Adaptive Start

The built-in electronics in this appliance hava a learning function with regards to how long it takes to heat up a

room. Having learnt how quickly it can heat up your room, the appliance is able to turn on at just the right time in

order to get the room up to a comfortable temperature when you want it. For example, if you get up at 7am, you

would normally have to guess when to turn the heating on in order for it to pre-heat the room in time. Depending on

how cold it is outside, this could mean the room is still cold when you have to get out of bed, or mean that its been

warm for half an hour before it needed to be. Adaptive Start means that if you select 21ºC at 7am, the heater will

turn on exactly when it needs to in order to meet this target, running for shorter periods of time when the weather

is mild, and ensuring the room is nice and warm in the winter.

The Adaptive Start function will automatically activate when you use the Timer Mode.
