Controlling Your system

WarmlyYours recommends a Class-A GFCI, UL/CSA/ETL or similar NRTL listed

thermostat to control the Environ™ Flex Rolls. A programmable thermostat will

allow you to set your floor warm-up time and will provide you increased energy

efficiency, by programming your wake up, away, bedtime, and vacation settings.
Most wood laminate manufacturers specify that their floors should not be

subjected to temperatures in excess of 85ºF (29ºC). The only reliable way to

achieve this is to install a temperature sensor directly under the Environ™ Flex

Rolls. Check with your laminate manufacturer to see their recommendations for

installing electric radiant heat under their floors.
The WarmlyYours SmartStat™ programmable thermostat can be programmed

to the temperature recommended by the laminate manufacturer.

Professional electric Installation

Attention: some local codes require that a licensed electrician

complete the final connection of the floor heating system.

The installation of electrical systems presents a risk of fire and electrical shock,

which may result in personal injury. Caution should always be taken to guard

against these risks. A qualified electrician should connect Environ™ Flex Rolls to

the thermostat and/or to the electrical supply circuit. All such connections MUST

be in accordance with the National Electric Code, Canadian Electric Code, and

all local codes.
WarmlyYours strongly suggests a dedicated circuit for each system. A non-

dedicated circuit can cause nuisance tripping of the GFCI built into the thermostat.
