IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Turn the electrical power off at the electrical panel board (circuit breaker or fuse box) and lock
or tag the panel board door to prevent someone from turning on power while you are working
on the heater. Failure to do so could result in serious electrical shock, burns, or possible death.

1. Read all instructions before installing or using this heater.

2. Read all information labels. Verify that the electrical supply

wires are the same voltage as the heater.

3. All electrical work and materials must comply with the
National Electric Code (NEC), the Occupational Safety and
Health Act (OSHA), and all state and local codes.

4. Connect the grounding screw provided in the wall can
to the supply ground wire.

5. If you need to install a new circuit or need additional wiring
information, consult a qualified electrician.

6. Protect electrical supply from kinks, sharp objects, oil,
grease, hot surfaces or chemicals.

7. WARNING
Overheating or fire may occur. DO NOT install the heater
in a floor, in the ceiling, below a towel bar, behind a door, or
anywhere the air discharge may be blocked in any manner.

8. WARNING
Fire or explosion may occur. DO NOT install heater in any
area where combustible vapors, gases, gasoline, liquids, or
excessive lint or dust are present. A heater has hot and arcing
or sparking parts inside.

9. WARNING
DO NOT install where heater is likely to get wet. Do not
use outdoors.

10. WARNING
Burn Hazard. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns,
do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Use extreme caution
when any heater is used by or near children or invalids, and
whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.

11. WARNING
Risk of Electrical Shock. DO NOT install the heater directly
above bathtub or sink. DO NOT install in shower stall area
(Manufacturer recommends a minimum 2 foot clearance).

12. WARNING
Risk of Electrical Shock. Connect grounding lead to grounding
screw provided. Keep all foreign objects out of heater.

13. WARNING
Risk of Electrical Shock. Never place a switch where it can
be reached from the tub or shower enclosure.

14. WARNING
Risk of Fire. Do not block heater. Heater must be kept clear of
all obstructions: Keep combustible materials, such as furniture,
pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, etc. and curtains at least 3 feet
from the front of the heater and 6 inches above and on both sides.

15. WARNING
Risk of Electrical Shock. Do not operate any heater after it
malfunctions. Disconnect power at service panel and have
heater inspected by a reputable electrician before reusing.

16. WARNING
Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use
not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric

Installation Instructions

PLACEMENT: Install the CEH unit heater vertically or horizontally. Brackets are also available for ceiling mount
or wall mount applications.

THERMOSTAT: For single-phase only, a line voltage thermostat is required for operation. For three-phase,
a two-stage or modulating thermostat is required. A Cadet wall thermostat is recommended for ultimate

control and comfort.

WARNING!
When working

with electricity,

turn the electrical

power off at the
electrical panel

board and lock or

tag the circuit

breaker door.

Failure to do so

could result in seri-

ous electrical

shock, burns, or

possible death.

Horizontal Delivery

Heaters should be located so that the air streams of
the individual units “wipe” the exposed walls of the
building without blowing directly against the wall.
Recommended spacing between the units is 12 feet.
Locate heaters so their air streams are not
subjected to interference from columns, partitions,
machin ery, etc. (See Figure 1)

Figure 1

Vertical Delivery

In buildings with high ceilings or bays, vertical
delivery unit heaters are recommended to produce
comfort in central areas. They are best used when
the perimeter heat loss is adequately controlled. In
combination with horizontally discharged units, they aid
in providing good air mixture (See Figure 3).

Vertical discharging units are mounted high above
machinery, assembly lines, etc.

In an application where only vertical discharging
units will be used, the air streams must overlap to
blanket outside walls and provide good heat
distribution (See Figure 4).

WARNING!

Risk of Fire.

Heaters must

be kept clean

of lint, dirt

and debris.

Failure to follow

warnings may

cause heater to
eject sparks, ignite
materials, or cause

electrical shock.

General Safety Information

The ceiling or wall on which the heater is to be
mounted must be of adequate strength to support
the heater. Plaster or suspended ceilings will not
support this type of heater. For greater stability, we
recommend the use of threaded rods.

Do not mount the heater where volatile liquids or
gases will be present or where it will be exposed
to rain or mist. All combustible materials should
be kept at least 3 feet away from front of the heater.

Mounting the CEH Unit Heater

CAUTION:

THE CEILING OR WALL MOUNTING STRUCTURE AND ANCHORING PROVISIONS

MUST BE OF SUFFICIENT STRENGTH TO SUPPORT THE COMBINED WEIGHT

OF THE HEATER AND MOUNTING BRACKETS.

Figure 5

Ceiling mount. Vertical mounting clearances.

In an area where the air temperature will be
maintained at less than 68˚F, the heater should be
mounted in a position that will not blow directly on
people working in the area.

A minimum clearance for each heater (both horizontal
and vertical mount) is listed in Figures 2 and 5.
Please follow these recommendations to avoid
potential problems with the function and safety of
the heater.
