Fan Switch
The Fan switch settings are:
On: The fan runs continuously. Use for improved air 
circulation. (Recommended position with whole-house 
air cleaners.)
Auto: Normal setting for most homes. In cooling, the

heating, the fan is controlled directly by the heating 
equipment and starts a few minutes after the heating 
equipment turns on.
Slide the switch on the thermostat to the desired fan 
setting.
System Switch
The System switch settings control thermostat 
operation as follows:
Cool: The thermostat controls the cooling system. 
Off: Both heating and cooling are off. 
Heat: The thermostat controls the heating system.
Slide the System switch on the thermostat to the
