I Stand Alone

I just installed 2 new programmable thermostats which run my Propane boiler which is fed by my econoburn. You can set the cycles number of cycles per hour. What would be the best setting.

How do the cycles work. I have it set now a 3 cycles per hour. How long are the cycles and how long is the shut down time between cycles.

Why does the system have to cycle? Can I run the system continuously or would that cause damage?

Sorry for all the questions but hopefully someone can help
