The thermostat is accurately calibrated
before leaving the factory and no further
calibration should be necessary. If the
thermostat appears to be out of calibration
or for any reason fails to function properly,
a qualified serviceperson should proceed as
follows:
1. The anticipator’s heat may adversely affect
thermostat recalibration. To prevent this,
disconnect electrical power power to the
thermostat at the furnace, main fuse, or
breaker box.
2. Move temperature adjustment lever to a
setting about 5° above room temperature.
3. Remove thermostat cover. Slip 7/32” wrench
onto hex nut beneath bimetal. While
holding temperature adjustment lever
stationary, turn hex nut clockwise until
mercury shifts to the right end of the tube
(fig. 7).
4. Move temperature adjustment lever to
lowest setting.
5. Replace thermostat cover. Wait 10 min.
for bimetal temperature to stabilize. Do
not stand near the thermostat during this
period, as your breath and body heat will
affect bimetal temperature.
6. Move temperature adjustment lever to
correspond to actual room temperature.
Then remove thermostat cover.
7. Slip 7/32” wrench onto hex nut. While
holding temperature adjustment lever
stationary, turn hex nut counter-clockwise
until mercury just barely shifts to the left
end of the tube.
8. Replace thermostat cover and set
temperature adjustment lever to desired
temperature. Turn on electrical power to
system.

FIG. 6. CALIBRATING THERMOSTAT
Some heating installations require longer or
shorter “ON”, “OFF” periods to maintain even
temperatures. For average conditions, set the
heat anticipator indicator to match the current
rating of the primary heating control. Move
indicator approximately 1/2 division in direction
indicated by the arrows on the thermostat for
longer “ON” cycles, or move lever in opposite
direction for shorter “ON” cycles. Allow at
least 24 hours to determine if setting provides
satisfactory operation before making any
further adjustments.
