Troubleshooting

PROBLEM SOLUTIONS
Thermostat is hot. This is normal. Under normal operation, the thermostat housing can reach a temperature between 95°F (35°C) and 104°F (40°C).
Heater is always On. The thermostat has not been correctly wired.
Thermostat indicates that heating is On, but the heater is not On. The thermostat has not been correctly wired.
Displayed tempera- ture is wrong. The thermostat is exposed to air draft. Eliminate the draft.
The sticker on the thermostat’s screen has not been removed.
Display disappears and reappears after a few minutes. The thermal protection device on the heater is open. This can happen after a power fail-ure or or if the heater is obstructed by fumiture or curtains.
Display looks faded when heating is activated. The heating system is less than the required minimum load. This thermostat cannot be used below that rating.

Electronic Thermostat

NOTE: All cables and connections must conform to the local electrical code.  Special CO/ALR  solderless connectors must be  used when connecting with aluminium conductors.

Align and affix the base to the electrical box.

Set the switch at the back of the removable part  of the thermostat to °C  or °F.

Replace the front part of the thermostat on the base and secure it in place with the screw.
Keep air vents of thermostat clean and  free from obstructions.
