Specifications

Thermostat should be mounted:

on the existing metal electrical box that controls your heater.

Note: Ensure that the thermostat is not near heat sensitive / flammable material such as exposed wood

or wallpaper. The normal surface temperature of the thermostat is 113° to 122°F (45° to 50°C)

while in operation. The thermostat is rated to operate safely at these temperatures, but should be

kept away from fire hazards.

For NEW home installation, the metal electrical box and thermostat should NOT be mounted:

near temperature-radiating objects that may cause false readings

(For example: in front of a window, next to a door leading outside, or near the heat from a lamp,

direct sunlight, or a fireplace)

near concealed pipes and chimneys.

in areas with poor air circulation, such as behind a door or in an alcove.
