I've just had a new boiler installed- all done in a hurry for obvious reasons, BUT I didn't realise I was going to acquire this all singing all dancing thermostat that I do NOT understand. I expected something nice and simple like my last boiler!

The men did show me what to do before leaving but I didn't understand and relied on there being a manual with clear instructions. I always prefer to read and slowly digest!
All I got was a "Quick Start User Guide" which is incomprehensible. Have trawled the internet and finally found a site where I can download a user manual it says, but when I try to do so, it tells me there is a problem and the file may be damaged, so no joy. It might not be any use anyway!!
I ended up accidentally programming it to come on at 3am in the morning and run for 10 min. then go off for 15min. then on, off. .. After a frenzy of button pushing I seem to have managed to switch of the heating but have hot water still.
I can live with this and fan heaters, - the weather is milder,
But I wonder if anyone has a set of very clear idiot proof instructions for this or know where I can get one? Or any other advice?
I am about to try phoning but don;t hold out much hope. It would be impossible to learn over the phone anyway. I'm reasonable with computers and a smartphone but this thing laves me beat!

At the bottom of mine, it states MENU, AUTO and Manual. Mine is supposedly working on Manual so has a box around it.

The lowest T mine can reach is 5C so I press the + button so that it reaches its desired T. Desired for it but not for me.
The T on this thing states 19C so to get a warm room I have to put mine to around 22C but it soon reaches that T so switches off and I am cold.

I only ever had the T on at 18C before, I will soon be bankrupt if I have to start at 22C.

Does this make any sense?

My plumber told me that the vast majority of people did not know how to programme the time which is what I wanted as I wanted it on at 6 pm in the evening and off at 10 pm during the winter.

I at least get heat but at what cost? He is returning this week so fix something else- I will need yet another lesson in how this thing works.

If your room is not warm enough take the control thing down to your coldest room. It will then keep heating your main room nicely.

This is the coldest room, unfortunately. It is the living room, the staircase is in the corner, heat rises so going upstairs would be useless.
