9. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the device in water.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, unplug the device and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Sensor Care: Keep the temperature sensor clean and free from debris to ensure accurate readings. Avoid bending or damaging the sensor wire.

10. Troubleshooting

• Device not turning on:
  - Ensure the thermostat outlet is securely plugged into a live wall outlet.
  - Check if the wall outlet is functioning correctly by plugging in another device.
• Connected appliance not activating:
  - Verify that the appliance is correctly plugged into the Briidea BR-134 outlet.
  - Confirm that the thermostat is in the correct operating mode (Heating for a heater, Cooling for an AC/fan).
  - Check if the set temperature is appropriate for activation. For heating, the set temperature should be higher than the current temperature to activate. For cooling, the set temperature should be lower than the current temperature to activate.
• Inaccurate temperature readings:
  - Ensure the temperature sensor is properly connected to the device.
  - Reposition the sensor away from direct heat sources, cold drafts, or areas with poor air circulation.
  - Clean any dust or debris from the sensor tip.
