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.

Technically, “Celsius” rather then centigrade!
We are more or less used to Deg C in Canada after about 40 years of using it.
Deg F are still sometimes used though. Older folks understand both while kids
have no idea what a yard or a pound is!

My KPA500 displays the temperature in degrees Centigrade. Just remember,
small numbers cooler, larger numbers hotter. Normal room temp is about 23 to
25 degrees C. 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.
Just for the record:
23 C = 73.4F
25 C = 77 F
50 C = 122F
55 C = 131F
60 C = 140F
65 C = 149F
90 C = 194F
Otherwise, [C x 9/5] + 32 = F degrees

Just a short note to let you know I am really enjoying my KPA1500.... it does
all that is supposed to and more. 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
