Exactly the same as mine, works well, still going strong after about 5 years

Anybody know how to turn the elements on/off independently? Many thanks

I am now fairly certain that my problem lies within this reply

@Davegase thank you so much, I did not find those settings on the controller, I need to have a play with that, the fog has lifted a little :thumbsup:

Right ! I think i know what the problem was. The heating level in the RAPT Portal was set to 35%, and I'm sure that was my fault, it was my first ever brew with an all in one system and it's certainly going to take some getting used to. What I as yet do not understand is if I set the temp to...
