Troubleshooting Chart - Cadet The Register Plus RM202 Guia Del Propietario

How to operate your heater
1. Once installation is complete and power has been restored, turn the thermo-
stat knob fully clockwise.
2. When the room reaches your comfort level, turn the thermostat knob counter-
clockwise 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.) Turn the heater thermostat all the way up and wait approximately 30 seconds
(120 seconds for some electronic thermostats). If the heater turns on, you
have turned off the wrong circuit breaker at the electrical panel board.
3.) If heater does not turn on, proceed with next step.
4.) Remove screws and take off grill.
5.) Wash grill with hot soapy water and dry immediately.
6.) While holding fan (to avoid damage or bending), use a hair dryer or vacuum
on blow cycle to blow debris through the top element (Do not touch element).

Operation & Maintenance

Troubleshooting Chart

Solution
1. Verify that supply voltage matches the heater rating.
2. The total amperage of all heaters on a branch circuit must not be more than 80%
of the amperage rating of the circuit breaker and supply wire ratings. Use a
lower wattage heater, or reduce the number of heaters on the circuit.
3. Shorted supply or heater wires may be accompanied by severe sparking.
Inspect all supply and heater wiring insulation for damage. Do not reset the cir-
cuit breaker until all electrical shorts have been repaired.
4. Replace the circuit breaker.
1. Allow a few moments for element to reach operating temperature.
2. Verify that supply voltage matches the heater rating.
3. Replace element.
1. Close doors and windows. Provide additional insulation, install a higher-
wattage heater or multiple heaters if necessary.
2. Adjust thermostat to its lowest setting. If heater continues to run (allow two
minutes for the thermostat to respond), replace thermostat.
3. Refer to thermostat documentation and correct wiring.
1. Clean heater (see "Operation & Maintenance" section for instructions).
1. Heater or fan motor requires replacement.
2. Remove obstruction and press heater reset button (after allowing the unit to
cool). Test heater operation--if reset button has been pressed (be sure to listen
and feel for a click indicating it has been reset), but heater does not run, heater
requires repair or replacement.
1. Adjust thermostat to a higher temperature until heater operates
(see Problem #6 if the problem persists).
2. Press the heater reset button (see "Operation & Maintenance" section for
instructions).
3. A severe over-temperature condition has occurred. Repair or replace heater.
4. Turn on the correct circuit breaker in the main panel.
5. Turn off power at circuit breaker. Check supply wire continuity and proper
connection to heater wires.
6. Turn off power at circuit breaker. Jumper across thermostat terminals. Turn on
main circuit breaker. If heater operates, thermostat is defective and should be
replaced. Remove jumper before operating heater.
Warranty
7.) Vacuum fan area without touching the elements.
8.) Replace grill and secure with screws.
9.) Turn thermostat to desired setting.
10.) Turn power back on at the electrical panel board.
About the Heater Temperature-Limiting Controls
The heater may be protected by two temperature-limiting controls . The first is a
high temperature reset switch, designed to open the heater circuit when exces-
sive operating temperature is detected. The problem must be assessed and the
limit must be reset to resume operation. Further protection may be provided by a
secondary over-temperature switch, which will open the heater circuit in
severe over-temperature conditions, or in the event of component failure. If this
occurs, the heater must be repaired or replaced.
Resetting the Manual-Reset 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 limit reset button is
pressed. After allowing the unit to cool for at least 10 minutes and resolving the
problem causing the limit to trip; use a narrow object such as a ball-point pen to
access the reset button through the lower-right center section of the heater
grill. Press FIRMLY and be sure to listen and feel for a click, indicating it has
been reset.
Note that resetting the manual limit control may not restore heater operation if a
severe over-temperature condition has occurred. See the Troubleshooting
Chart below for more information.
