How do I install for a ceiling mount?
 Mount The Wall Can
STEP 1
Important:
1. For models up to 1,500 Watts – MAXIMUM.
2. Do not mount the heater in low-density ber board or 
false ceilings.
3. Models with a built-in thermostat are not recommended.
REQUIRED MINIMUM distance of 6 inches from adjacent 
surfaces (See Figure 6). However, Cadet RECOMMENDS 
12 inches from adjacent surfaces for longer and cleaner 
performance.
Secure the wall can to studs/rafters on opposite sides (See Fig-
ures 6 and 7) with 4 screws (not provided). The face of the wall 
can must extend 1/2 or 5/8 inch from face of rafters to allow for 
thickness of sheetrock.
 Route Supply Wires
STEP 2
Important: Supply connections must use wires suitable for at least 
167˚F (75˚C).
Route supply wire from the circuit breaker, to the thermostat, to 
the wall can. Remove a knockout from the wall can and attach the 
supply wire with a strain relief connector (not included) leaving 
a minimum of 6 inches wire lead for later use. Connect supply 
ground wire to grounding screw in wall can (See Figure 3). Pro-
ceed to PART TWO.

 Install Heater Assembly
STEP 1
 Install Grill
STEP 2
Secure grill with the screws provided. If you have a built-in thermo-
stat model, slide thermo stat knob onto shaft. Turn power on at the 
electrical panel board.
Warranty is void if any material is sprayed on the element or blower. 
Use a paint mask to cover any exposed areas of the heater if walls 
are to be textured or painted.
Turn the heater face down, element facing down and the motor 
facing you. Connect the supply wires to the heater wires with wire 
connectors (not included) (See Figure 8). Rotate the heater up so 
that the element and fan are facing you, with the fan below the ele-
ment. Insert the bottom edge of the heater assembly into the tabs in 
the bottom lip of the wall can (See Figure 9).
Important: Push wires into bottom of wall can during insertion. Be 
sure that supply wires are not caught between motor and wall can. 
Attach heater assembly at top with screw provided.
