Recommendations

• Never cut, shorten or modify the heating cable in any way; it will change the electrical characteristics of the cables and possibly cause overheating and a fire.
• Never allow the cable to overlap or cross over itself.
• Do not use in exterior applications.
• Do not use with solid, hardwood flooring.
• If LVT is being installed, ensure that the manufacturer’s instructions allow for use with radiant heating systems and that the LVT is acclimated at least 24 hours before installation.
• Do not place objects directly on top of the floor that could impede/trap heat emanating from the floor heating system including but not limited to flush-to-floor furniture, rubber or memory-foam mats, and mattresses. These objects could cause unsafe temperatures to be reached underneath these objects that may damage the object and/or the flooring material. 
• Do not install Mapeheat Cable in direct contact with any combustible surfaces, or install it in/on/under walls or in closets.
• Do not lay heating cable under cabinets, fixtures or appliances.
• Do not extend Mapeheat Cable beyond the room or area in which it originates.
• Do not use over cracks or control joints subject to out-of-plane movement, or where in-plane movement exists greater than 3 mm.
• Do not use over Woodplank flooring, metal, fibreglass, laminate or any other dimensionally unstable substrate.
• Do not use in areas at will be constantly submerged or subject to standing water.
• Do not use on bituminous substrates.
• Do not use on highly flammable material.
• The total R-value of layers on top of heating products should not exceed R value of 0,15m²K/W.
• Floor temperature is limited by the thermostat to +40°C. The typical operating temperature range of Mapeheat systems is +27°C to +35°C.
