THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION

9The Countryside can be installed with and operated by a wall-mounted thermostat. However, a wall thermostat is not provided with the stove. A wall thermostat can be purchased from your reseller or at most home improvement centers or hardware stores. The wall thermostat needs to be for a low voltage system. Most thermostats will have instructions with them as to where to place them in your room. Please follow the thermostat manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

9There are two (2) male spade terminals on the back of the control panel near the center. Connect the two wires from the wall thermostat, one to each of these spade terminals. Needed: 2 female ¼” insulated terminals.

9Make sure that the wires are routed to protect them from hot surfaces. Do not cross wires with circuitry on board.

9The circuit board is located on the left side of the unit. Remove the ¼” hex head screw and pull circuit board towards you. Lift the circuit board out of the housing. Do not crimp or stretch the wires leading from circuit board pigtail. (Unplug the power cord before working on unit)

9Reinstall in reverse procedure.

It is a good idea to use the thermostat option to achieve uniform control over your heating needs. By setting the unit on a number 3 setting (this is the normal setting but can be any setting from 2-high) for high fire and letting the wall thermostat control it, the fire will drop down into a pilot fire after the home reaches the desired temperature.

If you are gone and the home requires heat, the unit will automatically resume the high setting when the thermostat calls for heat.
