Note:
Now is the perfect opportunity to clean your
heater. See original product Owner’s Guide or go
to cadetheat.com/support/install-help#install
and nd our detailed cleaning instruction video.
TOOLS REQUIRED:
WARNING
Turn the electrical power off at the electrical panel board (circuit breaker or fuse box) and lock or tag
the panel board door to prevent someone from turning on power while you are working on the heater.
Failure to do so could result in serious electrical shock, burns, or possible death.
IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WORKING WITH ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, UNABLE TO FOLLOW
THESE GUIDELINES, OR DO NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT, CONSULT A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN
1. It is important that you verify power has been turned off and
no power is going to the heater before proceeding. Circuit
breakers are often not marked correctly and turning the
wrong breaker off could mean electricity is owing to the
heater, even if the heater does not appear to be working.
2. Once you verify the power has been turned off correctly,
proceed to the next step.
3. Please see your product Owner’s Guide for additional
installation, operation and maintenance instructions for both
element and heater. Owner’s Guides may be downloaded at
cadetheat.com.
