THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
OPERATING THE STOVE USING A THERMOSTAT
A thermostat may help you maintain a constant house temperature automatically. A millivolt thermostat is required. A fixed wall mount or Breckwell’s hand held model can be used. The control panel can be set up two ways to operate your stove in thermostat mode.
THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION

∙A MILLIVOLT THERMOSTAT IS REQUIRED.
∙Unplug stove from power outlet.
∙Remove control board from stove.
∙The two thermostat wires connect to the terminal block on the lower right side of the back of the control board.
(See figure 21)
∙Loosen the two screws.
∙Make sure to remove the jumper wire from the terminal block prior to connecting the wires. Save this jumper wire as it will need to be put back on to run the stove without the thermostat.
∙Insert the wires in the terminal side and tighten the two screws.
SHUNTS
To change from the factory setting all that is required is to move one shunt. There is one shunt and two sets of pins on the rear upper left part of the control board. J8 or the two upper shunt and pins should be disregarded as it is for factory testing of the control board. J9 is the lower shunt and pins.
∙When the J9 shunt is over one pin, or off both pins, the digital control board is in high/low thermostat mode. THIS IS THE FACTORY SETTING FOR THE DIGITAL CONTROL BOARD.
∙When the shunt is over both pins the digital control board is in ON/OFF thermostat mode.
MODES
HIGH/LOW THERMOSTAT MODE
∙To begin this mode, the on/off button must be pushed the first time the stove is started; a heat setting is then selected using the “Heat Level Advance” switch. When engaged in this mode the stove will automatically switch between two settings. When warm enough, it will switch to the #1 or low setting. The room air blower will also slow to its lowest speed.
∙The Heat Level Advance setting on the bar graph will stay where it was initially set. When the house cools below the thermostat setting, the stove will switch to the feed rate of the heat level advance setting.
ON/OFF THERMOSTAT MODE
∙In this mode when the home is warm enough the stove will shut off. The fans will continue to run until the stove cools.
∙When the home cools below your selected thermostat setting, the stove will automatically restart and operate at the feed rate last selected.
NOTE: When in “high/low” or “on/off” thermostat mode –
∙Do not operate the stove higher than the #3 setting.
∙Set damper control rod approximately ½” out. This will vary depending on elevation and weather conditions.
∙When stove is hooked up to a thermostat it will not operate in manual mode. This means that if the thermostat is switched to its “off” position the unit cannot be operated at the control panel.
∙When the stove is first plugged in it may start up on its own, THIS IS OK, let it go through the start up cycle (about 15 minutes), and it should be fine from then on.
∙YOUR THERMOSTAT SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER OR SERVICE PERSON.
