Your Pellet Stove can be operated manually or by a thermostat. The stove comes from the factory in the
manual mode. To operate in the two "Thermostat" modes, a low voltage thermostat must be installed.
To install the thermostat:
1. Unplug the stove from the electrical outlet. Remove the Surround and right side Cabinet Side (See
"Surround and Cabinet Side Removal" on page 14) and remove the 2 screws holding the main board
to the side of the hopper.
2. Locate the double screw terminal wiring block at the top of the board (See Figure 15), loosen the two
screws on the block. Insert one of the wires from the thermostat into one of the slots and tighten the
screw. Repeat this process for the other thermostat wire.
(See "Thermostat Operation:" on page 19) for thermostat operation modes.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Follow the Thermostat manufacturers installation and set-up instructions. Failure to fol-
low manufacturers instructions could result in a malfunction. Pay special attention to the thermostat location
requirements. If the location requirements are not followed, the appliance may operate erratically or failure
may occur.
Do not mount the thermostat where it may be affected by:
•
Radiant heat from the stove, sun or other heat sources.
•
Drafts or dead spots behind doors or in corners.
•
Hot or cold air from ducts.

Outside Air
Connecting the True North TN40 stove to outside combustion air is optional, but recommended except
when required by local building codes. The stove’s air intake will accept 2”(51mm) ID non combustible
pipe to accommodate outside air installations. The air intake on the exterior of the home should always be
located substantially below the flue termination and terminate with a screen cover to keep out weather and
pests.
Outside air can be provided several ways.
•
thru an ash clean out with a vented grill in place of the clean out external cover.
•
A hole thru the back of the firepace.
•
Running a 2" flex liner up the chimney system past the throat seal plate or the chinmey top seal .
