SETTINGS
Setting Fan and System Switches
Fan and system settings are controlled by
using the Fan and System switches located on
the top of the thermostat case.
First set the Fan switch:
AUTO: Normal setting for most homes. In
cooling, the fan goes off and on with
the cooling equipment. In heating, the
fan starts a few minutes after the
heating equipment comes on.
ON: The fan runs continuously. Use for
improved air circulation and air quality.
Then set the System switch:
COOL: Normal setting for months when your
home needs cooling (air conditioning).
Digital display shows a snowflake
when cooling is on.
OFF: Both heating and cooling are off.
HEAT: Normal setting for months when your
home needs heating. Digital display
shows a flame when heating is on.
PROGRAMMING
The thermostat is already programmed for your
convenience with the time and temperature
settings in Table 1.
