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.
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
injury to persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions and labels before installing this heater.
2. WARNING
A heater has hot and arcing parts inside. Do not install in
areas where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are stored or
excessive lint or dust are present.
3. WARNING
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 possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in
any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where
openings may become blocked. Heaters must be kept clean of
excessive lint, dirt and debris. (See Maintenance Instructions).
5. Risk of electrical shock. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to
enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an
electric shock or fire, or damage the heater.
6. Do not place heater below an electrical convenience receptacle.
7. WARNING
Overheating or fire may occur. Do not install the heater behind
doors.
8. Use extreme caution when any heater is used near children or
invalids and whenever the heater is left operating unattended.
9. WARNING
Do not operate after heater malfunctions or has been dropped
or damaged in any manner.
10. WARNING
Risk of fire. Do not block heater minimum of 12 inches in front
and above, 6 inches on both sides.
11.Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use
not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electrical
shock, or injury to persons.
12.Verify that the electrical supply wires are the same voltage as
the heater. The heater must be grounded to the grounding
screw provided. If you need to install a new circuit or need
additional wiring information, consult a qualified electrician.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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.
ABOUT THE CADET SOFTHEAT ELECTRIC BASEBOARD: The Cadet Softheat Baseboard is designed to provide zonal heat to a room by using
convection to naturally circulate warm air. Safety is Cadet’s first priority. All Softheat baseboards feature an oversized high temperature auto
reset limit switch that shuts the heater off when excessive operating temperatures are detected. For effective and safe operation, and to prolong
the life of the heater, read all instructions and safety information, and follow the maintenance instructions in this Owner’s Guide.
BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, YOU MUST
CONSIDER SEVERAL FACTORS THAT ARE CRITICAL TO INSTALLATION
THERMOSTAT
A thermostat is required. A Cadet wall thermostat is recommended
for optimum performance, or you may prefer the convenience of
a built-in EBKN DPST thermostat kit. For instructions on wiring
a thermostat, see the instructions that were included with your
thermostat. If you are installing a thermostat, refer to the section
later in this guide titled “Step 3: Thermostat” prior to installing
the baseboard.
PLACEMENT
For best results, install the Softheat baseboard heater under
a window, along an outside wall, or as close as possible to an
outside door. Follow these instructions for selecting an ideal
area of installation:
WARNING Do not mount the heater against combustible
low-density cellulose fiberboard.
WARNING To reduce risk of fire, do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of the heater.
•
The seam at the junction of the wall and floor behind the heater
should be caulked to prevent dust from being drawn into the room.
•
Heater should be set flush against surface of the wall.
•
Remove any obstructions between the back of the unit and
the surface of the wall.
•
Baseboard heater may sit directly on any floor surface,
including carpet.
•
Maintain at least 12 inches minimum clearance from objects
hanging above (i.e. drapes).
DO NOT INSTALL ANY BASEBOARD
BELOW AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET
WIRING
Wire connection is standard from the left side of the baseboard
heater. Determine on which side of the baseboard you are making
wire connections by locating the supply wires. Heaters may
be purchased special order as a right side wire connection
configuration. You must locate the supply wires before mounting
the heater. See section titled “Step 3: Thermostat” prior to wiring
the baseboard if you are installing a wall thermostat.
VOLTAGE (ALL MODELS)
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. Hooking a 240 volt heater to a 120 volt
power supply will drastically reduce the heater’s output. Hooking
a 120 volt heater to a 240 volt power supply will destroy the heater.
DO NOT INSTALL ANY BASEBOARD VERTICALLY.
MOUNT THE BASEBOARD HORIZONTALLY ONLY
2
LEVEL
The Softheat baseboard heater must be properly leveled when
installed, in order for the heating chamber to function properly.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1: Mount Heater to Wall
1. Locate wall studs closest to supply wires and position
heater (See Figure 1). NOTE: Wire connection is from
left side only on standard models.
Figure 1
2. Carefully remove front cover from heater by lifting
cover up from the bottom, and then outwards.
Set aside.
3. Remove wiring compartment cover, held by one
screw, from side you wish to wire. (Figure 2).
4. Remove slotted knockout closest to the supply
wires and install a strain relief connector.
5. Pull supply wires through the connector and secure,
leaving 6 inch wire leads for later use.
6. NOTE: If you will be installing a heater mounted
EBKN thermostat, you should do so now before
mounting your baseboard to the wall. See your
EBKN thermostat Owner’s Guide for instructions.
7. Position the heater and fasten one end of heater
to wall stud with screw in safe drill area as shown
in Figure 3. Before fastening to wall stud at other
end, place level across top of heater and make sure
heater is level. (Figure 4).

STEP 2: Wiring Provisions / Wiring
This heating unit is designed for permanent installation.
All wiring should be routed in compliance with the
National Electrical Code and all local codes, where
applicable. A maximum of No. 10 AWG wire may be
used with this heater. All wiring should be planned
and run before heating units are set in place.
Standard units are wired from left end of the heater
only. (See Figure 5 for internal heater wiring).
When wiring unit through rear, remove knock out and
place heater on wall. Mark knockout location on wall.
When running conduit or cable to unit through flooring
and knock out in bottom of wiring compartment,
measure 1-1/2” (38mm) from wall and 2” (51mm)
from left end of unit. Cut a 7/8” (22mm) hole in floor
centered on the measured location (See Figure 6).
Connect the grounding lead to the green ground
screw (provided), using a connector. (See Figure 5).

Furnishings Away
From Heater
WARNING!
RISK OF ELECTRICAL
SHOCK. TURN OFF
ALL POWER AT THE
ELECTRICAL PANEL
BOARD SUPPLYING
POWER TO THE
HEATER BEFORE
DOING ANY
ELECTRICAL WIRING.
WARNING!
Risk of Fire.
Heater must be
kept clear of all
obstructions:
12” in front and above;
6” on both sides
minimum.
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 the
same voltage.
Hooking a 240 volt
heater to a 120 volt
power supply will
drastically reduce
the heater’s output.
Hooking a 120 volt
heater to a 240 volt
power supply will
destroy the heater.
