Product Information

The product being discussed is a thermostat manufactured by KALOR TECH. The thermostat can be connected to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and can be controlled using a voice assistant like Alexa or Google Assist. The device can also be remotely managed using a smartphone or tablet. The thermostat comes with a wall plate that needs to be inserted into the back of the new thermostat before installation. The device requires a physical installation and comes with a set of required tools, including a small and sloped screwdriver, a small Phillips screwdriver, a cable stripper (optional), a voltmeter (optional), and wire nuts.

Product Usage Instructions

Before installing the new thermostat, turn off the power from the main electrical panel. Unscrew the plate from the old thermostat and take note of the cabling. Insert the KALOR TECH wall plate into the back of the new thermostat, ensuring that the 6 raised tabs on the wall plate make contact with the back of the thermostat’s metal plate. Using a small sloped screwdriver, loosen the screws on the underside of the back of the thermostat corresponding to numbers 4, 3, and 1.

Insert the BLACK pigtail into slot 4. Tighten the screw and ensure that the cable cannot be pulled. Repeat this process for slot number 1 using a BLACK pigtail and for number 3 using the RED pigtail. Using wire nuts, attach the pigtail from slot 4 to the hot (live) wire (usually BLACK) in the box. Attach the number 3 (RED) pigtail to the neutral wire in the box (usually WHITE). Attach the number 1 pigtail to the load wire (usually BLACK) leading to the heater. Once all connections are tightly secured, push all cables in the box to make room for the back of the thermostat, and push the device back into the wall plate/electrical box. Restore power from the main panel and test the thermostat. The thermostat should display the temperature, and the power button at the center of the thermostat should glow orange. Using the up and down arrows, try raising the temperature by a few degrees. Ensure that your baseboard heater responds. Test the thermostat by turning it off, waiting a few minutes, and checking to see if your baseboard heater has cooled off.

The thermostat also has a home screen that includes an on-off button, a mode button, and a clock. You can use the up and down arrows to increase or decrease parameters for a given setting. The device can also be remotely managed using a smartphone or tablet. To set up remote management, download and install either the Tuya or Smart Life apps from the Google Store or Apple Store. Once installed, create a new account or sign in if prior devices had been added to the account. In the app, click the Add Device icon (+) to add a device to find. Select Small Home Appliance from the categories on the left and choose Thermostat (Wi-Fi) from the choices.
