Hi Guys

I can't get the thermostat in my apartment to change down from what seems a default 40 degrees. Pressing the down arrow does nothing! It's hot in herre!!! Help me bros!

Nope - it's a different apartment and a different thermo this time! I can't solve it like I did last time because the buttons are different.

Check the photo:http://s1092.photobucket.com/user/mikelong0609/media/IMG_0022.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0[/

(Just highlight the link, right-click and hit 'open link in new tab')


Do you have a model number? Look around for some literature, or check if there's something obvious on the unit on your veranda or wherever it is.

That may, or may not, be the same.

I suppose there is a small switch on the bottom of the control panel. Under the barcode thing.
Once you switch that you should be able to set the room temperature rather than the current water in the floor temperature.

Also, might want to take the image down and host it somewhere else as your personal info is showing there.

Well done Lazio!

There is indeed a switch under the barcode!!!

It does indeed let you alter the temperature.

I've done as you suggested and I lowered it to 18 degrees. It flipped back to 23 degrees straight after I did this but I guess maybe it will take a few hours to adjust?

So, was that it? The little switch under the unit was simply set to be displaying the water temperature instead of the room temperature?

Cheers mate! Very grateful for your help:)

PS Are you a Fan of Lazio the Football Team? If so I recommend the book "Gazza Agonistes" by Ian Hamilton about the great Paul Gascoigne's days at Lazio in the early 1990s. This time was when I first became a big fan of James Richardson for his reporting on the show "Football Italia"

You are welcome.

Yes I was a fan in the late 90s and early 00s. I was too young in the early 90s. Back in high school we all had our soccer team and would discuss the Champions League games etc. A couple of years later I lost interest I guess. Still check on them how they are doing but I don't follow it as closely.
