1. All electrical work and materials must com-
ply with the National Electric Code (NEC), the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA),
and all state and local codes. Canadian instal-
lations must comply with Codes Canada and
provincial codes.
2. Use copper conductors only.
3. DO NOT install the heater directly above bath-
tub or sink. DO NOT install in shower stall area.
Cadet recommends installing your heater at
least 2 feet (61 cm) away to prevent contact
with water.
4. Heater must be connected to a GFCI protected
branch circuit when installed in a bathroom.
5. Heater must be installed in a wall can:
Model CM - wall can model CC or CCSM
6. DO NOT install the heater in a floor, in the ceil-
ing, below a towel bar, behind a door, or any-
where the air discharge may be blocked in any
manner.
7. To reduce the risk of fire, do not store or use
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of the heater.
8. Connect grounding lead to grounding screw
provided. Keep all foreign objects out of heater.
9. Electric heaters must be installed on a circuit
dedicated to electric heaters, they cannot share
a circuit with outlets, lights, or other appliances.

Part One
__________________________
PLACEMENT: Install the Com-Pak Max (Model CM) vertically (recommended), or horizontally with optional grill kit. Note wall can posi-
tion for correct horizontal mounting. NOT APPROVED FOR CEILING MOUNT.
THERMOSTAT: A wall thermostat is required for models without a built-in thermostat. Vertically mounted units can use built-in thermo-
stat. Horizontally mounted units must use a wall 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 floor (See Figures 4a and 4b). How-
ever, Cadet RECOMMENDS 12 inches from adjacent surfaces
and floor 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.
Keeping front of the wall can flush with the finished 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).
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.
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 floor (See Figures 4a & 4b). Howev-
er, Cadet RECOMMENDS 12 inches from adjacent surfaces and
floor for longer and cleaner performance. Heaters must be spaced
at least 3 feet apart.
Vertical Mount:
Cut a hole 8 inches wide by 10¼ inches high
next to a wall stud.
Horizontal Mount:
Cut a hole 10¼ inches wide by 8 inches high
next to a wall stud.
STEP 2
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.
Keeping front of the wall can flush with the finished 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).
(Note: Vertical installation places half round slots on the bottom,
horizontal installation places half round slots to the right).
Proceed to PART TWO.
Route supply wire from the circuit
breaker, to the thermostat, to the wall
can. For models with a built-in thermo-
stat, 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).
