It also has smart settings, such as holiday mode, service mode, Frost protection and a sleep setting.  Like many Salus thermostats, this one is also operated by Radio Frequency (RF). The outer border of the round dial screen is actually a very clever touch sensitive scroll pad.

The screen displays a lot of useful information, like the time (12/24hr), day, temperature, burner active icon, and can even display a phone number to a service engineer (service mode) for you to call when the service is due. It is entirely up to you when you set the service date. It can be changed at any time. Review the video above or refer to the manual for instructions on how to do this.
