[Bob Nielsen - N7XY]

As I recall from school, Thomas Jefferson proposed that the U.S. switch 
to the metric system over 300 years ago.  Of course our reactionary 
Congress then, as now, dug in their feet and stopped it cold.

The fan switches on at 50, steps up at 55, steps up at 60 and steps up at 65.........as I recall.  The book says maximum temperature must be less than 90 degrees C.   To me, that is all one needs to know about Centigrade.

I do have one suggestion that perhaps you could add to the menu would be ability to switch temp from C to F or what ever one wants. I personally just not in tune with C deg! Thanks, 73's Cort K4WI
