How warm is too warm? You need to give it time to cooldown. Floor heating is great for many reasons but it is very slow to cooldown and fairly slow warming up.

We always have ours at 3, which heats roughly till 20C
Floor heating takes 3-4 days to be where you want it (Walls and furniture Need to take the Temperature)
Our Appartement is on the second floor, with floors above and beneath. We only need to heat in december and january.
If your room is small and well isolated you might not even need to turn it on.

Get a room thermometer with humidity display. They’re dirt cheap. What temperature is the floor? What temperature is the air? What temperature is the wall the thermostat is on?
Setting 2 is like 16-17°C. Snowflake is “only heat if very low temperatures are reached”. If the floor is warm/hot even though you had it on low setting for 6+ hours, the valve is stuck open or the data transfer does not work. If the floor is chill but the room is still warm, the heat is coming from somewhere else, like another room or your neighbour might be heating at maximum.
Generally with floor heating, always leave it on your target temperature (usually ~20°C) and don’t change it too often.

The square would refer to the standard temperature that your central heating has been set to. A normal value would be 21C but this can vary. The numbers above would allow you to increase the temperature slightly (+2 degrees max normally) and the numbers below would make it a little cooler.
Just be aware that if you have a central floor heating, it will take some time for the temperature to adjust. If the outside temperature is rising, it might be too warm by the time that you heating has reacted…

number 3 is regularly assigned to 20°C germany.
it’s not guaranteed to be exactly 20°C, but i would assume so and take this as reference for future settings.
Every number below / above is regularly a step of 5°C.
the lowest setting (snowflake) is off, but actually it’s not off, but will start heat if the temperatures will reach below 5°C

You turn it up for warm down for not warm
