The AGA is great - it has no settings at all
Aga's do have settings.
Fueled and unfueld.
Our condensing boiler has a digital temp setting for the circulating water temperature. It’s set to the highest value permanently. There’s a tank stat too. Why change it? I like hot water.
Why would you not want to save about 10% on your heating bills? As Kim sed. Modern boilers only work at full efficiency if return is below 55C. Our Ch rad flow is 49C and the house is a comfy 20C. Hot water is set to 55 which gives a very pleasant shower. Boiler is running at low output and no on off cycling so reduced wear. Ian's OP and the follow ups are amusing but let's not be luddites.
I've got a fancy stat hooked up to the OpenTherm terminals, (It was left lying around after Dad bought an incompatible boiler) the problem with this is I suspect the previous owner never had the decent enough boiler serviced and there's what sounds like a bearing howling somewhere at tick over.
Or in fact any of the other pretty decent stuff* she seems to have had installed (although I suspect it was the previous owners doing the place up for sale)
I've not died of CO poisoning yet and the new regulations complement of alarms were fitted before lockdown so I'm just going to have to hope until it's dodgy enough to claim to be a pressing safety need...
But what toaster dial number do you use?
What exactly do those numbers mean?
On most toasters I've come across I'm a 3 for fresh bread and about 20 for frozen.
On the toaster I've bought I seem to be a 3 on frozen bread and have to watch the discolouration as it turns from white to slightly browned in order to hit the eject button before it's beyond my preference level.
* Top end 8kg LG steam washer
top end of Zanussi scale for dishwasher and fridge/frezer
5 ring gas hob (I've almost got round to trying out the pan I have on each one, still burning water having been used to halogen)
Remote controlled living flame gas fire
For toast, I just twist the dial to max and manually pop it when I see the first curls of smoke. Undercooked, raw toast is horrid.
All modern toasters are rubbish. We just use the grill.
1:23 it has destroyed the bread rendering it a charred mess, even the modern toaster produced borderline vileness.
Pretty cool mechanisms though
Well except for the safety mechanisms...
