Installation Instructions
How do I install for ceiling mount?
(for models up to 1500 Watts maximum)
Mount the Wall Can
STEP 1
The CS 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.
Route Supply Wires
STEP 2
For ceiling-inset installation, supply connections
shall use wires suitable for at least 75˚C (167˚F).
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 6 inches wire lead for later
use (See Figure 3). Connect supply ground wire to
grounding pigtail in wall can. Proceed to Part Two.
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?
Install Heater Assembly
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 Fig ure
8). 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 heater
assembly at top with screw provided.
Install Grill
STEP 2
Secure grill with the screws provided. If you have a
built-in thermostat model, slide thermo stat knob onto
shaft. Turn power on at the electrical panel board.
Warranty is void if any material is sprayed on the
element or blower. Use a paint mask to cover any
exposed areas of the heater if walls are to be
textured or painted.
