TOOLS REQUIRED

PARTS OF YOUR HEATER

TIPS BEFORE YOU BEGIN

The Energy Plus can only be mounted with the element up. It cannot be mounted in the ceiling or in the floor. For multiple heater wiring, see page 6.

• For cleaner performance and longer heater life, install your heater 12 inches from the floor.
• All models can be installed to be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant. Check your state and local requirements.
•  A wall thermostat cannot be used with this heater. If you’re replacing a heater controlled by a wall thermostat, watch our video here: http://cadetheat.com/install/energyplus to see how to remove it.
• The wall can label arrows show the correct mounting orientation (arrows must point up).

STEP 1 :Cut a hole in the wall next to a wall stud PARE
If you haven’t installed drywall yet, skip this step.

STEP 2 :Locate or route electrical supply wires
Route the electrical supply wire from the circuit breaker to the heater location. Remove a knockout from the wall can and attach the supply wire with a cable clamp connector (not included) leaving a minimum of 6 inches wire lead (See Figure 2).

STEP 3 :Mount the wall can
If you haven’t installed drywall yet, make sure the front of the wall can extends beyond the front edge of the wall stud to match the drywall depth (See Figure 2). If you already have drywall installed, place the can into the cutout so the front is flush with the drywall. Fasten the wall can to the stud with two screws through holes provided in the wall can (See Figure 2). As an option, the foam pad provided may be attached to the side of the wall can to square the wall can to the stud

MAINTAINING YOUR HEATER

2. Wait for the heater to cool.
3.  Remove grill.
4.  Wash grill with hot soapy water and dry.
5.  Blow air through the heating element with a hair dryer or shop vacuum on blow cycle.
6. Clean the fan with a vacuum cleaner.
7.  Replace grill. Turn power back on at the main disconnect panel. Any service other than cleaning should be performed by an authorized service representative.

High-temperature safety shutoff
All Energy Plus heaters come with a built-in high-temperature safety shutoff that stops electricity flowing to the heater if it gets too hot inside. See TROUBLESHOOTING below if you’re experiencing problems with your heater.
