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/energy plus 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
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

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make sure all wires are properly connected and installation is complete before you turn on the heater.
2.  Do not operate without grill.
3. Do not tamper with the high-temperature safety shutoff.

Complete installation
After installation, turn your heater to the highest setting and let it run for 30 minutes. Some smoking may occur as the element initially burns off residue from manufacturing. If your heater shows signs of overheating, such as glowing red or repeatedly getting unusually hot and shutting off, immediately turn off the circuit breaker and review the “KNOW YOUR VOLTAGE” section or call us. If the high-temperature safety shutoff trips more than once a day, replace the heater.
