STEP 1
TurnoffthepowertoNuheatMatatthemainpowerboxorhaveacertiedelectrician
disconnectthewiresfromtherelayorjunctionbox.
STEP 2
Performacontinuousinsulationtestwithyourohm/multimeter.Monitorthereadingsonyour
ohm/multimeterasyoureplacethetiletoensurethatthemathasnotbeendamaged.
STEP 3
Useagroutscrapertoscorethegrout1/8”deep
aroundthetiletoberemoved,thismustbedone
carefullybyhand.Donotuseapowertool.
STEP 4
Takearound-headhammerandcarefullybreakup
thetilestartingfromthecenter.Useonlytheforce
requiredtobreakthetile.
STEP 5
Positionacoldchiselatasteepangleandbegin
removingthetilefromthethinset.Whenyounda
matwire,movethechiselparalleltoitremembering
thatwiresarespacedapartbyapproximately11⁄2”
–nevercrossthewiresdirectlywithyourchisel.
STEP 6
Usearound-headhammertobreakuptheremainingthinsetoverthemat.Remembertouse

STEP 7
Locateawireinthemat.Positionacoldchiselbesidethewire.Runyourchiselparalleltothe
wirelinetoremovethethinset–nevercrossthewireswithyourchisel.Carefullyremovethe
remaininggroutaroundthebarespacewithyourcoldchiseltoensurethatthereplacement
tiletsproperly.
STEP 8
Setyourdigitalohm/multimetertothe200ohmssetting.Addalligatorclipstothe
ohm/multimetertomaketestingeasier.Connecttheblackandwhitematleadwirestothe
probesofthemultimeter.Ensurethattheresistancereadingiswithintherangeof+10%to
-5%oftheresistanceratinglistedonyourmattag.Documentyourtestresults.
STEP 9
Tolayyourreplacementtileevenlytothesurroundingtiles,trygrindingdownthebackofthe
tiletoremovesomeofthedepth.
STEP 10
Applyacoatofthinset.Setthetileintoplaceand
ensurethatitislevelwiththeoor.
STEP 11
Testthemat.
STEP 12
ReconnecttheNuheatMatsystem.
