Hunter’s Auto Recovery feature meets the ENERGY STAR
®
guidelines for energy efficiency by allowing the heating or
cooling system to recover gradually from an energy-saving
setpoint temperature to a comfort setpoint temperature.
Auto Recovery calculates how early to turn your system
back On, so that the room temperature is already comfort-
able by the start of the comfort temperature program pe-
riod. Auto Recovery works in both Heat and Cool modes.
For example, in Heat mode, you could have the following
programs:
Program #4 (Overnight) Program # (Morning)
Set Temp = 60°F
Set Temp = 68°F
Time = 0PM
Time = 6AM
The room temperature fell to 60°F overnight. Rather than
having the thermostat turning on at 6AM, Auto Recovery
would note the temperature difference between 60°F and
68°F and turn the Heat on approximately 0 minutes early.
Therefore, the room temperature at 6AM would be about
68°F instead of 60°F.
■ When the thermostat is in Auto Recovery mode, the
display will alternate “RECOVERY” with the day, and the
program indicator will flash.

tion hold Temporary hold or Home Today is in operation.

mediately).
■ Auto Recovery will be canceled if HOME TODAY or HOLD
is pressed during the recovery process. The thermostat
will enter Home Today, Permanent Hold, or Vacation
