5. Loosen the small compression nut in the large fitting on the replacement thermostat so that the
large fitting will move freely on the capillary tube (the thin, flexible tube). Carefully insert the
replacement thermostat into the cookpot, being careful not to bend the thermostat tube. Position
the tube along the inside of the left leg of the element (as viewed from the front of the cooker)
and secure it in place with two metal wire ties. Apply thread sealer to the large fitting and screw
the fitting securely into the cookpot. When the large fitting is tight, pull gently on the capillary
tube to remove any slack, then screw the small compression nut into the large fitting and tighten.
6. Coil the capillary tube as necessary to achieve a neat installation and attach the terminal block to
the mounting bracket using the screws removed in Step 4. Connect thermostat lead 5C (black) to
the normally closed (NC) terminal and 8C (white) to the common (C) terminal.
