TOOLS REQUIRED
• Phillips Screwdriver
• Insulated Wire Connectors
• Wire Strippers
• Wire Cutters
The SBFT2 thermostat must be mounted in the same
wiring compartment as the supplied electrical power to
your Cadet Electric Baseboard. Both wiring compartments
are equipped with a grounding screw.
The installation of the SMART-BASE thermostat may
require a slight adjustment of the panel across the front
of the heater, to allow the thermostat to fit in the wiring
compartment unobstructed. To do so, remove both
wiring compartment covers and unlatch the bottom of the
front panel from its hangers. (Use a rubber-coated tool,
or hammer handle to remove the panel. Carefully pry
upward to remove.)
Next, slide the panel out of the wiring compartment with
the supplied electrical power, until its edge is just hanging
over the partition. Hold the panel and snap it back on to
its hangers. The thermostat will now have enough room
to fit into the wiring compartment.
