Finding the Model and Manufacturing Date

Apex72 Cadet models and manufacturing date appear in DD-MM-YY format (Day-Month-Year) on the rating label at the bottom of the air outlet grille. If you cannot see the Mfg.Date from outside the unit, carefully remove the outlet grille. Removing the grille makes it easier to read the model number, rated voltage, rated wattage, manufacture date, and certification rating.

The model number is located right below the Cadet logo and the Manufacture Date (Mfg.Date) is found below the listed wattage, shown below:
