POWER TO THE
HEATER BEFORE
DOING ANY ELEC-
TRICAL WIRING.
WARNING!
Risk of Fire.
Heater must be
kept clear of all
obstructions:
12" in front and above;
6" on both sides
minimum.
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.

Installation Instructions

PLACEMENT:
For best results, install the Softheat baseboard heater under a window, along an outside wall,
or as close as possible to an outside door. Do not install any baseboard heater below an electrical outlet.
THERMOSTAT:
A thermostat is required. A Cadet wall thermostat or an EBKA-1-24 end cap DPST thermostat kit
is recommended.
STEP 1
AREA OF INSTALLATION
The seam at the junction of the wall and floor
behind the heater should be caulked to prevent
dust from being drawn into the room. The heater
should be set flush against surface of the wall.
When installing a baseboard heater, remove any
obstructions between the back of the unit and the
surface of the wall. Keep at least 12" minimum
from objects hanging above (i.e., drapes).
MOUNTING HEATER TO
STEP 2
BRACKETS
Two mounting brackets are furnished with each
EBHA 500, 750, and 1000 watt heater; and three for
each EBHA 1380 or 1500 watt heater. These
brackets are to be positioned at wall studs 18"
(45.7 cm) or less from each end on all models
except the EBHA 500, which should have brackets
located as close to each end of heater as possible.

location desired, with bottom edges on floor
against wall (See Figure 1). Raise bracket 3/4" (19
mm) above floor for wall-to-wall carpets to
provide free circulation of air from floor into
heater. Fasten bracket to stud with screws
through elongated hole. Place spirit level across
top of brackets and level by loosening elongated
hole screw and tightening when all brackets are
absolutely level (See Figure 2). Finish fastening
brackets firmly to wall studs.

Slip lower edge of heater into
base of brackets (See Figure 3).
Check heater again with spirit
level to be sure it is level (See
Figure 2). If not, it may be nec-
essary to remove and reset
brackets. Once heater is level,
use a blunt punch or chisel to
bend bracket base edge over
lower lip of heater to hold
heater firmly in position.

This heating unit is designed for permanent installa-
tion. All wiring should be routed in compliance with

where applicable. A maximum of No. 10 AWG wire
may be used with this heater. All wiring should be
planned and run before heating units are set in place.
Wiring is done on left side only.
(See Figure 5 for internal heater wiring).
