-------------------------------------------------------
The first step is to read Schluter's Ditra-Heat manual to determine if your subfloor is properly installed.
Step two is to mix either modified thin-set mortar or Schluter's ALL-SET to a consistency that's recommended for Ditra-Heat.
Step three is to dampen the subfloor and burn the mortar into the subfloor using the flat side of a trowel. Then to directionally trowel the mortar such that all the trowel ridges face the same direction.
Step four us to compress Ditra Heat mats into the mortar and compress the trowel ridges by using a trowel or wood float over the top of the mat. Check coverage by pulling up one corner of the Ditra- Heat mat.
