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 your ECO-65. The thermostat should be mounted 50 inches 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 19)

To use this mode, the “MODE” button must be pushed to “Thermostat” upon starting the stove. The heat setting is then selected using the “Heat Level” selector “+ or –”. 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 blower 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.
