APPENDIX D: INSTALLING A THERMOSTAT
Using a thermostat will help you maintain a constant temperature throughout the house. A low
voltage thermostat is required. A fixed wall mount or hand held model can be used.
Note: Thermostat manufacturer’s instruction always overrides 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. 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.
Wired thermostat
Before installing the thermostat, unplug the stove from the power outlet.
First, connect the two thermostat wires to the terminal block located at the rear on the right hand
side of the stove while facing it. Loosen the two middle screws and insert the wires in the terminals.
Tighten the two screws. Then, open the thermostat and connect the wires as per manufacturer’s
instructions.
