How does the heater control work? The control allows you to choose when you want heat and at what temperature. When using a timer mode (see below), Heating ON will display on the home screen to tell you when the heater is maintaining the temperature displayed. Heating OFF will display when the heater is outside of a timed heating period. When Manual, Eco or Frost modes are being used the heater will always maintain the temperature shown on the home scrren.
Set the Time To set the date and time on the heater, press Menu, then press Enter with Time / Date highlighted. Press the up or down buttons until the correct value is shown, then press Enter to confirm and move on to the next value. Repeat until all details are correct, and Set displays, then press Back. The time is automatically adjusted in spring and autumn between Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and British Summer Time (BST).
Set the Temperature The temperature shown on the display is the room temperature set point (target room temperature). This is the temperature that the heater will maintain during the heating periods. If the room temperature is above this temperature then the heater will not operate. The heater leaves the factory with this temperature set at 21°C which represents a typical, comfortable room temperature. If you require a different room temperature then press either up or down until the display shows the temperature you require.
Timer Modes Timer Modes offer the most efficient mode of operation for a predictable heat demand. Each timer is broken down into 4 definable `Heating On’ time periods and temperatures per day, for each day of the week. Each day consists of a 24-Hour period, starting and finishing at midnight. `Heating On’ periods are times when the heater is trying to achieve and maintain the target room temperature. To choose a timer mode, press Menu from the home screen. Use the arrow keys to highlight `Modes’, then press Enter to select. `Timer Mode’ should be highlighted, press Enter to select. A list of Timer Modes will be shown. Their default settings are shown in the table below.

Away Mode does not operate in the same way as the other Timers. See `Away Mode’.
Away Mode Away Mode temporarily overrides the active mode before returning the Heater back to the previously active mode. This is handy if you are temporarily away at the shops or on holiday and want your heating to resume as normal operation automatically when you return. While active, Away Mode can maintain a minimum room temperature. By default, this is set to 7 °C (frost protection temperature). This can be modified when Away mode is activated.
Child Lock If you need to lock the controls so that the settings cannot be changed then activate the Child Lock. To lock the controls press and hold both the Back button and Enter for three seconds. Child Lock will appear at the bottom of the screen. To unlock the control repeat the action by pressing both the Back button and Enter for three seconds.
Advance The Advance button is only used when a Timer Mode is active and allows the timer schedule to be changed temporarily. This button allows a Heating ON period to begin or end early. This is useful if you are at home when you had not planned to be, or need to leave when you had planned to have the heating on. If the heater displays Heating OFF and heat is required, press the Advance button. If the heater is in Heating ON and heat is not required, press the Advance button and the heater will stop heating until the beginning of the next Heating ON period.
