Thermostat
(Part # 99300650)
The thermostat allows the main burner to turn on and off automatically for consistent room temperature.
Follow the directions below to install.
1. With the gas shut off and the heater unplugged, remove the ashlip control housing by unscrewing
the three attachment screws with a 7/16" nutdriver. Carefully lay the ashlip control housing face
down in front of the heater.

2. Locate the 2" long green jumper wire. It can be found near the on/off switch. Remove the
jumper wire from the two green wires it attaches to (one leading to the on/off switch, the other to
the gas control valve - see the illustration on the following page).
3. The thermostat wire enters the ashlip control housing in the same location the power cord does.
Use a pair of slip joint pliers to remove the strain relief that holds the power cord in place (see
the illustration below). Unwind the thermostat wire and route the end with quick connects
through the strain relief and to a location near the on/off switch. Insert the strain relief back in
the hole until it snaps into place.

To remove the strain relief, use a pair
of slip joint pliers to press from the top
and bottom of the relief. Pull the relief
out once it becomes loose.
4. Attach the thermostat wire to the two green wires that were detached in step 2. Make sure to
route the thermostat wire through the notch in the ashlip control housing partition if it entered
through the center or left side.
