Locate or route electrical supply wires
STEP 2
Route the electrical supply wire from the circuit breaker to the wall thermostat, and then to the heater
location.
Remove a knockout from the wall can and attach the supply wire with a cable clamp connector (not
included) leaving a minimum of 6 inches wire lead (See Figure 2).
STEP 3
Mount the wall can
If you haven't installed drywall yet, make sure the front of the wall can extends beyond the front edge
of the wall stud to match the drywall depth (Figure 2).
If you already have drywall installed, rotate the wall can into the cutout legs first. Keep the front of the
wall can flush with the drywall.
Fasten the wall can to a stud (on either left or right side), with two screws (not included) through the
larger holes provided in the wall can (Figure 2).
tip: if not installing at minimum height, for additional support in new construction, legs can bend 90
degrees on the wall can (see Figure 2).
Proceed to STEP 4. If you have a multi-watt model and want to lower the wattage, proceed to HOW
TO CHANGE THE WATTAGE.
