3.17 Operation of the stove using the
external thermostat
The stove can also be controlled as regards temperature by an external room thermostat. If this is
fitted in a mean position with respect to the area in which the stove is installed, it ensures a closer
correlation between the heating temperature requested from the stove and the temperature it
effectively delivers. In other words, it will not be necessary to take an average between the
temperature read by the ambient sensor mounted on the stove (e.g. 15°C) and the temperature you
want to reach (e.g. 20°C) for inputting into the digital internal thermostat. (See the paragraph
"Automatic operation with the digital room thermostat").

3.18 Connecting the
external thermostat
Rear
panel
Connector supplied
Thermostat cable
Connect the cable coming from the
wall-mounted thermostat to the MCZ
connector port supplied with the
stove.
The electronic board automatically
detects the presence of the external
thermostat, which takes precedence
over the one on board the stove. In
the case of programmed operation,
the phases of "lighting" and
"shutdown" will be controlled by the
internal timer fitted on board the
stove.
In this mode of operation,
the stove's digital internal
thermostat needs to be set
to the minimum
temperature possible –e.g.10°C.
