2. Adjusting the Temperature Setpoint and Presets
The temperature setpoint is the value for the cabinet temperature. The temperature
differential for the heater(s) to turn on or off is ±1.5°F (±0.8°C) of the temperature setpoint.
For example, with a temperature setpoint of 130°F (54.4°C), the heater(s) come on at
128.5°F (53.6°C) and the heater(s) go off at 131.5°F (55.2°C). If necessary, adjust the
temperature setpoint as follows:
1) To change the temperature setpoint, press and release the "P" button or the up or down
button. The current temperature setpoint appears. Press the up or down button until
the desired value is displayed. After a few seconds, the display returns to the current
cabinet temperature and the temperature setpoint is saved.
2) To change between preset setpoints, press and hold the "U" and "P" buttons together
for 5 seconds. Press the Up or Down arrow to scroll through the presets. Press the "P"
button to save the selection. Press and hold the "U" button to return to normal display
mode.
