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 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 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.

Installation Instructions
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” 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.
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.

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 pigtail 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.
Figure 2 |
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).
Operation and Maintenance
Part Two
How to operate your heater
1.Once installation in 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.If present, 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 blower 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.
