Thermostat control rotary knob

The room temperature is regulated using the continuously adjustable thermostat.

Turn the thermostat control rotary knob to the right stop at the start (maximum). When the desired room temperature is reached, turn

the thermostat control rotary knob slowly to the left until the device switches off. The device now switches on and off automatically to maintain the desired room temperature. There may be an audible click during this process.
