Installation Instructions - Cadet CM162 Guía Para El Propietario

1. WARNING
Verify that the electrical supply wires are the same
voltage as the heater.
2. If replacing an existing heater, check the label
of the old heater.
3. All electrical work and materials must comply
with the National Electric Code (NEC), the Occu-
pational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), and all
state and local codes.
4. If you need to install a new circuit or need addi-
tional wiring information, consult a qualified elec-
trician.
5. Use copper conductors only.
6. WARNING
Risk of Electrical Shock. DO NOT install the heat-
er directly above bathtub or sink. DO NOT install
in shower stall area (Manufacturer recommends a
minimum 2 foot clearance).
7. Heater must be installed in a wall can:
Model CM
__________________________
PLACEMENT: Install the Com-Pak Max (Model CM) vertically (recommended), or horizontally with optional grill kit. Note wall can posi-
tion for correct horizontal mounting. NOT APPROVED FOR CEILING MOUNT.
THERMOSTAT: A wall thermostat is required for models without a built-in thermostat. Vertically mounted units can use built-in thermo-
stat. Horizontally mounted units must use a wall thermostat. A Cadet Electronic thermostat is recommended for ultimate control and
comfort.
How do I install for new construction?
STEP 1 Mount The Wall Can
REQUIRED MINIMUM distance of 6 inches from adjacent surfac-
es and 4-1/2 inches from the floor (See Figures 4a and 4b). How-
ever, Cadet RECOMMENDS 12 inches from adjacent surfaces
and 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 to the stud. In the VERTI-
CAL mounting position the element of the heater assembly will be
at the TOP. In the HORIZONTAL mounting position the element of
the heater assembly will be to the LEFT.
Keeping front of the wall can flush with the finished wall surface
(See Figure 1), secure the wall can to the stud with 2 screws (not
included) through holes provided in the wall can. The rubber shim
provided may be attached to the side of the wall can to square the
wall can to the stud (See Figure 2).
Figure 1
Face of wall
can must
extend 1/2
inch or 5/8
inch from
face of stud
to allow for
thickness of
sheetrock.
STEP 2 Route Supply Wires
Route supply wire from the circuit breaker, to the thermostat, to
the wall can. For models with a built-in thermostat, route supply
wire from the circuit breaker to the wall can. Remove a knockout
from the wall can and attach the supply wire with a strain relief
connector (not included) leaving a minimum of 6 inches wire lead
for later use. Connect supply ground wire to grounding screw in
wall can (See Figure 3).
Proceed to PART TWO.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Wall Can CC
Attach wall can to stud
with screws.
8. WARNING
Risk of Fire. DO NOT install the heater in a floor,
in the ceiling, below a towel bar, behind a door,
or anywhere the air discharge may be blocked in
any manner.
9. WARNING
Fire or Explosion May Occur. A heater has hot
and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it
in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable va-
pors or liquids are used or stored.
10. WARNING
Risk of Electrical Shock. Connect grounding lead
to grounding screw provided. Keep all foreign ob-
jects out of heater.
11. WARNING
Risk of Fire. This heater is hot when in use.
Caution—High Temperature. Risk of Fire. Keep
electrical cords, drapery, furnishings, and other
combustibles at least 3 feet from the front of the
heater and 6 inches above and on both sides.

Part One
How do I install in an existing wall?
STEP 1 Cut A Hole In The Wall
REQUIRED MINIMUM distance of 6 inches from adjacent surfac-
es and 4-1/2 inches from the floor (See Figures 4a & 4b). Howev-
er, Cadet RECOMMENDS 12 inches from adjacent surfaces and
floor for longer and cleaner performance. Heaters must be spaced
at least 3 feet apart.
Vertical Mount: Cut a hole 8 inches wide by 10¼ inches high
next to a wall stud.
Horizontal Mount: Cut a hole 10¼ inches wide by 8 inches high
next to a wall stud.
Route Supply Wires
STEP 2
Route supply wire from the circuit
breaker, to the thermostat, to the wall
can. For models with a built-in thermo-
stat, route supply wire from the circuit
breaker to the wall can. Remove a
knockout from the wall can and attach
Figure 2
the supply wire with a strain relief con-
nector (not included) leaving a minimum
of 6 inches wire lead for later use. Con-
nect supply ground wire to grounding
screw in wall can (See Figure 3).
Mount The Wall Can
STEP 3
Review the wall can label for correct direction (as noted by the UP
arrows) before mounting the wall can to the stud. In the VERTI-
CAL mounting position the element of the heater assembly will be
at the TOP. In the HORIZONTAL mounting position the element of
the heater assembly will be to the LEFT. Insert wall can into wall
opening.
Keeping front of the wall can flush with the finished wall surface,
secure the wall can to the stud with 2 screws (not included)
through holes provided in the wall can. The rubber shim provided
may be attached to the side of the wall can to square the wall can
to the stud (See Figure 2).
(Note: Vertical installation places half round slots on the bottom,
horizontal installation places half round slots to the right).
