PROGRAMMING
Introduction
Your programmable Arlec panel heater will provide controlled background warmth
when you require it so as to minimize electricity usage. The heater is equipped with
an electronic thermostat and a 24 hour/7 day timer with 2 timer periods that control
the temperature within a set program.
• Comfort Period – refers to the time period when you want the heater to heat your
room to your desired temperature when you are present. The default temperature
setting for the “Comfort Period” is 22°C.
• Economy Period – refers to the time period when you are not present but would
like a minimal amount of heating so the room does not become completely cold.
The default temperature setting for the “Economy Period” is 17°C.
To switch the Economy Period heating off so that no energy is used between your
selected Comfort Periods it is necessary to change the Economy Period tempera-
ture setting to 5°C. Refer to Adjusting Program Settings.
For your convenience this heater is equipped with 12 pre set programs and one User
Program (UP).
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If the ON/OFF switch or Mains Power switch is turned off your personal settings or User
program (UP) will be retained, however, the clock will need to be reset to the correct
time.
