Mount heater to wall
MULTIPLE HEATERS WITH ONE THERMOSTAT (240 or 208 volt only)
More than one heater can be wired in parallel on the same circuit breaker (be sure to check national
and local codes for safety requirements). Additional electrical supply wire and cable clamp connectors
are required, and you’ll need to use a wall thermostat (See Figure 8 on page 6). When wiring multiple
heaters to one thermostat, the heaters must be in the same room.
The maximum amperage load you can put on one circuit breaker is limited to either 80% of the circuit
breaker capacity, or the maximum amperage rating of the thermostat, whichever is lower.

1. Drill holes in shaded areas only and secure to two or three wall studs with wood screws (not
included). IMPORTANT: make sure your heater is level before tightening screws down all the way.
2. Attach the heater front cover.
3. Turn power back on at the main disconnect panel.
4. Proceed to OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.

All SoftHeat baseboards come with a built-in high-temperature safety shuto that stops electricity
owing to the heater if it gets too hot inside. This automatically resets after cooling.
In addition to the standard safety feature, 120 volt SoftHeat baseboards have a unique built-in feature
that stops electricity owing to your heater if it’s connected to the wrong voltage.

supply wire to the orange heater wire on
the left end (Figure 4). On the right end with
a neutral supply, connect the wire labeled
NEUTRAL to the white supply wire (Figure

2. Connect the remaining supply wire to the
remaining heater wire with a wire connector.
3. Tuck all wires back into the wiring compart-
ment, and make sure the connections are
tight.

Please verify installation
After installation, operate your SoftHeat baseboard for at least 30 minutes with the thermostat
set to its maximum temperature. If your room doesn’t get warmer, please contact Cadet directly,
as your electrical supply voltage may not match the heater voltage.
