THERMOSTAT
For best results, use a Cadet wall thermostat or an EBKA 1-24 end cap DPST thermostat kit. It is recommend-
ed that a thermostat be provided for each room. In extremely large rooms where multiple heaters are being
used, a Cadet low-voltage thermostat with a relay will give the most comfortable results. The location of the
thermostat should be selected carefully. Thermostats should not be located near drafts from an open
doorway or within 18" (45.7cm) of an outside wall, or in direct sunlight or unusual heat sources. A television
set or appliance that builds up heat near a thermostat will prevent the thermostat from functioning properly.
A wiring diagram illustrating typical wiring of the thermostat is included in literature provided with the ther-
mostat, and on a simple diagram provided on the thermostat.
Illustrated in Figures 6, 7, and 8 are wiring diagrams typical of a single unit controlled by a single pole ther-
mostat, a single unit controlled by a double pole thermostat, and two units controlled by a double pole ther-
mostat.

Operation & Maintenance
How To Operate Your Heater
1. Switch the power on at the electrical panel
board. PLEASE NOTE: Upon initial start-up, the
heater may emit a burning odor. This is not
dangerous and is due to a protective lubricant
used during the manufacturing process.
2. Turn the thermostat fully clockwise.
3. When the room reaches your comfort level, turn
the thermostat knob counterclockwise until
a clicking sound is heard (if using a digital
thermostat, set at desired room temperature).
The baseboard will automatically cycle around
this preset temperature.
How Softheat Hydronic Baseboards Work
Inside a Softheat baseboard a hermetically sealed water and
anti-freeze solution is heated by an electric heating element. As
the solution is heated, warmth is generated and transmitted
through dozens of aluminum fins along the heater tube (it
could initially take 30 to 60 minutes to warm a room, depending
on the room size). As the warmth spreads outward from the
heater, cooler air from the floor and wall naturally flow toward
the base of the heater. "Convection air heating" (See Figure 9),
means no noisy fans are needed and the room is warmed with
even, comfortable heat. There will be no cold and hot spots in
the room as found with other types of heaters. Softheat won't
blow or burn dust particles, making it allergist recommended for
patients with respiratory ailments or allergies.

Maintenance
Softheat hydronic baseboards are virtually
maintenance-free. However, a certain amount of
lint and dust will accumulate inside the unit,
which periodically should be removed.
1. 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. Remove front panel.
3. Vacuum inside the unit, being careful not to
damage the aluminum fins on the heater tube.

vided. Keep all
foreign objects out
of heater.
WARNING!
Risk of Fire. Heaters
must be kept clean
of lint, dirt and
debris.
Failure to follow
warnings may
cause heater to

WARNING!
Risk of Electrical
Shock. When
working with elec-
tricity, turn the elec-
trical power off at
the electrical panel
board and lock or
tag the circuit
breaker door.
Failure to do so
could result in
serious electrical
shock, burns, or pos-
sible death!
