Operating  the  Heat  Pump  for  Automatic 
Cooling & Heating (Autochangeover)

1. Set  the  thermostat  system  switch  to  AUTO  and  the 

thermostat fan switch to AUTO.

note:

 Thermostats  will  vary.  Some  models  will  not 

include the AUTO mode, others will have the AUTO in 
place of HEAT and COOL, and some will include all three.

2. Set the thermostat temperature to the desired heating 

and cooling temperature level(s). The outdoor unit and 

the indoor blower will then cycle on and off in either 
the heating or cooling mode of operation as required 
to automatically maintain the indoor temperature within 
the desired limits.

Operating the Indoor blower Continuously

Continuous indoor blower operation is typically used to 

circulate the indoor air to equalize a temperature imbalance 
due to a solar load, cooking, or fireplace operation.

Set the thermostat fan mode to ON (Figure 1). The indoor 

blower starts immediately, and will run continuously until 

the fan mode is reset to AUTO. 

Continuous  indoor  blower  operation  can  be  obtained 

with the thermostat system mode set in any position, 

including OFF.

Shutting the Heat Pump Off

Change the thermostat’s system mode to OFF and the 
fan mode to AUTO. 

note:

 The system will not operate, 

regardless of the temperature selector setting.

TROUbLESHOOTINg

Before you call a Technician, check the following:
•  Check the thermostat setting. Make sure the system 

mode and temperature settings are correct.

•  Check the electrical panel for tripped circuit breakers. 
•  Check the filters for dust accumulation.
•  Check the unit and make sure it is clean and not covered
