OPERATION
Setting FAN and SYSTEM Switches
Fan and system settings are controlled manually by 
using the switches located at the bottom of the 
thermostat case. See Fig. 8.
FAN Switch
Fan switch settings are:
On: The fan runs continuously. Use for improved air 
circulation and air quality.
Auto: Normal setting for most homes. In cooling, the 
fan starts and stops with the cooling equipment. In 
heating, the fan is controlled directly by the heating 
equipment and may start a few minutes after the 
heating equipment turns on (on most systems). 
When using an electric heat thermostat, the fan 
starts and stops with the heating equipment.
