We moved into a house late last summer that has a Stanley Gas Fired 80k Twin System cooker. We have an installation manual that shows the Product ID as 63AR5080 but no operation manual – we’ve had a look online and 63AR5080 only leads to guidance on the Brandon model which I don’t think ours it.
Our understanding is that when first installed, the controls on the front of the Stanley (photo uploaded) was set-up to control both the hot water/heating and obviously for cooking. However, the previous owners changed this so that the controls on the front of the Stanley only controlled the hot water and cooking. The heating is now instead controlled by a thermostat in our hallway and obviously when that kicks in, the Stanley then provides the heat.
Where things have got warmer over the last week or two, we’ve noticed that when the hot water comes on for a couple of hours in the morning and evening as per the programme set, it’s also sending heat to the radiators. i.e. so even though the thermostat in the hall-way showed a target temperature of well under the actual room temp, the hot water being on still causes the rads to heat up. We have checked the thermostat and the symbol that shows when a ‘call’ for heat has been made from the Stanley def isn't on. This is driving us a bit nuts and as a result we’ve turned off the hot water programming on the Stanley and are using our back-up immersion heater for the hot water – problem solved for now but not ideal.
Any thoughts or ideas gratefully received. All the best.
