- After installation and battery insertion, restore power to your heating system at the circuit breaker.
- The thermostat display should illuminate, showing the current room temperature.
- Use the F/C selectable temperature display option if you wish to change between Fahrenheit and Celsius (refer to the thermostat's internal settings or specific instructions for this model if available, otherwise assume it's a simple switch).
6.2 Setting the Temperature
- Use the ▲ (Up) and ▼ (Down) buttons on the front of the thermostat to adjust the desired temperature.

- The heating system will activate when the room temperature falls below your set temperature.
6.3 Fan Control
The thermostat features a fan slide switch with two positions:
- AUTO: The fan will run only when the heating system is actively heating. This is the recommended setting for normal operation.
- ON: The fan will run continuously, regardless of whether the heating system is active.
6.4 System Mode
The thermostat features a mode slide switch with two positions:
- HEAT: The thermostat will control your heating system to maintain the set temperature.
- OFF: The heating system is turned off. The thermostat will not activate the heater.
7. Maintenance
7.1 Battery Replacement
The thermostat is powered by two AA batteries. Replace them annually or when the low battery indicator appears on the display.
- Gently pull the thermostat cover from the base to access the battery compartment.
- Remove the old batteries and dispose of them responsibly.
- Insert two new AA alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Snap the thermostat cover back onto the base.
Note: Replacing batteries typically does not affect your temperature settings.
