Switching to Eco Temperature is done in much the same way as switching between heating and off modes, but there are some differences.

Things to bear in mind

• When you manually switch to Eco, your thermostat will ignore all scheduled temperatures until you manually switch it back to heating.

• If your thermostat automatically switched to Eco because everyone was away, it will switch back to your normal temperature schedule when someone comes home.

Heat	Your thermostat will start heating to try to maintain any scheduled temperatures or a temperature that you’ve manually selected.
Off	When your system is off, it will only heat to try to maintain your  safety temperature. Your heating will not turn on to meet any scheduled temperatures and you won’t be able to manually change the temperature until you switch your thermostat to another mode. If your thermostat controls hot water, you’ll still be able to control it in off mode. Learn about off mode >
Eco	Your system will try to heat your home to the Eco Temperature. Note: The Eco Temperature was set during thermostat installation, but you can change it at any time. If you manually set your thermostat to Eco or you set your home to  Away, it won’t follow its temperature schedule. You’ll need to switch it to heating mode before you can change the temperature or go back to your regular schedule. If your thermostat automatically set itself to Eco because you were away, it will automatically return to its regular schedule when it notices that someone has arrived home.
