SANTA FE PELLET INSERT
H. Thermostat Installation
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.
