What is a cylinder thermostat?
... an explanation for householders
A cylinder thermostat switches on and off the heat
supply from the boiler to the hot-water cylinder. It
works by sensing the temperature of the water inside
the cylinder, switching on the water heating when the
temperature falls below the thermostat setting, and
switching it off once this set temperature has been
reached.
Turning a cylinder thermostat to a higher setting will
not make the water heat up any faster. How quickly the
water heats up depends on the design of the heating
system, for example, the size of boiler and the heat
exchanger inside the cylinder.
The water heating will not work if a time switch or
programmer has switched it off. And the cylinder
thermostat will not always switch the boiler off,
because the boiler sometimes needs to heat the
radiators.
Cylinder thermostats are usually fitted between one
quarter and one third of the way up the cylinder. The
cylinder thermostat will have a temperature scale
marked on it, and it should be set at between 60C and
65C, then left to do its job. This temperature is high
enough to kill off harmful bacteria in the water, but
raising the temperature of the stored hot water any
higher will result in wasted energy and increase the
risk of scalding.
If you have a boiler control thermostat, it should
always be set to a higher temperature than that of the
cylinder thermostat. In most boilers, a single boiler
thermostat controls the temperature of water sent
to both the cylinder and radiators, although in some
there are two separate boiler thermostats.

Battery Handling
Batteries, rechargeable or not, should not be disposed
of into ordinary household waste. Instead, they must be
recycled properly to protect the environment and cut down
the waste of precious resources.
Your local waste management authority can supply details
concerning the proper disposal of batteries.
In compliance with the EU Directive 2006/66/EC, the button
cell battery located on the printed circuit board inside the
product, can be removed at the end of the product life, by
professional personnel only.
Step 4:
Changing the Batteries
How do I know when to change
the batteries?
When the batteries start to run low a battery icon will
flash in the display to indicate “low battery”, during
this time the MiStat will function normally. When
the battery icon alone is shown in the display, the
batteries are completely exhausted and the MiStat will
cease to function (see below). Re-activate by replacing
the batteries.
How to replace the batteries
Remove the battery covers as shown. Replace the batteries with 2 x 1.5V IEC LR6 (AA) Alkaline batteries ensuring
correct orientation. Replace the battery covers pressing fully home.
