USE OF A THERMOSTAT
St. Croix Pellet stoves offer our customers the optional feature of thermostatically controlling
your new stove. By using a thermostat to control the operation of your Pellet stove, you can
benefit two ways. First of all, after setting the thermostat to your desired heating needs the stove
will operate accordingly to uniformly maintain your desired temperature setting. Secondly, the
fuel consumption is being optimized, which ultimately results in lowering your seasonal heating
costs.
While the room temperature remains cooler than your desired thermostat setting, the stove will
operate at any of the 5 HEAT ADJUST selector positions. Read the Operations manual to
determine which Thermostat Mode you want to use. You can choose between the T-Stat Mode
and the SmartStat Mode.
We recommend using the Fully Automatic “SmartStat” Mode.
1.
Once you have successfully lit your stove, set the thermostat to your desired heating needs.
2. Set the HEAT ADJUST selector to a position that will effectively create a rise in room
temperature above your thermostat setting. The recommended heat adjust settings while using a
thermostat are any position between 2 through 5.
Thermostat Hook-up
To hook up a thermostat, connect the wires from the thermostat to the external wire terminal
on the back of the stove (see figure 18).
The external Thermostat wire
terminal has been pre-wired to
the thermostat wire Terminal on
the back of the control board
(See figure 19)
