or 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.
1. Read all instructions before using this heater.
2. Read all information labels. Verify that the electrical
supply wires are the same voltage as the heater.
3. All electrical work and materials must comply with the
National Electric Code (NEC), the Occupational Safety
and Health Act (OSHA), and all state and local codes.
4. Connect the grounding pigtail (copper wire) provided
in the wall can to the supply ground wire.
5. If you need to install a new circuit or need additional
wiring information, consult a qualified electrician.
6. Protect electrical supply from kinks, sharp objects, oil,
grease, hot surfaces or chemicals.
7.
WARNING
Overheating or fire may occur. DO NOT install the heater
in a floor, ceiling, or behind doors.
8.
WARNING
Fire or explosion may occur. DO NOT install heater in any
area where combustible vapors, gases, liquids, or excessive
lint or dust are present.
9.
WARNING
Burn Hazard. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid
burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Use
extreme caution when any heater is used by or near
children or invalids.
10.
WARNING
Risk of Electrical Shock. Connect grounding lead to
grounding wire provided. Keep all foreign objects out
of heater.
11.

Installation Instructions
PLACEMENT: For best results install the NLW heater on an inside wall. Headers and bracing are not
necessary. NOTE: The wall can must be installed in the TOP UP position only.
THERMOSTAT: A built-in double pole thermostat is included.
How do I install for new construction?
STEP 1
Mount The Wall Can
The NLW series REQUIRES a minimum distance
of 6 inches from adjacent surfaces and 6 inches
from the floor (See Figure 4). However, Cadet
RECOMMENDS 12 inches from all adjacent
surfaces and 12 inches from the floor for longer
and cleaner performance. Heaters must be
spaced at least 3 feet apart. Secure the wall can
to the studs with four screws (not provided) as
shown in Figure 1.

READ ALL
INSTRUCTIONS
AND SAFETY
INFORMATION
Part One
IMPORTANT!
It is extremely
important you
verify that the
electrical supply
wires are the same
voltage as the
heater (i.e. 120 volt
heater to 120 volt
power supply and
240 volt heater
to 240 volt power
supply). If
replacing an
existing heater,
check the labels of
the old heater and
replace using the
same voltage.
Hooking a 240 volt
heater to a 120 volt
power supply will
drastically reduce
the heater's
output. Hooking a
120 volt heater to a
240 volt power sup-
ply will destroy the
heater. Connecting
your heater to an
incompatible
power supply will
void the warranty.

Route Supply Wires
Route supply wire from circuit breaker to top of wall
can. Remove knockout and attach the supply wire
with a strain relief connector, leaving 6 inches of
wire lead for later use. Connect supply ground wire
to grounding screw in wall can (See Figure 3).
Proceed to PART TWO.
STEP 2
Route Supply Wires
Route supply wire from circuit breaker to top
of wall can. Remove knockout and attach the
supply wire with a strain relief connector, leaving
6 inches of wire lead for later use. Connect
supply ground wire to grounding screw in wall
can (See Figure 3). Proceed to PART TWO.
STEP 3
Mount The Wall Can
Insert wall can into opening. Keeping front of
wall can flush with wall, secure to wall stud with
four screws.
STEP 4
Connect Ground Wire
Connect supply ground wire to grounding screw
in wall can (See Figure 3). Proceed to PART TWO. 3
Assembly
Place heater assembly inside wall can
and secure with two screws (provided).
Wire
Connect the 2 heater wires to the 2
supply wires using electrical insulated
wire connectors. Push wires into
wiring junction box.
Grill
Secure grill with screws provided and
attach thermostat knob.
Important: Before turning on power, be
sure the thermostat knob is turned counter
clockwise to the lowest setting, and the
switch is in the FAN or AUTO position.
Installation Instructions
WARNING
Risk of Electrical
Shock. Connect
grounding lead
to grounding wire,
or screw provided.
Keep all foreign
objects out of
heater.
WARNING
Risk of Fire.
Heater must be
kept clear of all
obstructions: a
minimum of 3 feet
in front; 6 inches on
both sides and
above. Heaters
must be kept clean
of lint, dirt and
debris.
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 turn-
ing on power while
you are working on
the heater. Failure
to do so could
result in serious
electrical shock,
burns, or possible
death.

Operation & Maintenance
How to operate your heater
Fan cycling with heat
1. Turn fan switch to the auto position and turn
the thermostat knob fully clockwise.
2. When the room reaches your comfort level,
turn the thermostat knob counterclockwise
until the heater turns off. The heat and the
fan will automatically cycle around this
preset temperature.
3. To reduce the room temperature, turn the knob
counterclockwise. To increase the room
temperature, turn the knob clockwise.
Fan running continuously with intermittent heat
(Determined by thermostat setting)
1. Turn the fan switch to the FAN position and
turn the thermostat knob fully clockwise.
2. When the room reaches your comfort level, turn
the thermostat knob counterclockwise until the
heater turns off. The heater will automatically
cycle around this preset temperature, however
the fan will run constantly.
3. To reduce the room temperature, turn the knob
counterclockwise. To increase the room
temperature, turn the knob clockwise.
Fan running continuously with no heat
1. Turn the fan switch to the FAN position.
2. Turn the thermostat knob just above the
OFF position.
Maintenance
As needed, or every six months minimum.
1.
WARNING! Before removing grill, turn the
electrical power off at the electrical panel
board (circuit breaker or fuse box). Lock or tag
the panel board door to prevent someone from
accidentally turning the power on while you
are working on the heater. Failure to do so
could result in serious electrical shock, burns,
or possible death.
2. 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 flowing to the heater,
even if the heater does not appear to be working.
If you are uncomfortable working with electrical
appliances, unable to follow these guidelines,
or do not have the necessary equipment, consult
a qualified electrician.
3. Once you verify the power has been turned off
correctly, proceed to the next step.
4. Remove screws and take off grill.
5. Wash grill with hot soapy water and dry
immediately.
6. While holding fan (to avoid damage or bending),
use a hair dryer or vacuum on blow cycle to blow
debris through the element (Do not touch element).
7. Vacuum fan area without touching the elements.
8. Replace grill and secure with screws.
9. Turn thermostat to desired setting.
10.Turn power back on at the electrical panel board.
About the Heater Temperature-Limiting Controls
The heater is protected by a high temperature manual
reset limiting control, designed to open the heater
circuit when excessive operating temperatures are
detected. The problem must be assessed and the
limit must be reset to resume operation.
Resetting the Manual-Reset Limit Control
If the manual reset limit control has opened the
heater circuit due to excessive operating
temperatures, the heater will not work until the limit
reset button is pressed. After allowing the unit to
cool for at least 10 minutes, turn the electrical
power off at the electrical panel board (circuit
breaker or fuse box) and remove the grill. Once the
problem causing the limit to trip has been resolved
(typically heater is blocked or needs cleaning), push
button located on the left side of the heat box. Press
FIRMLY, and be sure to listen and feel for a click,
indicating it has been reset.
