Struggling to get the most out of your home heating system? Your EPH CP4 thermostat (including RFRP, CP4M, and CP4B models) is more powerful than you might think. Let's break down exactly how to use this versatile device to keep your home perfectly comfortable while maximising efficiency.

Understanding the Operating Modes

Auto Mode: Your Daily Schedule Assistant

The Auto mode is where your thermostat really shines. Instead of simple on/off times, you can set up to six different temperature periods throughout the day. Here's what makes it special:

• Program up to 6 different time and temperature combinations
• No specific "off" times - just set lower temperatures for periods of less activity
• Heating activates automatically when room temperature falls below your set point

‍

Manual Mode: Direct Control

Sometimes you need to override your regular schedule. Manual mode lets you:

• Set a single target temperature
• Maintain that temperature until you change modes
• Adjust temperature easily with plus and minus buttons

‍

Off Mode: Built-in Protection

Even when turned off, your thermostat looks after your home:

• System remains inactive but monitors temperature
• Frost protection activates if temperature drops below 5°C
• Perfect for extended absences

Setting Up Your Daily Schedule

Here's an example of an efficient daily program:

1. 6:30 AM (P1): 21°C - Wake up to a warm home
2. 8:00 AM (P2): 10°C - Energy saving while you're out
3. 5:00 PM (P5): 21°C - Comfort for evening activities
4. 9:00 PM (P6): 10°C - Economy overnight
