OPERATING THE STOVE USING A THERMOSTAT
A thermostat may help you maintain a constant house temperature
automatically. A millivolt thermostat or 24 Volt thermostat is required. A
fixed wall mount or hand held model can be used. The control panel can be
set up two ways to operate your stove in thermostatic mode.
THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
•
Unplug the stove from the power outlet.
•
Connect two thermostat wires to the terminal block located on the
lower right side of the back of the stove. To do so, loosen the two
screws and insert the wires in the terminals. Tighten the two screws.
(See Figure 15)
•
If you are using a wireless wall thermostat or a hand held thermostatic
remote control, you can locate the receiver behind the stove’s back
panel, on the right end side, just below the terminal block. Most
receivers are already equipped with quick-connect terminals. Simply
unplug the PC board wires connected to the back of the terminal block
and connect them directly with the receiver’s terminals. Location of
the thermostat is very important to obtain the best comfort and
efficiency from you ECO-35. The thermostat should be mounted 50
inch from the floor on a wall located 15 to 20 feet from the stove. You
should avoid an installation directly in front of the stove to avoid
cycling.(See Figure 16)
MODES
THERMOSTATIC MODE
•
To use this mode, the thermostat button must be pushed
upon starting the stove. The heat setting is then selected using the
“Heat Level” selector. When set in thermostatic mode, the stove will
automatically run at the heat level selected until the set room
temperature is reached. When that occurs, the stove will switch to
heat setting #1 (lowest) until the thermostat calls for heat again. The
convection blowers will also slow to its lowest speed. When the
thermostat calls for heat again, the stove will increase its feed rate to
match the heat setting selected.
•
N.B.: If the room temperature remains stable and the thermostat
does not call for heat during at least 45 minutes, the stove will shut
down. When the thermostat calls for heat again, the stove will start an
ignition cycle. Once the ignition cycle is completed, the stove will
increase its feed rate to match the heat setting selected.
NOTE: When in thermostatic mode:
•
You should not operate the manual control or play with the
temperature setting.
•
YOUR THERMOSTAT SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY AN
AUTHORIZED DEALER OR SERVICE PERSON.
