To the right of the Menu button are 3
Mode buttons:

(including OFF).
2) The second controls Fan Mode.
3) The third controls Air Cleaner Mode.
Each button has mode options to choose
from. The chosen mode is conveniently
displayed on its home screen button so
you can see the functions your system is
performing.
1) System Mode
The “Auto” System Mode will
switch between heating and
cooling automatically.
“Heating” and “Cooling”
modes are dedicated
modes. For example, you
may wish to set your sys-
tem to “Heating” in winter
months so your cooling unit
does not run. Likewise, you may wish to set your system to “Cooling” in summer
months so that your furnace does not run.
To completely turn off your system, select “Off”.
2) Fan Mode
In “Auto” Fan Mode the sys-
tem’s fan will run only when
the system runs.
The fan will run continuously
when the Fan Mode is set to
“On”.
The “Circulate” Fan Mode
will run the fan at least 10-
55 minutes out of every hour, decreasing hot/cool spots throughout your house.
