Please help! Thermostat wrong/not working...urgent

[cyanidebaby]

I brought little Morrigan home yesterday, but soon realised the Zoomed starter kit with lamps etc had the wrong dimensions for me to clean etc in my wheelchair. I rang the reptile shop and asked if I could switch to a mat or if I needed a new stat in order to do that. They said my stat would be fine, so I purchased a mat and a RUB. Now my temps are climbing and I'm not sure if they were wrong, or if I haven't set it right. I am controlling temps myself by plugging in and taking out when it beeps, but I can't do that overnight.

The stat is this one:

Habistat Digital Temperature Thermostat DN + Timer | Swell Reptiles

I am sorry, I am not familiar with that particular thermostat model, but I would do a basic sanity check of all the connections and settings:
- Temperature probe attached to thermostat and then placed on hottest portion of floor, right above mat.
- Mat plugged into correct outlet on thermostat.
- Temperature set to correct level and time cycle on mat outlet.

Hopefully, you have a manual for the thermostat that you can refer to in order to walk through resetting the temperature?

EDIT: You can download the manual in PDF from this web page (under "Downloads") if you don't have it.
