Modes
Sometimes, you may want
to
switch your current heat mode (from the default mode set
for
the current time)
tothe
non-current mode e.g.
from
day/peak
to
night/off-peak
or
vice
versa.
You may want to do
this to allow you to adjustthe desired temperature/thermostat of the non-current
mode.
Or you may want
to
apply the other heat mode at this current moment (e.g. you may want
toturn
up the temperature
temporarily without distorting the pre-programmed
settings)
To manually switch heat modes (e.g.
from
night/off-peak
to
day/peak
or
vice versa), simply press the top
leftbutton
next
to
the picture
of
either the sun
or
the moon. That icon should now get highlighted
with
a black background
and
the desired temperature
in
the display screen should also change (assuming the alternative heat mode has a
different
temperature).
In the diagram shown, the desired temperature/thermostat has changed
from
21 (set
for
day/peak mode)
to
16
degrees
(set
for
night/off peak
mode).
Press the same button again
to
go back
to
the default heat mode
for
the current
time.
Note:
for
safety reasons, at 3am each day,
if
the heat mode has been manually overridden, the heater
will
automatical
ly
switch back
to
the default heat mode
for
that time. Manual overrides
will
also end when a new timing setting
starts.

Good work. You have now set a time
for
when you want this heat mode
toturn
on. You
will
now need
to
create another
timing
setting that
will
take over
from
the previous setting (e.g.
for
the heater
to
then
turn off or for it to
heat at a lower temperature).
If
you set the
first
heat mode as a day/peak mode, you
will
now need
to
set the next heat mode that
will
take over as a
night/off-
peak mode (and vice
v
er
sa).
As an example you may want
to
set the
first
mode as a day/peak mode so that
it
heats your room
to
22°C every day
of
the
week,
from
8am onwards. You may then want
to
create the night/off-peak mode that
will
take over at 6pm and
turnoff
the
heater
(or heat at a lower temperature). Therefore every day
from
8am-6pm, the heater
will
heat the room
to
22°C and then
turnoff
between 6pm and
8am.
