Always ensure the AC mains power is switched off before installing or working on any
components (this includes replacing the batteries). Use only AA 1.5 V alkaline batteries in the
thermostat. Place the batteries into the battery slot located in the back of the thermostat. Do
not use rechargeable batteries.
Press MENU. Using UP or DOWN, adjust the
temperature and then
press SELECT.
OpenTherm Modulating Control is a method of control used by modern heating systems. Instead of
switching a boiler on and off at intervals, modulating control allows the amount of heat provided by the
boiler to be controlled to match the varying demand from the thermostat. This means the customer has
greater system efficiency, energy saving and room comfort from our heating controls.
Using UP or DOWN, navigate to
Hot Water submenu and
press SELECT.
