Cooling operation is less obvious - I think the cooler itself runs to a very coarse setting and the heater is used for fine control. In particular, I think you have to set an auxiliary control output on the temperature controller to enable the cooler. I have had this working so it's not impossible but may require a bit of fiddling. | Cooling operation is less obvious - I think the cooler itself runs to a very coarse setting and the heater is used for fine control.

The user interface is still a mystery to me but I pressed buttons until the top red numbers showed current temperature, the lower red numbers showed "100.0" (desired temperature) and the XK1 and "hand" red LEDS were illuminated. I left the green switch with a snowflake symbol off. | The user interface is still a mystery to me but I pressed buttons until the top red numbers showed current temperature, the lower red numbers showed "100.0" (desired temperature) and the XK1 and "hand" red LEDS were illuminated.
