Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Thermostat not powering on. | Incorrect wiring or no power supply. | Verify wiring connections (L and N terminals) and ensure power is supplied to the thermostat. Consult a qualified electrician if unsure. |
| Cannot connect to Wi-Fi / App. | Incorrect Wi-Fi frequency (5GHz), incorrect password, or device not in pairing mode. | Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal and your phone is connected to it. Put the thermostat into pairing mode (hold Up button for 8 seconds). Re-enter Wi-Fi password carefully. |
| Flame icon flickering / High temperature protection. | External sensor not connected or incorrectly configured. | If an external sensor is not used, ensure the thermostat's sensor type setting is correct. Access advanced settings (hold 'F' button), navigate to 'AL', and adjust to 'IN' if necessary. |
| Inaccurate temperature reading. | Thermostat calibration needed. | Access advanced settings to calibrate the temperature. (Specific steps for calibration are not detailed in the provided data, refer to the full manual via QR code). |
| Clock losing time / Program not running correctly. | Internal clock drift or Wi-Fi connection issues preventing time synchronization. | Ensure a stable Wi-Fi connection for automatic time synchronization. If issues persist, a factory reset and re-pairing might be necessary. |
| Thermostat frequently loses app connection. | Unstable Wi-Fi signal or router interference. | Ensure the thermostat is within good range of your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi router. Try restarting your router. If issues persist, consider repositioning the router or using a Wi-Fi extender. |
