WARNING - Risk of electric shock, fire
and personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This manual contains important instructions that should be followed
during installation and maintenance of the floor-warming system.
Read the following warnings and instructions provided before attempting installation. Failure to do
so could result in cable failure, improper system operation, property damage, bodily injury or death.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions will also void the warranty.
1� Electrical inspection may be required before, during and/or after installation of the Warm
Tiles system� Contact your local electrical inspection authority for more information BEFORE
BEGINNING INSTALLATION�
2� Do not energize coiled heating cable – the cable will overheat or fail�
3� Heating cable must not touch, cross or overlap itself at any point and cable must not be closer
than 2" (50mm) to adjacent cable� This could cause the cable to overheat or fail�
4� Do not install heating cable under any type of nailed-down or stapled flooring� Floor nails and
staples can damage the cable resulting in exposed live electrical parts and/or result in the cable
to overheat or fail�
5� Do not drill or otherwise cut into floors that have Warm Tiles cables – this could result in contact
with live electrical parts or could damage the cable causing it to overheat or fail�
6� Do not use the Warm Tiles system for other types of applications, such as snow melting or
roof de-icing – the cable is not rated for these types of applications� Contact EasyHeat for
professional advice and recommendations on other products for these applications�
7� Do not alter the length of the heating cable to suit a floor area larger or smaller than the
recommended range for that cable� Only the Cold Lead (black cable connected to the heating
cable) may be cut to suit hook-up in the Electrical Connection Box (ECB)� To facilitate product
identification and inspection, ensure that a minimum 6" (150mm) of cold lead with the factory
identification tag is retained within the junction box�
8� The entire heating cable, the Cold Lead Splice and Tail Splice must be embedded in a
cement-based underlayment� The heating cable could overheat if not entirely embedded in
cement-based underlayment� Never coil unused cable and/or place in a wall cavity – the cable
will overheat or fail�
9� Use caution when troweling mortar/cement over heating cables – trowels can become sharp and
may cut heating cable which could damage the ground braid, electrical insulation and/or expose
live heating element�
10� Cables must be at least 1/4" (6mm) below finished floor surface; if cables are exposed, they
could be damaged which would expose live parts and/or cause the cable to overheat or fail�
