D. Thermostat Installation and Operation
The kit comes with a programmable wall thermostat and
25’ of thermostat wire. If you need to run more than 25’
make sure you use a continuous strand of 18 to 22 gauge
thermostat wire. For optimum performance your thermostat
should be:
• Mounted on an inside wall, approximately 5’ above the
floor
• Do not locate where there is poor air circulation such as in
a corner, alcove, behind doors, bookcase or other objects
• Located away from drafts, direct sunlight, above a lamp,
television, radiator, a wall next to a window, or direct heat
from the appliance
• Avoid damp environments as this can lead to corrosion
that may shorten thermostat life
• If painting or construction work around, cover the
thermostat completely or wait until work is complete before
installation.
1. Connect your thermostat wire to the W and R terminals
(Figure 23.1).

NOTE:
Ensure bare wire ends are held ALL the way into
the terminal block while the screws are being tightened.
There is a 4 screw terminal block located on the back lower
left corner of the appliance directly above the power cord
inlet. The center 2 screws are for the thermostat wires.
