4.1 How to set the date and time on your heater
The below example illustrates how to set the clock to Thursday 3.03PM.
Step 1:
Press the clock icon once, this will cause
the day of the week to start flashing.
Step 2:
Use the up/down icons to cycle through the days.
In this example the up button has been pressed
three times selecting Thursday.
7

Step 3:
Press the clock icon again and this will store the day
as well as highlight the next field which is the hour
of the day.
Step 4:
Use the up/down icons to cycle through the hours,
in this example we will press the up button three
times in order to display 15:00
Step 5:
Press the clock icon to save the hour setting and
move on to the minutes setting.
Step 6:
Use the up/down icon to cycle through the minutes,
in this example we will press the up button three
times in order to select 15:03.
Step 7:
Press the clock to finalise the time.
4.2 Setting the target temperatures
The thermostat settings can only be set whilst the unit is turned on (not standby). Unlike
many panel heaters the Accona timer range utilises two temperature ranges. The first is the
temperature the heater will maintain during the ‘Peak’ setting and the second is the ‘Off
peak’ setting.
Peak : When you want a ‘comfortable’ temperature whilst occupying the room in which
the heater is located. This can be as high as 30°C.
Off Peak : The Off peak (typically night time) temperature setting ensures the room will
not fall below a user chosen temperature. This can be as low as 5°C (frost protection) and
must be a few degrees cooler than the Peak temperature setting.
8

Step 1:
Press the °C icon to enter the ‘Peak’ temperature
setting mode. When selected correctly it will be
indicates by the flashing symbol.
Step 2:
To alter the target temperature, press the up/down
icon the desired number of times. In this example
the up icon had been pressed three times to increase
the set point from 22°C to 25°C.
Step 3:
Press the °C icon to store the ‘Peak’ temperature and
also move onto the ‘Off peak’ setting. ‘Off peak’ is
indicated by the symbol which will flash when
selected.
Step 4:
As with step 2 it is possible to alter the target
temperature for the ‘Off peak’ mode by simply
pressing the up/down symbols the desired
number of times. In this example the down
icon has been pressed three times to change
the target temperature from 17°C to 14°C.
Step 5:
To store the ‘Off peak’ setting simply press the
°C icon once. The display will now return to
the current room temperature display.

4.3 Selecting a pre-loaded schedule
The heater is supplied with a number of pre-loaded operating schedules already stored in
memory. It will be quicker to choose one of these defaults if it corresponds sufficiently closely
to your requirements, but you can create your own schedule if you wish (see ‘Programming
your own customised schedule’).
The pre-loaded schedules are identified by a two letter code (e.g. “P3” or “CF”) and are as
follows:
able of Pre-loaded Operating Schedules
NOTE:
1. The number 0,8,16 and 24 represent time on a 24-hour clock and equates to midnight,
8:00am, 4:00pm and midnight respectively.
2. The “ symbol means the heater operates in OFF PEAK MODE during the given time.
3. The i symbol means the heater operates in PEAK MODE during the given time.
4. CF means FROST PROTECTION MODE; the unit will heat only to avoid frost and protect
it when the room temperature is very low. he temperature cannot be adjusted in this
programme.
5. CE means OFF PEAK MODE all the time.
6. CC means PEAK MODE all the time. This is the factory default setting.
7. UP means USER PROGRAMME; the user can set the programme according to his/her
specific needs. he UP programme factory default is PEAK MODE all day, every day.
10

The pre-loaded schedules that are available are defined in the previous table.
If you wish to have the unit operate in non-timer style you should select pre-set ‘CC’
to switch the heater on/off press the button.
Study the available pre-sets to decide which setting is best suited to the requirements.
Step 1:
Press the Picon to enter the schedule selection mode.
This will cause the current selected pre-set to flash.
Upon first operation the default pre-set is ‘CC’.
Step 2:
Press the up/down icon until the desired schedule is
displayed. We have a selected P2 as our schedule.
Step 3:
Once the desired schedule is selected, press the P
icon to store and run this setting. The display will
now show the selected schedule.
4.4 Programming your own customised schedule
Along with a number of pre-set schedules (see table in previous section) there is also
one schedule that can be used to create your own custom timer settings. This schedule is
represented by the initials ‘UP’ (user programmed).
Step 1:
First select the ‘UP’ mode from the pre-set
programme (see ‘Selecting a pre-loaded
schedule section).
Enter the ‘UP’ editing mode by selecting the
icon. The screen will display the current
day of the week flashing. In the example the
day in question is Monday (Mon).
Step 2:
Next select the day to programme. Simply press
the timer icon until the required day is displayed.
In this example we have selected Wednesday (Wed)
which required two presses of the timer icon.
11

Step 3:
Now the day is selected a value for every segment of a full day must be assigned (there are
24 in total). The programme will only be saved when this is complete. Use the up/down icon
to allocate the mode for each segment. Up = ‘peak’ setting and down = ‘Off peak’. In the
below example the down button has been pressed eight times followed by the up button
eight times and finally the down button eight times. This will mean the heater operates in ‘off
peak’ temp from 00:00 to 08:00 and then ‘peak’ setting from 08:00 until 16:00 and then finally
‘off peak’ from 16:00 until 00:00.
To confirm and save this setting, press the INSERT SYMBO icon. Next repeat the whole
process for each of the remaining six days of the week.
5. Advanced features (7-day timer models)
5.1 Copy and paste programming
To make creating a ‘UP’ (custom schedule) slightly easier, you may wish to copy and paste a
full day’s programme onto another day. For instance, you have set Monday’s programme and
you wish to replicate this for the remaining week days. This can be achieved by copying and
pasting Monday’s settings on to the remaining days, this will negate the need to programme
each segment for each day separately. Follow the below process:
Step 1:
To enter the ‘UP’ programme from the default
pre-sets see timer functions section. Enter the
‘UP’ editing mode by pressing the icon.
This will bring up the screen as shown.
Step 2:
To copy the Monday (Mon) programme, press the
icon. This will copy the programme and the
screen will confirm this with the word ‘Copy’
displayed alongside the word ‘Prog’. Note: to copy
from a different day, select the required day
using the clock icon before pressing the icon.
12

Step 3:
Press the timer icon the desired number of times to
cycle to the day to programme to. In this example we
have pressed the timer icon twice in order to display
Wednesday (Wed).
Step 4:
Press the icon to complete the paste of the
custom setting onto the desired day. In order
to paste to more days you will need to exit the
current screen using INSERT SYMBO icon, and
then returning to Step 1 of this section to repeat
for other days.
5.2 Activating the child lock
The timer unit can be locked on your heater in order to prevent settings being altered.
Step 1:
Press the Picon once.
Step 2:
Push and hold the timer and programme icons for 2-3 seconds.
Step 3:
When the timer is successfully locked a ‘key’ icon
will be displayed to confirm this.
Step 4:
To unlock the timer simply repeat the steps for locking.
5.3 Centigrade / Fahrenheit display
It is possible to switch the temperature setting between Fahrenheit (F) and Celsius (C).
Simply hold down the temp icon (°C) for approximately 3 seconds.
13

5.4 Delayed start and shut down mode
It is possible to turn the unit on automatically a number of hours in the future.
For example, to automatically start in 10hrs time this can be achieved as follows:
Step 1:
The heater must first be in standby mode.
Press the alarm clock icon and a symbol of a
clock will be displayed.
Step 2:
Use the up/down icon to enter the number of
hours to wait before the heater starts. In this
example we have chosen ten hours which is
achieved by pressing the up button ten times.
Step 3:
Press the alarm icon again to exit timer mode
and save the selection. The heater will now start
up automatically in ten hours’ time.
It is possible to programme the heater to switch off in a specified number of hours in
the future.
Step 1:
The heater must be On (not in standby) to utilise
this feature. Press the alarm clock icon and a symbol
for a clock will be displayed.
Step 2:
Use the up/down icon to enter the amount of hours
to wait before the heater goes into ‘sleep’ mode.
In this example we have gone for ten hours which
is achieved by pressing the up button ten times.
Step 3:
Press the alarm icon again to exit timer mode and
save the selection. The heater will now automatically
go into ‘sleep’ mode in ten hours’ time.
