The thermostat can operate in three different modes: Automatic, Manual or Off. To
set the operating mode move the slider switch to the desired position. The screen
indicates which mode is currently active by displaying AUTO, MAN or OFF.
• AUTO (automatic) mode
Automatic mode sets the thermostat to follow the temperature program (default
or personalised). Operating the thermostat in this mode is the best way to
maintain a high level of temperature comfort whilst maximising your energy
savings.
• MAN (manual) mode
Manual mode sets the thermostat to act as a simple thermostat with a xed
setpoint throughout the day. The setpoint can be adjusted from 5°C to 35°C
by using the or buttons. The thermostat will continue to maintain this
temperature until another operating mode or temperature is selected.
• OFF mode

(default) that acts as a frost protection measure for your home. This value can be
adjusted by calling your installer.
Adjusting the Time
To adjust only the time during normal operation use the or buttons to adjust
the time and press the green button again to conrm any changes.
During Normal Operation
• Temperature Enquiry
In AUTO and MAN operating modes the thermostat will display the current room
temperature, which is indicated by the text ‘ROOM TEMP’ displayed on the
screen. To review the programmed ‘target’ temperature (the temperature which
the thermostat is trying to maintain) press the button. This ‘target’ temperature
value will be displayed ashing and the text ‘TARGET TEMP’ will be shown for 5
seconds before returning to the current room temperature value.
In OFF operating mode the thermostat again displays the current room
temperature, as above, but when the button is pressed the text ‘FROST TEMP’
is displayed indicating the set value to protect your home. To modify this value
please contact your installer.

• HOLIDAY Function
The holiday function allows you to set a constant temperature (default = 10°C)
for a specied number of days (from 1 - 99 days). This lets you save energy and
related costs when you are away from home, but resumes normal operation on
the day of your return.

setting, along with the holiday indicator .
c. The day after the current day will be selected and ‘RETURN DATE OK?’ will be
displayed. Press the or time buttons to set the holiday time (1 – 99 days).
Note: (The day and date will update according to the number of days
selected).
d. Press the green button to conrm the setting.
e. ‘CHANGES SAVED’ will be displayed for a moment followed by ‘TEMP OK?’.
Press the or buttons to set the holiday temperature (5°C - 35°C)
f. Press the green button to conrm the setting. ‘HOLIDAY MODE’ will now
be displayed on the screen until the return date is reached or the holiday
mode is cancelled.
The thermostat will now control to the new temperature for the set number of days
that your home is vacant. At midnight the holiday counter will be reduced by one until
the selected number of days have passed. The thermostat will then return to normal
operation as set by the slider switch position (AUTO or MAN position). To cancel the
HOLIDAY setting or to exit the function at any time press the button a second time
or move the slider switch to a different position.
