Hello
To connect a Thermostat to the Avalon Astoria you must use a Milli-Volt T-Stat.
1. Mount thermostat (Tstat)
2. run wire from thermostat to 2 connectors on the lower left hand corner of the Avalon Astoria Circuit board with door open.
the thermostat wires should be on the R (Red) and W (White) teminals and set to heat only.
3. Use Quick disconnect push on connectors and push on the Astoria terminals.
It is recommended to use a thermostat with a Swing Setting set at 1 1/2 or 2 such as a'
Skytech 5301P or a lower priced Ritetemp 6022 or 6025 or Lux TX9000TS T-Stat
If there is no swing setting then I recommend using the thermostat as a timer to prevent igniter issues and on/off issues.
Set 1st time setting to 80 deg F at 3:00 AM and the stove comes on to a lower heat setting. Then the 2nd time setting at 10 AM I set the stat to 50 Deg F to turn the stove off. For the time setting 3 and 4, I keep it set at 50 deg F so the stove stays off.
Simple cheap and works great. No igniter issues!
