When set above 3°C in the LCD, will display correctly in the integration\u003cbr\u003e\n    When you set it to 5 in the integration, it reverts back to max 3°C.\n-   Some values are read-only. I do not understand why this choice was made by \n    Itho, I have asked them\u003cbr\u003e to make all settings writeable...
