What is the dead zone ? I.e. if I set it to 20C, I do not want tot i constantly flip between heat/cold at 19.9 and 20.1

You can set it to your preferred variance from 0.3-10.0 degrees (function F2). You can also set the compressor delay (F3) from 1-10 minutes to prevent the compressor from rapidly turning on and off, thereby burning out the compressor. I use the minimum 0.3 differential and a 10 minute delay on mine for doing 5 gallon brewing batches, and that seems to work perfect.

It has a differential that can be set.. I currently use a degree c differential.

Just got one, and works like a charm!! Says in the manual, not to be used below 65F or above 110F.

I used this feature this very morning. I was using the highest heat setting ... And it is super hot ... When I pressed the cool shot button, the temperature eased up, bit was not really cool.

I'm curious about this too. I set mine for 370 and as soon as it reaches the temperature it turns off. SO frustrating.

My unit can be set as low as 59 degrees F. My home thermostat reads 61 degrees when put at this setting, so I think the calibration is off a bit on the unit. We use this unit to heat a large LR area (kept at 60 degrees overnight) and it does this quite well at only the moderate (4 element) heat setting. During the winter we keep our house at a cool 64 - 65 degrees when occupied. Seems cool, but if properly dressed, it makes a big difference in the heating bills...down 30% over prior winter heating costs for same month when we used to keep the house around 68 degrees constantly using our heat pump.

I turned mine on, set to Fahrenheit, then hit the menu button, then the "+" button to set the temp I wanted. Then you just hit the enter button to keep it at that temp.

I have the unit in my basement and wasnt watching it consistently after starting it up, but it cooled down down from the mid to high sixties at the start to the low to mid fifties (desired settings) within 2-3 hours. It has consistently remained at 53/54 degrees for the two zones respectively for the past few months. I'm very satisfied this far. Hope that helps.

I dont know, it didnt get above 32 here. However I dont see how it would, it seems to be a constant heat source. Mine just couldnt handle the cold apparently, it froze through the first night.

As others have said, make sure that you've set your programs to heat/cool in a way that fits your schedule. Also make sure that you've set the system to the appropriate setting. For example in the summer I set mine to "cool." In the fall/spring when I don't use the heating and cooling, I set it to "off" and then in the winter I switch it to "heat." These are the only things that I could think of that might be causing trouble.

There has to be a way to change it. I threw the directions away, but when u power on the device it shows Celsius before changing to Fahrenheit. I just can't figure out how to get C to stick

Hi Harold - there must be a defect then. I set mine for 345 and it stops at that - it will fluctuate a few degrees down when in use - but nothing major. I would contact them and have it replaced

You can set the temps yourself. I set my red zone for 55 & white for 48. I am very happy with the unit so far. I purchased it about 3 months ago.

the temp control is on upper left. The cooler is fairly quit. I use a cheap refrigerator thermometer to check the temp. It never varies around 59 degrees.

Looking at the control right now...Warm is the first selection then it jumps to 200, 250,300 and to 400. I have used all the temperatures.

I don't like to put the heat all the way up, but that's just me. On a 0 to 10 dial, I go 8 1/2 max. Hope that helped : )

Hi John,I was able to adjust mine at at least 2 settings. Granted I'm running a 180 degree thermostat. Iniallialy it was opening around 170 with the running to often. I now have it opening between 178 and 180 degrees. Are you running a 200 or 210 thermostat? Maybe there are less options at higher temps. Not sure on that one. Perhaps you have faulty module. Make sure you have your probe a short distance from the radiator inlet. I know the closer to the inlet the truer the temp readings are.Good Luck John

So far, it seems to stay at 400 which is where I set it. The other day, I raised the heat & when I turned it on the next time, it went right back to 400.
