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.

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.

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 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.
