and high temperatures for energy savings and comfort con-
trol (Fig. 12). The lever on the left (blue mark) controls the
lowertemperature.Theleverontheright(redmark)controls
the higher temperature.
We recommend pushing the levers together at an appro-
priate temperature for either heat or cool until the occupant
programs the thermostat and makes the final temperature
selections.

SET SUBBASE SWITCHES (IF APPLICABLE)
The subbase system switch controls system operation as
follows:
HEAT: Heating system is controlled by the thermostat.
Cooling system is off.
COOL: Cooling system is controlled by the thermostat.
Heating system is off.
OFF: Both the heating and cooling systems are off. If the
fan switch is in the AUTO position, the fan is also off.
Thesubbase fanswitchcontrols fanoperationas follows:
ON: Fan operates continuously.
AUTO: Fan operates with the cooling equipment as
controlledbythethermostatorwiththeheatingequip-
ment as controlled by the plenum switch. In electric
heat, heat pump, and fan coil systems, the fan is
controlled by the thermostat in heating and cooling.
To switch positions, use thumb or index finger to slide
levertothedesiredposition.Switch levermuststopindetent
over the desired function indicator mark for proper circuit

CAUTION
Do not check operation by shorting across the
terminals of the system controls. This will damage
the heat anticipator.
HEATING-ONLY SYSTEM
Turn on power to the furnace.
Pushboth temperaturesettinglevers togetheratleast5°F
[3°C] above the room temperature. The main burner should
come on. The fan will start when the furnace heats up.
Move both levers 5°F [3°C] below the room tempera-
ture. The burner should shut off.
Operate the entire heating system at least one complete
cycle.
If thermostat fails any test, refer to the Troubleshooting
Guide in the Owner’s Manual.
Reset both temperature setting levers to the desired
temperatures.
COOLING-ONLY SYSTEM
Turn on power to the cooling equipment.
Pushboth temperaturesettinglevers togetheratleast 5°F
[3°C] below the room temperature. The cooling equipment
will operate, and the fan will start. Allow for any time delay
that may be built into the compressor control circuit.
NOTE: To avoid compressor damage, do not operate the
systemwhenoutdoortemperatureisbelow50°F[10°C].
Refer to manufacturer recommendations.
Move both levers 5°F [3°C] above room temperature.
The cooling equipment and the fan should shut off.
Operate the entire cooling system at least one complete
cycle.
If thermostat fails any test, refer to the Troubleshooting
Guide in the Owner’s Manual.
Reset both temperature setting levers to the desired
temperatures.
HEATING/COOLING SYSTEM
Turn on power to the furnace and cooling system.
Place the system switch lever to HEAT and fan switch
lever to AUTO.
Pushboth temperaturesettinglevers togetheratleast 5°F
[3°C] above room temperature. The main burner should
come on. The fan will start when the furnace heats up. (If
central electric heat, fan coil or heat pump system, fan starts
immediately.)
Move both levers 5°F [3°C] below room temperature.
The burner should shut off.
