Mounting Thermostats And Settings - Yukon Eagle Oil Furnace Owner's Manual

Installation
MOUNTING THE THERMOSTATS
The thermostats must be mounted on an interior
centrally located wall. Place them away from direct
sunlight, drafts, and approximately 5 feet above the
floor. It is not required that they be level. Place them
right next to each other. See Fig. 17.
Two Honeywell digital thermostats are furnished with
all multi-fuel furnaces. The larger thermostat controls
your gas, oil or electric, whichever back-up fuel you
have. It offers one temperature setting for
when you want the burner to start. This is in the
event your wood supply is inadequate in keeping
your home at its temperature setting. It also has a
night setback feature that allows you to keep lower
temperatures at desired times. This thermostat also
controls the air conditioning, if applicable.
FIG. 17
The smaller thermostat controls the wood/coal room
temperature. It does not have a night setback
feature.
If you have no plans for air conditioning you will
need a 3-wire thermostat cable from your furnace to
your thermostat. If you intend to install air
conditioning a 5-wire thermostat cable is required.
TYPICAL THERMOSTAT SETTINGS
Place 3 or 4 8" diameter logs into wood chamber.

burning, reset gas/oil thermostat to 5 degrees below
desired room temperature. Set wood thermostat to
desired wood temperature. With the proper amount
of wood in the firebox, the wood thermostat will keep
the room temperature at the wood thermostat
setting. When the wood is no longer able to keep up
with the heating demands of your home and the
temperature falls to the oil/gas thermostat setting,
the burner will come on until that thermostat is
satisfied.
