IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

Before you begin, you should know...

1. Read all instructions before using this heater.

2. A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts

inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline,

paint, or ammable vapors or liquids are used or

stored.

3. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns,

do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Keep

combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows,

bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains away from

heater.

4. To prevent a possible re, do not block air

intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on

soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may

become blocked.

5. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter

any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may

cause an electric shock or re, or damage the

heater.

6. Save these instructions.

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of re,

electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

...how softHEAT hydronic baseboards work

...a thermostat is required

A Cadet wall thermostat is recommended for optimum performance, or you may prefer the convenience of a

built-in model EBKN thermostat kit. Refer to STEP 3 Thermostat prior to installing the baseboard if you are

installing a wall thermostat. For help wiring a thermostat, see the instructions included with your thermostat.

Wire connection is standard from the left end of the baseboard heater. Determine which side of the base-

board you are making wire connections by locating the supply wires. Heaters may be ordered with a right end

wire conguration. You must locate the supply wires before mounting the heater.

...voltage on all models is 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 same voltage. Connecting a 240 volt heater to a

120 volt power supply will drastically reduce the heater’s output. Connecting a 120 volt heater to a 240 volt

power supply will destroy the heater.

...where the wire connections will be

...that a level heater is best

The softHEAT baseboard heater must be properly leveled when installed, in order for the heating chamber to

function properly.

Inside a softHEAT baseboard, a sealed heat transfer uid

is heated by an electric heating element. As the solution

is heated, warmth is generated and transmitted through

dozens of aluminum ns along the heater tube (it could

initially take 30 to 60 minutes to warm a room, depending on

the room size).

As the warmth spreads outward from the heater, cooler air

from the oor and wall naturally ow toward the base of the

heater. “Convection air heating” (see Figure 1) means no

noisy fans are needed and the room is warmed with even,

comfortable heat. There will be no cold and hot spots in the

room as found with other types of heaters. SoftHEAT won’t

blow or burn dust particles, making it a good solution for

those with severe allergies.
