OPERATING THE STOVE USING A THERMOSTAT
A thermostat will help you maintain a constant house temperature
automatically. A millivolt or 24 Volt thermostat is required. A fixed wall
mount or remote model can be used.
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 40)
•
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 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 BIO-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
installing directly in front of the stove to avoid cycling.(See Figure 41)
MODES
THERMOSTATIC MODE
•
To engage this mode, the thermostat icon
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 down to low speed. When the
thermostat calls for heat again, the stove will automatically switch
back to the selected heat level.
•
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 selected heat level.
