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 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 pigtail (copper wire) 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,
behind doors, or outdoors.
8. WARNING
Fire or explosion may occur. Heater has hot and arcing or sparking
parts inside. Do not install heater in any area where combustible
vapors, gases, liquids, or excessive lint or dust are present.
9. 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 unattended.
10. WARNING
Risk of Electrical Shock. Keep all foreign objects out of heater.
Do not operate after heater malfunctions or has been dropped or
damaged in any manner.
11. WARNING
Risk of Fire. Do not block heater. Heater must be kept clear of all
obstructions: a minimum of 3 feet in front, 6 inches above and on
both sides. Heaters must be kept clean of excessive lint, dirt and
debris. (See Maintenance Instructions).
12. 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.

READ ALL
INSTRUCTIONS
AND SAFETY
INFORMATION
IMPORTANT!
It is extremely
important you verify
that 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.
Connecting your
heater to an
incompatible
power supply will
void the warranty.

Installation Instructions
Part One
PLACEMENT: Install The Com-Pak Plus (Model C) vertically (recommended) or horizontally. Model C may be
installed in the ceiling (for models up to 1500W maximum. See ceiling mount instructions.) The Com-Pak Twin Plus
(Model CT) must be installed with the arrows in the wall can pointing upwards.
THERMOSTAT: A thermostat is required for models without a built-in thermostat. A Cadet Electronic Thermostat or
Cadet Dual Diaphragm Thermostat is recommended for ultimate control and comfort.
How do I install for
new construction walls?
STEP 1
The C Series REQUIRES A MINIMUM distance of
6inchesfromadjacentsurfacesand4
the floor (See Figure 4) and the CT Series REQUIRES
A MINIMUM distance of 6 inches from adjacent
surfaces and 4
However, Cadet RECOMMENDS 12 inches from all
adjacent surfaces and 12 inches above the floor for
longer and cleaner performance. Heaters must be
spaced at least 3 feet apart.
Review the wall can label for correct direction
(as noted by the UP arrows) before mounting the
wall can in the opening. In the VERTICAL mounting
position the elements of the heater assembly will be
at the top, in the HORIZONTAL mounting position the
elements of the heater assembly will be to the left.
Model C: Secure the wall can to the stud with
2 screws (See Figures 1 & 2). As an option, the rubber
shim provided may be attached to side of wall can to
square the wall can to the stud.
Model CT: Secure the wall can to studs on both sides
with 4 screws.
Figure 1
Face of wall can must
extend
from face of stud to allow
for thickness of sheetrock.
STEP 2
Route supply wire from circuit breaker to thermostat
to wall can. For models with built-in thermostat, route
supply wire from circuit breaker to wall can. Remove
a knockout and attach the supply wire with a strain
relief connector leaving 10 inches wire lead for later
use. Connect supply ground wire to grounding pigtail
in wall can (See Figure 3). Proceed to PART TWO.

surfaces and 4
Cadet RECOMMENDS 12 inches from all adjacent
surfaces and 12 inches from the floor (See Figure 4).
Model CT: Cut a hole 14

Insert wall can into opening. Keeping wall can flush
with wall, secure Model C to wall stud with 2 screws
and Model CT to both wall studs with 4 screws.
Proceed to PART TWO.

How do I install for ceiling mount?
(for models up to 1500 Watts maximum)
STEP 1
The C Series REQUIRES A MINIMUM distance of
6 inches from all adjacent surfaces. However, Cadet
RECOMMENDS 12 inches from all adjacent surfaces
for longer and cleaner performance. Important:
Do not mount the heater in low-density fiberboard
or false ceilings.
Secure the wall can to studs/rafters on opposite sides
(See Figures 6 and 7) with 4 screws (not provided).
The face of the wall can must extend
from face of rafters to allow for thickness of sheetrock.
Insulating materials may touch the wall can however,
“blown-in” insulation is not recommended as it could
be drawn into the heater through gaps behind the grill.
For ceiling installation, the wall can must be boxed in
with wood on all sides and back to prevent dust from
entering the heater through the ceiling cavity.
STEP 2
Route supply wire from circuit breaker to thermostat
to wall can. Models with a built-in thermostat are not
recommended for ceiling mount. Remove a knockout
in the wall can and attach the supply wire with a strain
relief connector leaving 10 inches wire lead for later
use (See Figure 3). Connect supply ground wire to
grounding pigtail in wall can. Proceed to Part Two.

WARNING
Risk of Electrical

to grounding wire
provided. Keep
all foreign objects
out of heater.
WARNING
Risk of Fire.
Heater must be
kept clear of
all obstructions:
a minimum
of 3 feet in front;
6 inches on both
sides and above.
Heaters must be
kept clean of lint,
dirt and debris.
After you have followed all instructions in PART ONE
you are ready to install the heater assembly.
How do I insert the heater assembly
into the wall can?
STEP 1
Turn heater assembly upside-down (element down)
with motor facing you. Connect the supply wires to
the heater wires with wire connectors (See Figure
8). Now rotate the heater so the element and fan are
facing you (with the element ‘up’). Insert the bottom
edge of the heater assembly into the tabs in the
bottom lip of the wall can (See Figure 9).
Important: Push wires into bottom of wall can during
insertion. Be sure that supply wires are not caught
between motor and wall can. Attach assembly at top
with screw provided.
STEP 2
Secure grill with the screws provided. If you have a
built-in thermostat model, slide thermostat knob onto
shaft. Turn power on at the electrical panel board.
Warranty is void if any material is sprayed on the
element or blower.
