6. Setup
6.1 Battery Installation
The thermostat requires two 1.5V AA batteries for operation. Open the battery compartment, insert the batteries according to the polarity markings, and close the compartment.
6.2 Initial Power-On
Upon first power-on or after battery replacement, the thermostat will display the current time and temperature. You may need to set the current time and day.
7. Operation
7.1 Setting the Temperature
Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to adjust the desired set temperature. The thermostat will automatically activate the boiler when the room temperature falls below the set temperature and deactivate it when the set temperature is reached.
7.2 Programming (5+1+1 Periods)
The thermostat supports a 5+1+1 programmable schedule, allowing you to set different temperatures for various times of the day across weekdays, Saturday, and Sunday. This optimizes comfort and energy efficiency.
Image 7.1: Example of a 5+1+1 programmable schedule.
- Press the M (Menu) button to enter programming mode.
- Use the Up and Down buttons to navigate through periods and adjust time/temperature settings.
- Confirm each setting by pressing the M button or wait for automatic exit from programming mode.
7.3 Child Lock Function
The child lock feature prevents unauthorized changes to the thermostat settings.

To activate/deactivate the child lock, refer to the specific instructions in the guiding book, typically involving a long press of a combination of buttons.
7.4 Other Functions
- Manual Mode: Allows temporary override of the programmed schedule.
- Temperature Calibration: Adjusts the displayed temperature for accuracy.
- Frost Protection: Automatically activates heating if the temperature drops below a set minimum (e.g., 5°C) to prevent pipes from freezing.
- High-Temperature Protection: Prevents the temperature from exceeding a safe limit.
8. Maintenance
- Clean the thermostat's screen and casing with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Replace batteries annually or when the low battery indicator appears on the display.
- Ensure the thermostat's vents (if any) are not obstructed to allow for proper air circulation and accurate temperature sensing.
9. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, try the following common solutions:
- No Display: Check battery installation and replace if necessary.
- Incorrect Temperature Reading: Ensure the thermostat is not exposed to direct heat/cold sources or drafts. Calibrate temperature if needed (refer to guiding book).
- Boiler Not Responding: Check wiring connections. Ensure the thermostat is in heating mode and the set temperature is above the ambient temperature.
- Settings Not Saving: Ensure batteries are not critically low.
For persistent issues, contact customer support.
