adjustment; turning the unit off and back on before
pressures equalize puts stress on unit compressor.
Fan Switch
In AUTO or INT (intermittent) mode, the blower operates
only when the thermostat calls for heating or cooling. This
mode is generally preferred when humidity control is a
priority. The ON or CONT mode provides continuous indoor
blower operation, regardless of whether the compressor or
auxiliary heat are operating. This mode is required when
constant air circulation or filtering is desired.
System Switch
Set the system switch for heating, cooling, or auto opera-
tion. The auto mode allows the heat pump to automatically
switch from heating mode to cooling mode to maintain
predetermined comfort settings. Many heat pump thermo-
stats are also equipped with an emergency heat mode
which locks out heat pump operation and provides
temporary heat supplied by the auxiliary heat.
Indicating Light
Most heat pump thermostats have an amber light which
indicates when the heat pump is operating in the emer-
gency heat mode.
Temperature Indicator
The temperature indicator displays the actual room
temperature.
Programmable Thermostats
Your system may be controlled by a programmable thermo-
stat. These thermostats provide the added feature of
programmable time-of-day setpoints for both heating and
cooling. Refer to the user’s information manual provided
with your particular thermostat for operation details.
