Help wiring room thermostat to exhaust!

Hi. I've bought a normal dial room thermostat for my exhaust fan to stop the room getting too cold. I'll be using a neutal, live, and earth wire, all from the mains plug, to the thermostat, then wires connecting that to the light dimmer I've already got wired up and finally to the exhaust fan. The manufacturer doesn't provide good instructions so here are some pictures. Going by the way I wired up the dimmer I think the live in wire goes into the com on the thermostat but otherwise I don't know where goes what. Thank you in advance.

Xcon is correct. You will fry that thermostat if you run 110V thru it. Thermostats typically run off of "control power" which is stepped down in the heating/cooling unit.

Thank you but I'm almost sure that this thermostat takes 230/110 volts, you can see it in the pic of the circuit diagram. Does anyone know how to wire this up?

That's a relief. Your link though talks about loads and live terminals though - I need a bit more specific help if you know?

I bought a thermostatically controlled switch that is made to control an attic fan. They are cheap compared to all the high dollar controllers at the hydro shop. I think I paid $20.00 fro it. Temp can be set from 70 deg to 130 deg. I simply wired it to control a 4 gang receptacle box so I can plug in my fans, and portable heater. Simple, easy, cheap. That's what I like.
