* What to do if the solution in your Softheat Baseboard should leak out:
The solution in your Softheat Baseboard is a non-toxic thermal fluid (Material Safety Data Sheet available upon request). This solution is
non-toxic if ingested, and there is no immediate health concern with air quality following a spill. Take adequate precautions to keep
people and animals away from leakage. Non-porous rubber gloves and eye protection should be worn during clean-up if exposure and
contact lasts longer than two hours.
Soak up spill with an absorbent material such as paper towels. Once excess liquid or residue has been absorbed, a non-oxidizing cleanser
such as an orange citrus cleaner can be used to remove any remaining dried residue (first test a hidden section of flooring for colorfastness).
Scrub spill area, then use absorbent material to remove any remaining cleanser. Several applications of the cleanser may be required,
depending on size and amount of spill.
1. Check to be sure unit is level. If gurgling doesn't stop within 30 minutes, unit needs to be replaced.
2. Replace element or heater.
1. Circuit breaker could be positioned incorrectly. Relocate breaker. Check voltage at the heater
between supply wires and make sure it matches required heater voltage.
2. Using Owner’s Guide, verify wires are connected properly and securely with appropriate wire nuts.
If the unit is still not operating, further testing should be done with ohmmeter. Consult an electrician.
1. Immediately discontinue use.* Replace element or heater (elements are not repairable).
1. No solution necessary - typical initial warm-up takes 30-60 minutes.
2. Check voltage at the heater between supply wires and make sure it matches required heater voltage.
1. Close doors and windows. Provide additional insulation, install a higher-wattage heater or multiple
heaters, if necessary.
2. Adjust thermostat to its lowest setting. If heater continues to run (allow two minutes for the
thermostat to respond), replace thermostat.
3. Refer to thermostat documentation and correct wiring.
