Your thermostat has been pre-programmed from the factory with no
programming necessary. We recommend using these pre-programmed settings
for a few days before altering them as they offer maximum energy saving
benets. If you do decide to alter your programs, use the charts on page 13
to write out your scheduled times and temperatures. After you have recorded
your preferences, follow the instructions on page 14 to alter your temperature
settings.
There is no need to program the thermostat at the wall where it is mounted!
Remove the thermostat from the backplate by gripping the sides rmly and
pulling it straight off. This allows you to program the thermostat in comfort.
After you have programmed your thermostat, no other setting changes are
necessary unless you wish to browse through the menu to see how you may
further adjust the independent settings of your thermostat to meet your lifestyle.
The features section starting on page 28 of this manual will describe these
settings. Most settings have been preset for optimal performance.
If you need any assistance with installion or setup of your new
Hunter Thermostat, please call us, our technical support staff is
ready to help!
