Hi Steve,
Looks like quite a similar product to Haverland's range of wall-mounted radiators https://haverland.co.uk/electric-radiators/ - I wouldn't have bought them myself, but our flat has two, one on the landing and the other in the kitchen, as well as seven storage radiators in various rooms and another make of heater in the bathroom. Our actual use has just encompassed three of the storage heaters (two don't work anyway), now and again the Haverland in the kitchen, the bathroom heater at its lowest temperature setting, and three or four Belling Champions on occasion to make up for low settings of the storage heaters.
We've not even tried to use the kitchen Haverland other than in manual mode as and when we've felt cold in there, but have observed that its settings were held at least for a few weeks when powered down. I seem to recall that last year's six month summer rest period, the first since we bought the flat, was long enough for the settings to be lost. On the strength of that I would be leaving the heater powered through the summer if I were at all reluctant to repeat the fairly simple steps required to reinstate manual operation, but I'm not so I won't. My guess would be that the Ecowärme radiators too would forget what they've been told if left without power for months, but it's only a guess. The manual, https://www.electricradiatorsdirect.co.u...1526987169 , doesn't appear to have anything to say on the subject: why not try a call or a letter to the manufacturers to ask them? I see at the end of the manual there's a note to the effect that EU regulations have forbidden such heaters to be installed without an additional programmable room temperature controller, something that in our situation at least would be a perfectly useless elaboration.
