Comfortheat MCD4 Programmable Thermostat
Introduction
The thermostat can switch on your heating system at predetermined times on different days of the week. For each day of the week, you can set individual temperatures for 4 different periods, called events. Lowering the temperature when the home is unoccupied will reduce your energy costs without reducing comfort. The thermostat comes with a default schedule suitable for most homes. Unless you change the settings, the thermostat will operate in compliance with the default schedule. Furthermore, the thermostat features an adaptive function that automatically changes heating period start times so as to ensure that the required temperature is reached at the set time. After three days the adaptive function has learned when the heating must be switched on.
First-time settings

- Set the actual hour and press the OK button. Then set the minutes.
- Press OK.
- Set the actual date: year, month, and day. Confirm the settings with the OK button.
