Read this section on automated program settings fully before trying to program the thermostat.

NOTE: The thermostat does not turn on or off it simply changes the set / desired temperature 6 times per day on a 7 day cycle. 

NOTE: When programming the thermostat you must work in a linear time line from zone 1 - 6 and not jump back and forward in time. 

NOTE: If you do not want the heating to come on in any part of the day / zone simply set a low temperature for that zone and the thermostat will not turn the heating on 

unless the temperature drops below the set temperature.

NOTE: For ease of programming you can select a 5+2 (factory default),6+1 or 7 day cycle setting. For more information on this or how to change see advanced options A6.

NOTE: When programing the thermostat if the screen is left untouched for 10 seconds the thermostat will save changes made and revert back to the home screen. This 

time can be increased in advanced options A - A5 up to 30 seconds before the thermostat saves and reverts back to home screen if more time is needed.

START: 

To program each zone hold down SET for 5 seconds and the time will flash and zone 1 will appear in top right corner. The times and temperatures you put into 

the next 6 zones will be copied across to all days showing across the top right of the screen. Follow the next 3 steps below to work through and set all 6 zones for these 

days without delay, (it can be helpful to have your time and temperatures for all zones written down first). 

NOTE: If you have selected 0 (=5+2) in advanced setting A - A6 you will have days 12345 showing across top right of screen at this stage, if you selected option 1 (=6+1) 

you will have days 123456 showing or if you selected optio 2 (=7) you will have days 1234567 showing. The times and temperatures you put into the next 6 zones will be 

copied across to all days showing on your screen. In step 5 below you will compete the missing days 6,7 or 7 if you selected options 0 or 1 in advanced options A - A6
