The heater can be turned on or off by holding the Centre keypad button. The heater can be turned on or off by holding the Centre keypad button.
The desired temperature, or fixed heat demand can be altered by pressing the Up / Down keys. The desired temperature, or fixed heat demand can be altered by pressing the Up / Down keys.
If in thermostat mode, the desired value is placed as a small triangle to the left of the measured "temperature bulb" on the left hand side of the screen.
The actual temperature is shown below the bulb.
Once started, the desired setting is reported beneath the "target" icon, as degC or Hz, depending upon thermostat or fixed demand modes.
With the heater idle, the menu will look something like below: With the heater idle, the menu will look something like below:

Once the body temperature rises over about 65 degrees or so, the glow plug is shut down, all the while the fuel pump is progressively starts running faster until at full speed.
