1. 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.
2. Use copper conductors only.
3. DO NOT install the heater directly above bathtub
or sink. DO NOT install in shower stall area. Cadet
recommends installing your heater at least 2 feet (61
cm) away to prevent contact with water.
4. Heater must be connected to a GFCI protected
branch circuit when installed in a bathroom.
5. Heater must be installed in a wall can:
Model NLW - wall can models NLWC or NLWC-S
__________________________
PLACEMENT: For best results install the NLW heater on an inside wall. Headers and bracing are not necessary.
NOTE: The wall can must be installed in the TOP UP (vertical) position only. Heater is not approved for ceiling mount.
THERMOSTAT: A built-in double pole thermostat is included.
How do I install for new construction?
Mount The Wall Can
STEP 1
REQUIRED MINIMUM distance of 6 inches from adjacent surfac-
es and 6 inches from the floor (See Figure 3). However, Cadet
RECOMMENDS 12 inches from adjacent surfaces and floor for
longer and cleaner performance. The maximum distance from the
floor to the bottom of the heater is 24 inches. Heaters must be
spaced at least 3 feet apart.
Secure the wall can to the studs with screws through the larger
(3/16 inch) holes. (See Figures 1 and 2).

Figure 2
Face of wall can must extend
1/2 inch or 5/8 inch from face
of stud to allow for thickness of
sheetrock. Mount wall can flush
with finished surface.
6. DO NOT install the heater in a floor, below a towel
bar, behind a door, or anywhere the air discharge
may be blocked in any manner.
7. To reduce the risk of fire, do not store or use gasoline
or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of the heater.
8. Connect grounding lead to grounding screw provid-
ed. Keep all foreign objects out of heater.
9. Electric heaters must be installed on a circuit
dedicated to electric heaters, they cannot share a
circuit with outlets, lights, or other appliances.

Part One
How do I install in an existing wall?
Cut A Hole In The Wall
STEP 1
Cut a hole 14 1/4 inches wide by 19 1/4 inches high next to a wall
stud. REQUIRED MINIMUM distance of 6 inches from adjacent
surfaces and 6 inches from the floor (See Figure 3). However, Ca-
det RECOMMENDS 12 inches from adjacent surfaces and floor
for longer and cleaner performance. The maximum distance from
the floor to the bottom of the heater is 24 inches. Heaters must be
spaced at least 3 feet apart.

Route Supply Wires
STEP 2
Route supply wire
from circuit breaker to
top of wall can. Re-
move knockout and
attach the supply wire
with a strain relief
connector, leaving 6
inches of wire lead
for later use. Connect
supply ground wire to
grounding screw in
wall can (See Figure
4).
