Default Wiring Thermostat for KickSpace Heater

TheScullster wrote:

More kitchen stuff....
I intend to fit a Myson Kick Space heater to avoid using wall space for a
radiator.
In the "technical" manual downloaded, the instruction for connection of a
room stat states "If a remote room thermostat is required, wire it into the
fused spur at this stage".

All sounds far too vague for my liking!

So the questions a

What room stat to use?


How about something like:
http://www.screwfix.com/prods/84704/Plumbing/Central-Heating-Controls/Horstmann-HRT2-Room-Thermostat

Cable or flex to this stat and spec?
How is this "wired in to the fused spur"? Does the stat simply act as a
switch and need wiring across the live from the fused spur to the heater?

You can download instructions on the above page, (some
interesting translations) it is an active device, so you need the
neutral, but the aim is to switch the live supply to the heater.
Once you leave the fused spur, AIUI you can use flex, of a size
appropriate for the fuse rating you have chosen.
