Reviewing Your Family Schedule Write the answers to the following questions in the spaces provided to determine the program that fits your family schedule. What comfort temperature would you like to maintain? What energy savings temperature would you like to maintain? What time does the first person get up in the morning? Is anyone home all day? What times does the last person leave in the morning?
Setting The Temperature For Heating: Set the left lever (blue mark) to the energy savings temperature you want when you are sleeping or your home is unoccupied. See Fig. 1. Set the right lever (red mark) to the tem- perature you want for normal comfort periods. NOTE: You may bypass the time program by setting both the red and blue levers to the same temperature setpoint.
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 lever to desired position. Stop switch lever in detent over the desired function indicator mark for proper circuit operation.
Inserting Timer Batteries Power is supplied to the timer by two AAA alkaline batteries (included.) Install batteries in thermostat as shown. See Fig. 2. One a year, or when batteries are dead, replace with two new AAA alkaline batteries. We recommend Energizer®...
