PROGRAMMING NOTE:

 

 

Once in the programming process and you want to advance 
the programming procedure, you may bypass some of the 
DAYS or PERIODS OF DAY, by pushing the AHEAD or BACK 
buttons.  This allows you to eliminate the need to enter the 
TIME and TEMPERATURE for each DAY/PERIOD speeding 
up the programming process by skipping some of the ”software 
prompts”.  Once the LCD screen displays a DAY/PERIOD you 
want to reprogram, press the PROG button and follow the 
programming steps outlined above.
