 ECO Reset

Reseting a High Limit (Thermal Cutout, ECO) trip requires 
manual intervention and can not be reset by cycling power to 
the control. A manual reset requires turning the temperature 
setting dial to the lowest (coldest) position for a minimum of 10 
seconds and then returning it to the desired setpoint. A manual 
reset is allowed after each of the 

fi

 rst two ECO trips. After a 

third ECO trip, the control enters a hard lockout state.
