  • Keep the device away from water and other liquids.
  • Ensure batteries are inserted with correct polarity. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
  • Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
  • Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the thermostat yourself. Contact qualified personnel for service.

5. Installation (Setup)

5.1 Choosing a Location

Select a central location in your main living area, away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, lamps, direct sunlight) and drafts (e.g., windows, doors). The recommended mounting height is approximately 1.5 meters (5 feet) from the floor.

5.2 Mounting the Thermostat

  1. Turn off the power to your heating system at the main circuit breaker.
  2. Carefully separate the front panel of the thermostat from its backplate/wall mount bracket.
  3. Position the wall mount bracket on the chosen wall location and mark the drilling points.
  4. Drill holes and insert wall plugs if necessary.
  5. Secure the wall mount bracket to the wall using the provided screws.

5.3 Wiring the Thermostat

The Garza thermostat uses a simple two-wire connection for controlling your boiler. Refer to your boiler's manual for specific wiring instructions if needed.

  1. Identify the two control wires from your boiler (typically labeled NO and COM, or similar).
  2. Connect these two wires to the corresponding NO and COM terminals on the thermostat's backplate. Ensure connections are secure.
  3. Once wiring is complete, carefully reattach the front panel of the thermostat to the wall mount bracket.
  4. Insert 4 AAA batteries into the battery compartment, observing correct polarity.
  5. Restore power to your heating system at the main circuit breaker.

6.2 Setting Time and Day

To ensure accurate programming, set the current time and day:

  1. Press the MODE button (often represented by a clock icon) to enter time setting mode.
  2. Use the UP and DOWN arrows to adjust the hour, then press MODE again to confirm and move to minutes.
  3. Repeat for minutes and then for the day of the week.
  4. Press MODE or wait for a few seconds to exit setting mode.

6.3 Manual Temperature Adjustment

In Manual mode, you can set a desired temperature that the thermostat will maintain until changed or until a programmed schedule takes over.

  1. Press the MODE button until the display shows "MANUAL" or a hand icon.
  2. Use the UP and DOWN arrows to set your desired temperature.
  3. The thermostat will now maintain this temperature.

7. Programming Weekly Schedules

The thermostat allows for 7-day programming with up to 6 time periods (programs) per day, each with its own target temperature. This feature helps optimize energy usage.

  1. Press the PROG button (often represented by a grid icon) to enter programming mode.
  2. The display will show the current day and program number (e.g., "MON P1").
  3. Use the UP and DOWN arrows to adjust the start time for the current program. Press PROG to confirm.
  4. Use the UP and DOWN arrows to set the desired temperature for this program. Press PROG to confirm.
  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all 6 programs for the current day.
  6. Press the DAY button (or similar) to move to the next day and repeat the programming process.
  7. Once all desired programs are set, press PROG or wait for a few seconds to exit programming mode.
  8. Ensure the thermostat is in "AUTO" mode for the programmed schedule to take effect.

8. Advanced Functions

8.1 Anti-Freeze Protection

The anti-freeze protection feature automatically activates the heating system if the room temperature drops below a preset minimum (typically 5°C) to prevent pipes from freezing. This function is active by default.

8.2 Open Window Detection

When a sudden drop in temperature is detected (indicating an open window or door), the thermostat will temporarily pause heating to save energy. Heating will resume automatically after a set period or when the temperature stabilizes.

9. Maintenance

9.1 Battery Replacement

When the low battery indicator appears on the LCD screen, replace the 4 AAA batteries promptly. Use only new, high-quality alkaline batteries.

  1. Carefully remove the front panel of the thermostat from the wall mount bracket.
  2. Open the battery compartment cover.
  3. Remove the old batteries and insert new 4 AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
  4. Close the battery compartment and reattach the front panel to the wall mount bracket.

9.2 Cleaning

Clean the thermostat's screen and casing with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or spray directly onto the device.

10. Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Thermostat screen is blank. No batteries or dead batteries. Incorrect battery polarity. Insert new AAA batteries with correct polarity.
Heating system not turning on/off. Incorrect wiring. Power to heating system is off. Thermostat in wrong mode. Check wiring connections (NO/COM). Ensure main power to heating system is on. Switch thermostat to Manual or Auto mode.
Temperature reading seems inaccurate. Thermostat located near a heat source or draft. Relocate thermostat to a more central and stable temperature area.
Programs are not running. Thermostat not in Auto mode. Time/day incorrect. Switch thermostat to Auto mode. Verify and correct time and day settings.
