Troubleshooting step

Attach the Room Thermostat to a wall in the coldest room of the house if controlling the main source of heating, or attach it in the room that you want to control if controlling an individual zone.

First screw the backplate to the wall in the chosen room. Then fit the Room Thermostat onto the backplate by aligning it and sliding down.

Tips for locating the Room Thermostat correctly:

• At chest height (so it measures the correct temperature).

• On an internal wall (so it measures the correct temperature and is not affected by being on a cold surface).

• Not next to any direct sources of heat (so that it measures the temperature of the zone and is not affected immediately by a heat source in the room).
