1. WARNING
Verify that the electrical supply wires are the same
voltage as the heater.
2. If replacing an existing heater, check the label
of the old heater.
3. All electrical work and materials must comply
with the National Electric Code (NEC), the Occu-
pational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), and all
state and local codes.
4. If you need to install a new circuit or need addi-
tional wiring information, consult a qualied elec-
trician.
5. Use copper conductors only.
6. WARNING
Risk of Electrical Shock. DO NOT install the heat-
er directly above bathtub or sink. DO NOT install
in shower stall area (Manufacturer recommends a
minimum 2 foot clearance).
7. Heater must be installed in a wall can:
Model CS Wall Can CC
Model CST Wall Can WC1
8. WARNING
Risk of Fire. DO NOT install the heater in a oor,
in the ceiling, below a towel bar, behind a door,
or anywhere the air discharge may be blocked in
any manner.
9. WARNING
Fire or Explosion May Occur. A heater has hot
and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it
in areas where gasoline, paint, or ammable va-
pors or liquids are used or stored.
10. WARNING
Risk of Electrical Shock. Connect grounding lead
to grounding screw provided. Keep all foreign ob-
jects out of heater.
11. WARNING
Risk of Fire. This heater is hot when in use.
Caution—High Temperature. Risk of Fire. Keep
electrical cords, drapery, furnishings, and other
combustibles at least 3 feet from the front of the
heater and 6 inches above and on both sides.

Part One
__________________________
PLACEMENT: Install the Com-Pak, model CS, vertically (recommended), horizontally, or in the ceiling. For ceiling mounting, refer to
instructions on page 4. The Com-Pak Twin (Model CST) must be installed with the arrows in the wall can pointing upwards.
THERMOSTAT: A wall thermostat is required for models without a built-in thermostat. A Cadet electronic thermostat is recommended
for ultimate control and comfort.
REQUIRED MINIMUM distance of 6 inches from adjacent surfac-
es and 4-1/2 inches from the oor (See Figures 4 & 5). How-
ever, Cadet RECOMMENDS 12 inches from adjacent surfaces
and oor for longer and cleaner performance. Heaters must be
spaced at least 3 feet apart.
Review the wall can label for correct direction (as noted by the UP
arrows) before mounting the wall can to the stud. In the VERTI-
CAL mounting position the element of the heater assembly will be
at the TOP. In the HORIZONTAL mounting position the element of
the heater assembly will be to the LEFT.
Model CS: Keeping front of the wall can ush with the nished
wall surface (See Figure 1), secure the wall can to the stud with 2
screws (not included) through holes provided in the wall can. The
rubber shim provided may be attached to the side of the wall can
to square the wall can to the stud (See Figure 2).
Model CST: Keeping front of the wall can ush with the nished
wall surface (See Figure 1), secure the wall can to both wall studs
with 4 screws (not included) through holes provided in the wall
can.
How do I install for new construction?
STEP 1
Mount The Wall Can
Figure 1
Figure 2
Face of wall
can must
extend 1/2
inch or 5/8
inch from
face of stud
to allow for
thickness of
sheetrock.
Attach wall can to stud
with screws. (Model CS
shown)
STEP 2
Route Supply Wires
Route supply wire from the circuit breaker, to the thermostat, to
the wall can. For models with a built-in thermostat, route supply
wire from the circuit breaker 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). Proceed to PART TWO.
How do I install in an existing wall?
STEP 1
Cut A Hole In The Wall
REQUIRED MINIMUM distance of 6 inches from adjacent surfac-
es and 4-1/2 inches from the oor (See Figures 4 & 5). However,
Cadet RECOMMENDS 12 inches from adjacent surfaces and
oor for longer and cleaner performance. Heaters must be spaced
at least 3 feet apart.
Model CS: Cut a hole 8 inches wide by 10-1/4 inches high next to
a wall stud.
Model CST: Cut a hole 14-5/8 inches wide by 10-1/4 inches high
next to a wall stud.

STEP 3
Route Supply Wires
Mount The Wall Can
Review the wall can label for correct direction (as noted by the UP
arrows) before mounting the wall can to the stud. In the VERTI-
CAL mounting position the element of the heater assembly will be
at the TOP. In the HORIZONTAL mounting position the element of
the heater assembly will be to the LEFT. Insert wall can into wall
opening.
Model CS: Keeping front of the wall can ush with the nished
wall surface, secure the wall can to the stud with 2 screws (not
included) through holes provided in the wall can. The rubber shim
provided may be attached to the side of the wall can to square the
wall can to the stud (See Figure 2).
Model CST: Keeping front of the wall can ush with the nished
wall surface (See Figure 1), secure the wall can to both wall studs
with 4 screws (not included) through holes provided in the wall
can.
Proceed to PART TWO.
Route supply wire from the circuit
breaker, to the thermostat, to the
wall can. For models with an in-built
thermostat, route supply wire from the
circuit breaker to the wall can. Remove
a knockout from the wall can and attach
the supply wire with a strain relief con-
nector (not included) leaving a minimum
of 6 inches wire lead for later use. Con-
nect supply ground wire to grounding
screw in wall can (See Figure 3).
