that you verify the
electrical supply wires are the same voltage as
the heater. Check heater specifications to ensure
correct wiring. Failure to do so may destroy the heater
and void your warranty.
120 Volt Baseboard Wiring: 3 wire hookup – 1 hot,
1 neutral and 1 ground.
240 Volt Baseboard Wiring: 3 wire hookup – 2 hot,
1 ground (no neutral needed).
Disconnect One Factory Connector
Wire connection is possible from either left (A)
or right (B) side of the baseboard heater. You must
disconnect one factory connector on the side
you are wiring, but do not disconnect both.
(See Figure 3).
Proceed to Step 4.
STEP 3
PLACEMENT: For best results, install the baseboard heater under a window, along an outside wall, or as close
as possible to an outside door. Do not install any baseboard below an electrical outlet. Horizontal mount only.
THERMOSTAT: A thermostat is required. A Cadet wall thermostat is recommended for optimum
performance, or you may prefer the convenience of a built-in thermostat kit.

BEFORE DOING ANY
ELECTRICAL WIRING.
WARNING!
Risk of Fire.
Heater must be
kept clear of all
obstructions:
12“ in front and
above; 6” on both
sides minimum.
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.

OMPARTMENT COVER
Area of Installation
•
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.
•
When installing a baseboard heater, 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.
•
Do not allow carpet to block lower air intake located
1 inch from the bottom.
•
Maintain at least 12 inches minimum clearance
from objects hanging above (i.e., drapes).
Mounting Heater to Wall
1. Locate wall studs closest to supply wires and
position heater. NOTE: Wire connection is possible
from either right or left side of the baseboard heater.
2. Remove the wiring compartment cover by removing
the screw. The wiring compartment is an approved
junction box for the baseboard only. No additional
junction box is required.
3. Remove the slotted knockout closest to the supply
wires and install a strain relief connector.

STEP 2
4. Pull supply wires through the connector and secure
leaving 6 inch wire leads for later use.
5. Mount the heater securely to the wall with nails
or screws going into at least two wall studs (See
Figure 2). The back of the heater has “star punch”
dimples that allow nails or screws to easily pierce
the sheet metal.
NOTE: You do not
need to remove the element,
cover or deflector to mount the heater.
6. Connect the grounding lead to the grounding pigtail
(copper wire) with a connector. It may be necessary
to move ground lead to the side you are wiring.
