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 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 17).
The external Thermostat wire terminal has been
pre-wired to the thermostat wire Terminal on the
back of the control
board (See figure 18)
