    Most likely it will be:
    Line in white to one heater wire
    Line in black to one t-stat wire
    The other t-stat wire to the other heater wire.

    I am concerned because I don't remember ever seeing a t-stat with black and white wires.
    Also, it may be factory wired somehow.

    Well, without seeing the instructions this is an educated guess:

    White from wall to white from heater.
    Black from wall to black from t-stat.
    Other black from t-stat to black from heater.
