can this be used with an electric ceramic panel/plate heater or is it only for something like baseboard heat?

Yes as long as the ceramic heater is 220-240v and doesn't exceed the rated amp draw of the thermostat. i believe this thermostat is rated somewhere around 16-18 amps

Possibly. I'm not too familiar with that type of heater but if it's air/fuel ratio is somewhere around stoich (+/-30%), this might work decently. Read the section under "Zirconia sensor" to get a little bit of an idea for what this is actually looking for ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_sensor ). Sensors like this only measure the products of combustion, so they don't really care about the fuel type although they can get fouled by metalics and other impurities.

You can,but for ceramic you dont need the high heat one, just the regular temperature version. This one is for exhausts etc..

This thermostat is designed to maintain the set temperture in a space. It will utilize a variable power consumption with baseboard heaters to try to keep up. As long as there is electricity, it will do its best to maintain the desired temp. If you are having issues getting to a desired temp in those extreme conditions, you should probably look in to something other than baseboard heater units. Maybe a forced air type of heater? Or, a large wattage space heater with a fan.

This is for electric heat only. 240 to 220 amps. Do not use it for any other type of heat.

I have a gas stove but am sure it would work on electric do not know anything about ceramic stoves so cannot answer but does have flat base hope that helps.

No it's designed for heaters or furnaces requiring external thermostats. the do make thermostats like you're after there a little pricey. But allows you to have an outlet that is controlled by the temp

All types of electric space heaters convert electrical energy into heat. Ceramic and quartz heaters distribute their heat by convection, which heats the air and circulates it around the room. Infrared heaters transfer thermal energy via electromagnetic waves, which are absorbed by people and objects in their path, creating warmth.Read more : http://www.ehow.com/about_5348342_infrared-versus-quartz-ceramic-heaters.html

not to my estimation . heats ceramic plate , fan blows heat thru to room . works well .

This will work with any heat only application, so should be fine as long as the electric is setup for single in-line power. Keep in mind the thermostat is battery powered, so you'll need to keep that replaced. I have this in our camper and it's about 3 feet from me. I can't say that I hear the on/off solenoid. So, however loud it is, it's not enough to wake me up.

I would think that any heat source would Work with this item. I don't use electric so I can't say for sure. If you have used cast iron on your cook top before then I wouldn't see a problem.

In response to the reply which states you cannot use this unit with a fan-forced heater- Yes you can. I specifically have 3 of these installed for in-wall fan-forced heaters in an apartment. There is a toggle switch in the bowels of the unit to select baseboard or fan forced.

I was not pleased with this heater. VERY cheaply made. My remote did not work and the oscillating option is a joke! Yes, it will heat the area around you, but I think you would probably like a ceramic heater better. Good Luck!

Yes, but only up to the max rating of the thermostat. I think it is rated for 3500 watts. I have two electric baseboard units hooked up to one thermostat. Do not overload the thermostat. Total rating of the baseboard units must be less than max load of the thermostat. The instructions will tell you how to do it. Dave

Not likely. Your hot water heater needs more energy than this panel can produce unless it is strictly for operating a solinoid/thermostat from another energy scource to your heater.

I assume it is electric baseboard heat in which case it is probably controlled by a relay. If you have a voltmeter or multimeter you can check the voltage at the thermostat wire. If it is approximately 24 volts then it will probably work.

I have some experience with this. I have a 1000W (low) to 1500W (high) ceramic heater plugged into this unit and have had no issues with it running through two prongs compared to three.
