Default Thermostat current rating (oops!)

Whoops, posted this to a binary group, then copied it here without removing photos.

Here's the post again without the pictures, but links instead.

I bought a digital thermostat which is rated at 3 amps. Do you think I could run a 6A fanheater with it? I was going to upgrade the relay in it, but I've found that it already has an 8A relay. The only reason I can see for rating it as 3A is the circuit board tracks, or the connectors (see photos).
