Wall Thermostat Installation
Use Jøtul Thermostat #129706 or a 750 millivolt DC
two-wire circuit thermostat to automatically control
your fireplace operation. The thermostat should be
placed in the same room as the heater, typically 5’ off
the floor. Avoid drafty areas or any area that may
affect the accuracy of the thermostat.
The thermostat should be connected to the
GI425 using a minimum of 16 gauge wire with a
maximum length of 35 feet of wire.
Connect the two thermostat wire leads to the
two lower terminals on the terminal block located to
the right of the ON/OFF/T’STAT switch. Do not
overtighten the connections. IT IS NOT NECESSARY
TO DISCONNECT ANY OTHER WIRES. See Figure 16.
At the thermostat, the two wires should be
connected to the two connections screw on the
thermostat base plate per the manufacturer’s
instructions.
For thermostatic function, place the ON/OFF/T-STAT
switch in the T-STAT position and the pilot flame
must be lit.
Remote Control
The optional Jøtul Remote Control can be installed
on the GI425 gas fireplace. Using the wire supplied
with the remote, connect the remote directly to the
gas control valve.
Connect one receiver lead to the terminal
labelled TH. Connect the other receiver lead to the
terminal labeled TH/TP. DO NOT DISCONNECT ANY
OTHER WIRES FROM THE VALVE, AND DO NOT OVER
TIGHTEN THE TERMINAL SCREWS.
Place the receiver unit under the control valve
on the floor of the fireplace cabinet.
CAUTION:
LABEL ALL WIRES PRIOR TO DIS-
CONNECTION WHEN SERVICING
THE CONTROLS. WIRING ERRORS
CAN CAUSE IMPROPER AND DAN-
GEROUS OPERATION. ALWAYS
VERIFY PROPER OPERATION AFTER
SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.
