You can set the desired temperature by pressing the up and down arrows or you can use the pre-set temperatures of the sun and moon buttons. See top of this page.

Operating Notes:

Ensure that there is a large enough temperature difference between the Comfort and economy settings so the system has a period where it shuts off completely. If this does not happen the floor will be continuously heated which will be more expensive to run. It needs to be a compromise because if the difference is too great the system will have to work very hard to get back up to the comfort temperature.

Exactly what the difference should be will depend upon the room and how frequently it is used. A trial and error method should be adopted to achieve a balance.

If the system is left on manual mode for a sustained period the floor will be continuously heated which will be more expensive to run.
