The thermostat also has a frost protection seiting marked , This setting is useful in areas such as garages, to prevent frost damage. If ihe thermostat is set to its minimum setting, the heater will cycle on and off to maintain a temperature of approximately 5° to help protect against frost.

Note - Should the heater fail to come on when the thermostat is at a low seiting, this may be due to the room temperature being higher than the thermostat setting.
