The way to set and use your room thermostat is to find the lowest temperature setting that you are comfortable with, and then leave it alone to do its job. The heating system will not work if a time switch or programmer has switched it off. Turning a room thermostat to a lower setting will result in the room being controlled at a lower temperature, and saves energy. Neither does the setting affect how quickly the room cools down. How quickly the room heats up depends on the design of the heating system, for example, the size of boiler and radiators. Turning a room thermostat to a higher setting will not make the room heat up any faster. It works by sensing the air temperature, switching on the heating when the air temperature falls below the thermostat setting, and switching it off once this set temperature has been reached. An explanation for householders A room thermostat simply switches the heating system on and off as necessary. Installation / User Guide 06490056001 (09/05) User Guide What is a room thermostat?.
