Depending on how cold it is outside, this could mean the room is still cold when you have to get out of bed, or
mean that its been warm for half an hour before it needed to be. Adaptive Start means that if you select 21ºC
at 7am, the heater will turn on exactly when it needs to in order to meet this target, running for shorter periods
of time when the weather is mild, and ensuring the room is nice and warm in the winter.
The Adaptive Start function will automatically activate when you use the Timer Mode.
