4. Run thermostat wire from the wall box opening to a floor or
wall opening beneath the left side of the wall furnace’s rear
shroud near the temperature sensor. Ensure enough wire
extends through the openings to make the connections. It
may be necessary to remove the wall furnace from the rear
shroud to create the thermostat wire opening and route the
thermostat wires.
5. Remove the wall furnace’s front panel and turn off gas and
power to the wall furnace. If the wall furnace needs to be
removed from the rear shroud, disconnect the wall furnace
from the gas line and venting. Remove the four screws se-
curing the rear shroud then move the wall furnace away from
the wall. See the venting section of the wall furnace installa-
tion instructions.
6. Connect two thermostat wires to the wire leads on the con-
nector harness assembly provided with this kit using two wire
nuts, note wire color. Route the end of the plug through an
upper slot in the side of the rear shroud.
See Figure 3.

7. If the wall furnace has been removed from the rear shroud
move the wall furnace back into position and re-attach the
gas line and venting. Re-attach the rear shroud with the
screws removed in step 5. See the venting section of the
wall furnace installation instructions.

The cover plate may be re-finished prior to installation
to match the room decor. The hole in the center of the
plate MUST remain clear for the temperature sensor to
function properly.
Caution:
If re-finishing the cover plate after installation, DO NOT
paint or cover the temperature sensor.
