I do not have an automatic and programmable thermostat, but a dial one from Honeywell. It is in degrees Celsius only. I usually set it at 20 degrees when I am at home. A few days I saw a King (US brand) cold milk dispenser that did not deliver milk at safe temperatures (green zone) between 32 and 40 degrees (F); but in a safe range between 0 and 4 degrees Celsius. I saw them in Fahrenheit a few years earlier, thegreen zone was between 32 to 40 degrees, without qualifier. Some people here may have thought that it delivered warm milk.

I had won this thing as a door prize some years ago and never used it until recently. Like you I had an older thermostat of a different brand that was in degrees Celsius, selectable by a solder jumper. I just changed the jumper so it would work in degrees Celsius. And everything was fine for many years. <snip>
