5. Connect the grounding lead to the green grounding screw on the side you’re wiring.
• KNOW YOUR VOLTAGE and CHECK YOUR BREAKER!
• All baseboards require two supply wires and a grounding lead. For 240 volts, both supply wires
(black and white) are hot. For 120 volts, one supply wire is hot (black) and one is neutral (white). For
208 volts, applications vary and both supply wires (black and white) can be hot or you may have one
hot and one neutral.
STEP 2
Wire connection
If you’re wiring a WALL thermostat for your heater, follow the instructions below. Your electrical supply
wires should be routed from the circuit breaker to the wall thermostat, and then to the heater.

3. Remove one of the knockouts in the wiring com-
partment. We recommend using the rear knockout.
If you use the bottom one, you must protect the
wire with electrical tubing and add a conduit con-
nector (not included) at the oor.

1. When wiring on either end, connect one
supply wire to one of the heater wires with a
wire connector (not included).
A. For 240 volts, or 208 volts with two hot
supply wires, both ends connect the same,
it doesn’t matter which heater wire (Figure 2
or Figure 6).
B. For 120 volts, connect the neutral (white)
supply wire to the white heater wire on the
left end (Figure 3). On the right end, connect
the wire labeled NEUTRAL to the white
supply wire (Figure 5).

4. Install a cable clamp connector (not
included). Pull supply wires through the
cable clamp connector leaving 6-inch (15.2
cm) wire leads.
If you’re wiring a BUILT-IN model EBKN thermostat for your heater, go to those instructions now
(included with your thermostat) and follow that installation. When complete, proceed to Mount heater
to wall on page 5.

IMPORTANT!
FOR LEFT END WIRING, cut only one factory connection. For 240 volts, you can cut any
connection. For 120 volts, cut the one with the white wire. For 208 volts, cut the one with the
orange wire.
FOR RIGHT END WIRING, cut the one factory connection.
After cutting the factory connection on the end you’re wiring, you will have two wires to connect to
the power supply.
