Heating - Quick Set Up Guide

We tend to have the heating switched off in between rentals.  We also feel it is easier for people to use the system in a Manual Mode, rather than the complex Automatic Settings (there is a separate Blog Entry with the link to these).  To switch the heaters on, please follow the following steps:

1. Switch on Heater Power Switch
2. Press the Central Button to switch between On and Standby Mode
3. Make sure that the M symbol is showing (Manual).  If it shows A, then press the Man/Aut button to change it to M (bottom button)
4. Use the + and - buttons to adjust the temperature, to the desired setting

That it - the Heaters work very quickly and you should warm up in no time at all.
