Verify power has been turned off before starting any work!
• PLACEMENT:
For best results, install heater beneath a cabinet in the toe kick area. Install the
Under Cabinet Heater (Model UCH) horizontally. Do not install the UCH heater in the floor. Headers
and bracing are not necessary.
• WARNING!
Vinyl floor manufacturers warn that some vinyl may discolor from temperatures in
excess of 110° F (43°C). See your vinyl floor manufacturer for temperature specifications for your
vinyl floor covering.
• CONTROLS:
A thermostat is required. An electronic wall thermostat is recommended for ultimate
control and comfort. An optional field mount thermostat kit is also available, model UCHT.
Connect the supply ground wire to the green grounding screw provided (See Figure 3).
Note: All wire connections must be made inside the heater (Figure 3).
STEP 3
Connect supply wires
STEP 1
Determine area of installation
20-1/8"
(51.1 cm)
3-1/2"
(8.9 cm)
6"
(15.2 cm)
STEP 2
Locate or route electrical supply wires
If you have a wall thermostat, route supply wire from circuit breaker to thermostat to rough opening.
For models with an optional field mount thermostat kit, route supply wire from circuit breaker to rough
opening. Allow enough wire to extend 12 inches (30.5 cm) beyond the opening. Remove four screws
from lid and place it aside. Insert supply wire through the hole at the back of the heater and attach it with
a cable clamp connector, leaving 6 inches (15.2 cm) wire lead for later use (See Figure 2).
