Programmed mode is ideal for optimizing energy efficiency by adjusting temperatures based on your daily routines.
Hold Mode⁚ This mode temporarily overrides any programmed schedules, allowing you to maintain a constant temperature for a specific period. Hold mode is useful for situations where you need to keep the temperature consistent, such as during a party or when you’re away from home for an extended period.
The specific names and functionality of operation modes might differ slightly based on your particular Aube thermostat model. It’s essential to consult your user manual for detailed information and instructions specific to your thermostat.
5.1. Manual Mode
