Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your heater. Always disconnect power at the circuit breaker before performing any maintenance.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the heater and the grilles with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Dust Removal: Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust and debris from the heating elements and fan blades through the grilles.
• Inspection: Annually inspect the heater for any signs of damage, loose connections, or unusual wear. If any issues are found, contact a qualified technician for repair.

Troubleshooting

If your Cadet Com-Pak Twin Electric Wall Heater is not functioning correctly, refer to the following common issues and solutions:

• Heater Not Turning On:
  • Check the circuit breaker to ensure power is supplied to the heater.
  • Verify the thermostat knob is set to a temperature higher than the current room temperature.
  • Ensure the high-temperature safety shut-off has not been activated. If it has, allow the unit to cool down and reset.
• Insufficient Heat:
  • Confirm the thermostat is set to a sufficiently high temperature.
  • Check for any obstructions blocking the air intake or exhaust grilles.
  • Ensure the heater's wattage is appropriate for the room size and insulation.
• Unusual Noises or Odors:
  • A new heater may emit a slight odor during initial use; this is normal and should dissipate.
  • If unusual or loud noises persist, disconnect power and contact customer support.

For issues not resolved by these steps, contact Cadet customer support or a qualified electrician.
