2. Unități de temperatură comutabile (°F/°C):

   Pentru a comuta între Fahrenheit și Celsius, țineți apăsat butonul SET button for approximately 3 seconds until the unit flashes. Use the - or + button to select your preferred unit, then press OK pentru a confirma.

3. Înțelegerea afișajului:

   The display shows the current temperature (PV), the set temperature (SV), and the output power percentage. The power meter bars indicate the current power output to the heating device. As the ambient temperature approaches the set temperature, the output power will gradually decrease (dimming) to maintain stability.
