6.2. Te Tautuhinga i te Pawera
- To unlock the controller and enter temperature setting mode, long press the child lock button (key icon) for 1-3 seconds. The current temperature display will begin flashing, indicating it is ready for adjustment.
- Pehia te temperature cycle button (up/down arrows icon) repeatedly to adjust the desired temperature. Each press will change the temperature by 0.5°F or 0.5°C. The available setting range is 59°F-94°F (15°C-34°C).
- After you stop operating the controller for approximately 3 seconds, the device will automatically enter the child lock state, preventing accidental changes to the set temperature.
6.3. Switching Temperature Units (°F/°C)
Pehia te Pihi F / C on the controller to toggle between Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C) temperature displays.
6.4. Intelligent Heating Operation
The AQQA heater features an intelligent constant temperature system:
- When the water temperature is lower than the set temperature, the heater will automatically activate and warm the water.
- Once the water temperature reaches the set temperature, the heater will switch to a low-power mode to maintain the temperature within a 0.5°F/°C difference from the set point, optimizing energy efficiency.
