More than one baseboard heater can be wired in
parallel on same circuit (Be sure to check national
and local codes for safety requirements).
Disconnect (see Figure 3) splice "B" or "C" (NOT
BOTH). DO NOT disconnect splice "A". Take one
wire from each disconnected lead and connect to
one supply or thermostat lead. Connect remaining
wire from each heater lead and connect to remain-
ing supply or thermostat lead.
240/208 Volt Baseboard Wiring
3-wire hookup - 2 Hot Wires, 1 Ground
(Be sure to check national and local codes for
safety requirements).
Left Side Wiring (See Figure 4)
Disconnect factory splice "A" or "B" (NOT BOTH).
Connect each supply wire (or thermostat wires) to
each lead wire (factory spliced wires).
Right Side Wiring (See Figure 4)
Disconnect factory splice "C". Connect each supply
wire (or thermostat wires) to each lead wire (facto-
ry spliced wires).
BASEBOARD WIRING
PLACEMENT: For best results, install the baseboard heater under a window, along an outside wall, or as
close as possible to an outside door.
THERMOSTAT: A thermostat is required. A Cadet by Honeywell wall thermostat is recommended for optimum
performance, or you may prefer the convenience of a BTF-1 or 2 thermostat kit.
The seam at the junction of the wall and floor
behind the heaters should be caulked to prevent
dust from being drawn into the room. Heaters
should be set flush against surface of the wall.
When installing baseboard heaters, 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).
STEP 1
AREA OF INSTALLATION
1. Locate wall studs closest to supply wires and posi-
tion heater. NOTE: Wire connection is possible from
either right or left side of the baseboard heater.
2. Pre-drill mounting holes through the back of the
baseboard case, spacing the holes the distance of
at least two wall studs.
3. Remove the wiring compartment cover.
4. Remove the slotted knockout closest to
the supply wires and install a junction
box connector.
5. Pull supply wires through the connector leaving 6”
wire leads for connection to the heater wires.
6. Mount the heater securely to the wall with nails or
screws going into at least two wall studs. NOTE:
You do not
need to remove the element, cover, or
deflector to mount the heater. Baseboard heater may
sit directly on any floor surface, including carpet.
Do not allow carpet to block lower air intake locat-
ed 1” from the bottom.
7. IMPORTANT: Connect the grounding lead to the
grounding pigtail (copper wire) with a connector.
8. Connect the supply wires to the heater wires.

MOUNTING HEATER TO WALL
Installation Instructions
READ ALL INSTRUC-
TIONS AND SAFETY
INFORMATION.
WARNING!
RISK OF
ELECTRICAL
SHOCK. TURN OFF
ALL POWER AT
THE ELECTRICAL
PANEL BOARD
SUPPLYING
POWER TO THE
HEATER BEFORE
DOING ANY ELEC-
TRICAL WIRING.
WARNING!
Risk of Fire.
Heater must be
kept clear of all
obstructions: 12
inches in front and
above; 6 inches 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 exist-
ing heater, check the
labels of the old
heater and replace
using the same volt-
age. 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 sup-
ply will destroy the
heater.
