Optional Thermostat
Installation
Installing an optional thermostat may help you maintain a constant house temperature automatically. A millivolt
thermostat is required for proper operation. A fixed wall mount or Breckwell’s hand held remote could be used. (Contact
your dealer or Breckwell to purchase a remote control or for more information.)
A millivolt thermostat is required.
Unplug the stove from the power outlet.
The two thermostat wires connect to the thermostat terminal block on the lower left side of the back of the
control panel.
Insert the two wires in the terminal side and tighten the two screws to secure the wires.
Either wire can be inserted into either terminal.
Thermostat Operation
After properly installing the thermostat, move the mode of operation switch on the front of the control panel into the
Thermostat mode. Plug the stove back into the power outlet. You are now ready to use the thermostat with your stove.
The thermostat will operate the stove in a “High/Low” mode. You will
start your stove following the standard lighting directions previously
discussed. You will then set your stove to the desired “high” heat level
setting. Adjust the damper for the best operation; a good starting point for
the damper is even with the ash lip, which is about halfway out. The
“high” level can be anything above the Low setting up to the third heat
level. YOU SHOULD NOT USE THE FOURTH OR FIFTH HEAT LEVEL WITH A
THERMOSTAT.
When the thermostat is calling for heat, the unit will run on the heat level
that you have the stove set at. When the thermostat is no longer calling
for heat, the stove will automatically cycle down to the low heat level
setting. The unit will remain on the low heat level setting until the
thermostat again calls for heat. At that time the unit will cycle up to the
heat level setting that the stove is set to. Keep in mind that there will be a
three-minute delay between each heat level increase as the unit goes up
each heat level setting.
The unit will continue to fluctuate between the low heat level setting and
the higher setting that you set the control panel to until you push the
On/Off button and turn the stove off.
The unit will follow the normal shut down procedure.
NOTE: IF THE POWER IS INTERRUPTED TO THE STOVE AND THE FIRE EXTINGUISHES, THE STOVE WILL REQUIRE MANUAL
RELIGHTING. THE “HIGH” LEVEL MUST ALSO BE RESET.
