ENERGY TIPOne way to set and use your room thermostat is to find the lowesttemperature setting that you are comfortable with, and then leave it set atthis temperature. You can do this by setting the room thermostat to a lowtemperature, (for example 17 °C) and then increasing the setting by onedegree each day until you are comfortable with the room temperature - youwon’t have to adjust the thermostat further, as adjustment above this settingwill waste energy - a 1 °C increase in temperature is equal to 3% of yourheating costs.MAINTENANCEThe RT500RF programmable thermostat requires no special maintenance.Periodically, the outer casing can be wiped clean using a dry cloth (pleaseDO NOT use solvents, polishes, detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these candamage the thermostat).There are no user serviceable parts within the unit; any servicing or repairsshould only be carried out by Salus Controls or their appointed agents.Should the RT500RF programmable thermostat fail to function correctly,check:• The batteries are the correct type, fitted correctly and are not exhausted- fit new batteries if in doubt.• Heating system is switched on.• The RT500RF Receiver is switched on.• If the RT500RF is still not functioning correctly, press the Reset Button.WARRANTYSalus Controls warrants that this product will be free from any defect inmaterials or workmanship, and shall perform in accordance with itsspecification, for a period of two years from the date of purchase.
