Manually Overriding Heat Modes
Sometimes, you may want to switch your current heat mode (from the default mode set for the current time) to the
non-current mode e.g. from day/peak to night/off-peak or vice versa.
You may want to do this to allow you to adjust the desired temperature/thermostat of the non-current mode.
Or you may want to apply the other heat mode at this current moment (e.g. you may want to turn up the temperature
temporarily without distorting the pre-programmed settings)
To manually switch heat modes (e.g. from night/off-peak to day/peak or vice versa), simply press the top left button
next to the picture of either the sun or the moon. That icon should now get highlighted with a black background and
the desired temperature in the display screen should also change (assuming the alternative heat mode has a different
temperature).
In the diagram shown, the desired temperature/thermostat has changed from 21 (set for day/peak mode) to 16 degrees
(set for night/off peak mode).
Press the same button again to go back to the default heat mode for the current time.
Note: for safety reasons, at 3am each day, if the heat mode has been manually overridden, the heater will automatically
switch back to the default heat mode for that time. Manual overrides will also end when a new timing setting starts.
