OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Wall thermostat
The optional wall thermostat will automatically keep your room at an even temperature. You need
to choose a convenient location for the thermostat. Remember that it should be at least 10 feet
from the stove and away from direct radiation of the fire. Run the correct gauge wire (see table)
from the valve to the thermostat and wire as shown in the diagram.(on next page)
To operate your EXCEL-FIRE using the wall thermostat, follow the lighting procedure and set the
gas control to the ON position. Simply set your wall thermostat to a comfortable temperature and
the stove will do the rest.
During the heating season, you do not have to touch the gas control valve. If you would like the
stove off for a while, just set the thermostat to its minimum setting. However if you do not need
the stove for quite some time, follow the procedure outlined in the SHUTDOWN section. This will
extinguish the pilot light as well.
