* What to do if the solution in your Softheat Baseboard should leak out:
The solution in your Softheat Baseboard is a non-toxic thermal fluid (Material Safety Data Sheet available upon request). This solution is
non-toxic if ingested, and there is no immediate health concern with air quality following a spill. Take adequate precautions to keep
people and animals away from leakage. Non-porous rubber g
loves and eye protection should be worn during clean-up if exposure and
contact lasts longer than two hours.
Soak up spill with an absorbent material such as paper towels. Once excess liquid or residue has been absorbed, a non-oxidizing cleanser
such
as an orange citrus cleaner can be used to remove any remaining dried residue (first test a hidden section of flooring for colorfastness).
Scrub spill a
rea, then use absorbent material to remove any remaining cleanser. Several applications of the cleanser may be required,
depending on size and amount of spill.
1. Check to be sure unit is level. If gurgling doesn't stop within 30 minutes, unit needs to be replaced.
2. Replace element or heater.
1. Circuit breaker could be positioned incorrectly. Relocate breaker. Check voltage at the heater
between su
pply wires and make sure it matches required heater voltage.
2. Using Owner’s Guide, verify wires are connected properly and securely with appropriate wire nuts.
If the unit is still not operating, further testing should be done with ohmmeter. Consult an electrician.
1. Immediately discontinue use.* Replace element or heater (elements are not repairable).
1. No solution necessary - typical initial warm
-up takes 30-60 minutes.
2.
Check voltage at the heater between supply wires and make sure it matches required heater voltage.
1. Close doors and windows. Provide additional insulation, install a higher-wattage heater or multiple
heaters, if necessary.
2. Adjust thermostat to its lowest setting. If heater continues to run (allow two minutes for the
thermostat to respond), replace thermostat.
3. Refer to
thermostat documentation and correct wiring.

TERMOSTATO
Se requiere un termostato. Se recomienda un termostato mural Cadet
para un óptimo rendimiento, o bien puede optar por la comodidad de
un juego de termostato EBKN DPST incorporado. En las instrucciones
incluidas con el termostato encontrará información sobre el cableado
del mismo. Si ha de instalar un termostato, consulte la sección que
aparece más adelante en esta guía titulada “Paso 3: Termost
ato”
antes de instalar el zócalo.
UBICACIÓN
Para mejores resultados, instale el calentador de zócalo Softheat bajo
una ventana, junto a una pared exterior o lo más cerca posible de una
puerta que dé al exterior. Siga estas instrucciones para seleccionar un
área de instalación ideal:
ANTES DE PROCEDER CON LAS INSTRUCCIONES DE INSTALACIÓN, DEBE CONSIDERAR
DIVERSOS FACTORES QUE SON FUNDAMENTALES PARA LA INSTALACIÓN.
CABLEADO
La conexión estándar de los cables se hace en el lado izquierdo
del calentador de zócalo. Determine en qué lado del zócalo hará
las conexiones ubicando los cables de suministro. Los calentadores
se pueden comprar como pedido especial para una configuración
con conexión de alambres al lado derecho. Debe ubicar los cables
antes de montar el calentador. Consulte la sección titulada “Paso
3:
Termostato” antes de cablear el zócalo si es que instalará un
termostato mural.
VOLTAJE (TODOS LOS MODELOS)
Es extremadamente importante verificar que los alambres de
suministro eléctrico sean del mismo voltaje que el calentador (es
decir, un calentador de 120 voltios con un suministro de energía
del mismo voltaje, y un calentador de 240 voltios con un suministro
de energía de ese mismo valor). Si va a reemplazar un calentador
existente, revise las etiquetas del calentador antiguo y sustitúyalo
por otro del mismo voltaje. Si se conecta un calentador de 240
voltios a un suministro de energía de 120 voltios, se reducirá
drásticamente el rendimiento del calentador. Si se conecta un
calentador de 120 voltios a un suministro de energía de 240 voltios,
se destruirá el calentador.
NIVEL
El calentador de zócalo Softheat debe estar correctamente nivelado
cuando se instale, para que la cámara de calentamiento funcione
debidamente.
ACERCA DEL ZÓCALO ELÉCTRICO SOFTHEAT DE CADET: El zócalo eléctrico Softheat de Cadet está diseñado para brindar calor zonal a una
habitación usando convección a fin de hacer circular el aire caliente en forma natural. La seguridad es la principal prioridad de Cadet. Todos
los zóca
los Softheat incluyen un interruptor límite de alta temperatura y gran tamaño con restablecimiento automático que apaga el calentador
cuando se detectan temperaturas de operación excesivas. Para una operación eficaz y segura, y para prolongar la vida útil del calentador, lea
todas las instrucciones e información de seguridad y acate las instrucciones de mantenimiento de la presente Guía del propietario.

NO INSTALE EL ZÓCALO DEBAJO
DE UN TOMACORRIENTE ELÉCTRICO.
NO INSTALE NINGÚN ZÓCALO EN FORMA VERTICAL.
MONTE EL ZÓCALO ÚNICAMENTE
EN POSICIÓN HORIZONTAL
•
La unión donde confluyen la pared y el piso detrás de los
calentadores se debe calafatear para evitar el ingreso de polvo
a la habitación.
•
El calentador se debe instalar a ras de la superficie de la muralla.
•
Retire toda obstrucción entre la parte trasera de la unidad y la
superficie de la pared.
•
El calentador de zócalo puede instalarse directamente en la
superficie de cualquier tipo de piso, incluyendo alfombra.
•
Mantenga por lo menos un espaciado mínimo de 12 pulgadas
respecto de los objetos que cuelguen por encima (por ejemplo,
cortinas).
