Getting Familiar with the AprilaireThermostat

(refer to Figure 1)

The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) normally shows: the room temperature, the current mode of operation, if
the Day or Night temperature setting is being used, and if the system fan is set for continuous operation.

Temperature Display

Room temperature can be displayed in either degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius. If the displayed
temperature seems abnormally high or low (example: 70˚F is equal to 21˚C), press the DECREASE
button and INCREASE button simultaneously to switch between ˚F and ˚C.
