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.

Part One
PLACEMENT: Read IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS for important safety requirements. For best results,
install heater beneath a cabinet in the toe kick area. Install the Perfectoe (Model UC) horizontally. Do
not install the UC heater in the floor. Headers and bracing are not necessary. Heater must be
installed per the directions indicated on the lid. See clearance requirements for additional placement
instructions. Install at least 6 inches from the inside corner and/or vertical adjacent surfaces.
CONTROLS: A thermostat is required. A Cadet electronic thermostat is recommended for ultimate
control and comfort. Optional single or double pole field mount thermostat kits are also available.
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.
Connecting your
heater to an
incompatible power
supply will void the
warranty.
STEP 1 Turn the Electrical Power OFF
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.
STEP 2 Determine Area of Installation
The UC Series heater REQUIRES A MINIMUM
distance of 6 inches from adjacent surfaces
(See Figure 1). However, Cadet RECOMMENDS
12 inches from all adjacent surfaces for longer
and cleaner performance. Heaters must be
spaced at least 3 feet apart.
For installation in an existing wall/cabinet, cut
a rough opening 14½ inches wide by 3½ inches
high. Opening must be 8½ inches deep and
6 inches from adjacent wall.
Figure 1
WARNING! Vinyl floor manufacturers warn
that some vinyl may discolor from temperatures
in excess of 110° F. See your vinyl floor
manufacturer for temperature specifications
for your vinyl floor covering.
STEP 3 Route Supply Wires
For wall thermostat applications, route supply
wire from circuit breaker to thermostat to rough
opening. For models with an optional field mount
thermostat kit, route supply wire from circuit
breaker to rough opening. Allow enough wire to
extend 12 inches beyond the opening. Place heater
lid aside. Remove the knockout and attach the
supply wire with a strain relief connector, leaving
6 inches wire lead for later use (See Figure 2).
STEP 4 Connect Supply Wires
Connect the supply ground wire to the green
grounding screw provided (See Figure 2).
Connect each supply wire to one heater wire
with wire connectors. Note: All wire connections
must be made inside the heater.

STEP 5 Mount the Heater
Reinstall heater lid and attach using four
screws provided. Slide heater into opening.
Fasten heater to cabinet with screws (not
provided) going through the lower holes
located on the flanges. Fasten grill to heater
with screws provided going through the upper
holes located on the flanges.
STEP 6 Turn the Electrical Power ON
Turn the electrical power back on at the
electrical panel board (circuit breaker or
fuse box).

How to operate your heater
1. Once installation is complete and power
has been restored turn the thermostat knob
fully clockwise.
2. When the room reaches your comfort level,
turn the thermostat knob counterclockwise
until the heater turns off. The heater will
automatically cycle around this preset
temperature.
3. To reduce the room temperature, turn the
knob counterclockwise. To increase the
room temperature, turn the knob clockwise.
Maintenance
As needed, or every six months minimum.
1. WARNING! Before removing grill, turn
the electrical power off at the electrical
panel board (circuit breaker or fuse box).
Lock or tag the panel board door to prevent
someone from accidentally turning the power
on while you are working on the heater.
Failure to do so could result in serious
electrical shock, burns, or possible death.
2. It is important that you verify power has
been turned off and no power is going to the
heater before proceeding. Circuit breakers
are often not marked correctly and turning
the wrong breaker off could mean electricity
is flowing to the heater, even if the heater
does not appear to be working. If you are
uncomfortable working with electrical
appliances, unable to follow these
guidelines, or do not have the necessary
equipment, consult a qualified electrician.
3. Once you verify the power has been turned
off correctly, proceed to the next step.
4. Remove thermostat knob, if equipped.
Remove the screws and take off grill.
5. Wash grill with hot, soapy water and dry
immediately.
6. Remove the screws securing the heater
assembly to the opening, then pull heater
out of opening.
7. Remove the four screws securing the lid to
the top of the heater assembly, remove lid.
8. Thoroughly vacuum accumulated dust, lint
or other debris from blower wheel and heater
outlet. Important: Be careful not to damage
the blower wheel, and do not allow the
b
lower wheel to spin freely when vacuuming.
9. Install lid and slide heater assembly back
into opening. Secure heater assembly to
opening, then install grill and thermostat knob
(if equipped).
10. Restore power to heater at circuit breaker
panel or fuse box, then test heater operation
by turning thermostat on and/or adjusting
to a higher temperature.
About the Manual Reset Temperature
Limit Control
The heater is protected by a temperature-limit
control. The manual reset temperature limit
control is designed to open the heater circuit
when excessive operating temperatures are
detected. The problem must be assessed and
the limit must be reset to resume operation.
Resetting the Manual Reset Temperature
Limit Control
If the manual reset limit control has opened
the heater circuit due to excessive operating
temperatures, the heater will not work until
the manual reset limit button is pressed. After
allowing the unit to cool for at least 15 minutes
and resolving the problem causing the limit
to trip (typically heater is blocked or needs
cleaning), use a narrow object such as a
ball-point pen to access the manual reset
button through the heater grill. Press FIRMLY,
and be sure to listen and feel for a click,
indicating it has been reset.
