APPENDIX C: INSTALLING A THERMOSTAT (AC05558)
Using a thermostat will help you maintain a constant temperature throughout the house. A
low voltage thermostat (24 volts) is required. A fixed wall mount or hand held model can be
used.
Note: Thermostat manufacturer’s instructions always override the information
published in the following section.
Thermostat location
Location of the thermostat is very important to obtain comfort and efficiency from your
stove. Locate the thermostat 4 to 5 feet above the fl oor in accordance with applicable
building codes. Install the thermostat in a location that provides good air fl ow
characteristics and avoid areas behind doors, near corners, air vents, direct sunlight or
heat generating devices. If the thermostat is installed in the same room as the stove, it
should also be located at least 15 to 20 feet from the stove. To prevent cycling, you should
avoid installing the thermostat on a poorly insulated outside wall or directly in front of the
stove.
