  1. Select mode: Use thermostat to choose Cool, Heat, or Auto.
  2. Set temperature: Adjust setpoint for comfort.
  3. Fan operation: Set to Auto for efficiency or On for constant circulation.
  4. Monitor performance: Check thermostat for system status and alerts.
  5. Use schedules: Program daily or weekly schedules for energy savings.
  6. Zoning control: If installed, adjust zone temperatures independently.
  7. Humidity control: System automatically adjusts to maintain set humidity.
  8. Emergency heat: Use for backup if heat pump is insufficient.

WARNING! Do not set thermostat below 60°F in cooling or above 85°F in heating to prevent coil freeze or system strain.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures efficiency and longevity.

  1. Monthly: Check and replace air filters.
