IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING:
• Always turn off power at main fuse or circuit breaker panel before
installing, removing, cleaning, or servicing thermostat.
• Read all the information in this manual before installing this
thermostat.
• This is a 24 VAC low-voltage thermostat. Do not install on voltages
higher than 30 VAC.
• All wiring must conform to local and national building and electrical
codes and ordinances.
• Do not short (jumper) across terminals on the gas valve or at the
system control to test installation. This will damage the thermostat
and void the warranty.
• Do not connect ground to any terminal in this unit.
Step 1: Replacing Existing Thermostat
1. Turn off power to heating and cooling system.
2. Remove cover from old thermostat to expose wires (Figure 1).
3. Disconnect wires one at a time from existing terminals. Use enclosed labels
to mark existing wires. Refer to cross references in Table 1 if existing wiring
does not directly match the labels.
4. Remove existing thermostat base from wall.

Step 3: Testing the Thermostat
WARNING: DO NOT SHORT (JUMPER) ACROSS TERMINALS OF GAS
VALVE OR SYSTEM CONTROL TO TEST OPERATION. THIS WILL
DAMAGE THE THERMOSTAT AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
CAUTION: DO NOT SWITCH SYSTEM TO COOL IF THE TEMPERATURE
IS BELOW 50°F (10°C). THIS CAN DAMAGE THE AIR
CONDITIONING SYSTEM AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
1. Place the HEAT-OFF-COOL switch into
the COOL position. The display will read COOL.
2. Press the button until the temperature setting
is at least 3 degrees below the room temperature.
The air conditioning system should turn on within
a few seconds. The snowflake icon will be displayed
( 1stStage; 2ndStage).
NOTE: ONCE THE THERMOSTAT TURNS OFF WHEN IN THE COOL MODE,
A BUILT IN 5-MINUTE DELAY PREVENTS THE SYSTEM FROM
TURNING ON AGAIN. THIS PROTECTS THE COMPRESSOR. NO
ADDITIONAL TIME DELAY RELAY IS REQUIRED. TO OVERRIDE THE
5-MINUTE DELAY FOR INSTALLATION, PRESS THE RESET BUTTON.
3. Put the HEAT-OFF-COOL switch into
the OFF position. The air conditioning system
should turn off. The display will read
SYSTEM OFF.
4. Put the HEAT-OFF-COOL switch into
the HEAT position. The display will read HEAT.
5. Press the button until the temperature
setting is at least 3 degrees above room
temperature. The heating system should
turn on. The fan may not turn on immediately,
depending on the fan delay built into the furnace.
The flame icon will be displayed
( 1stStage; 2ndStage).
6. Put the HEAT-OFF-COOL switch into
the OFF position. The heating system should
turn off. The fan may continue to run for a
short period of time. The display will read
SYSTEM OFF.
!

7. Put the -ON-AUTO switch into the ON
position. The blower fan should turn on.
The display will show a and ON.
8. Put the -ON-AUTO switch into the AUTO
position. The blower fan should turn off.
Step 4: Customizing the Thermostat
◆ Settings
System
Cool: The thermostat controls the cooling.
Off: The heating and cooling systems are off.
Heat: The thermostat controls the heat.
Fan
Auto: Equipment controls the fan.
On: The fan operates continuously.
Temperature
Heating: The default temperature for heating is 70°F (21°C). To
change the default setpoint, put the system switch in HEAT and
press the or button to adjust the temperature setting up or
down. The display will show SET. The display will return to the
current room temperature three seconds after the last input and
the new setpoint will be saved.
Cooling: The default temperature for cooling is 78°F (25°C). To
change the default setpoint, put the system switch in COOL and
press the or button to adjust the temperature setting up or
down. The display will show SET. The display will return to the
current room temperature three seconds after the last input and
the new setpoint will be saved.

◆ Temperature Differential 2
nd
Stage Delay
The temperature differential is factory set at 1.0°F (.5°C) for the 1st stage
differential and 2°F (1°C) for the 2nd stage. This means that whenever the
room temperature changes by one degree Fahrenheit from the temperature setting, the system will turn on. If the system turns on too often,
increase the temperature differential.
This thermostat is equipped with an adjustable 2nd stage time delay. The
delay is factory set at 20 minutes. The time delay setting prevents the 2nd
stage system from activating until the delay time has expired. If the 2nd
stage is turning on too often, increase the time delay.
The 2nd stage will turn on when the room temperature changes from
the desired temperature by the sum of the 1st and 2nd stage differential
settings. The 2nd stage also will turn on if the temperature has not
increased (or decreased in the event of cooling) for a period of
20 minutes.
◆ Changing Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C),
Temperature Differential, and
2ndStage Delay
1. The thermostat is preset to display the temperature in degrees
Fahrenheit (US models) or degrees Celsius (Canadian models). The
temperature display can be changed. Press and hold both the
and
button for three seconds. The display will read F or C.
Release buttons. Press the or button to switch the display.
2. After three seconds the display will switch to the 1st stage
differential settings. The display will read DIFFERENTIAL 1st.
3. After three seconds the display will switch to the 2nd stage differential setting. The display will read DIFFERENTIAL 2nd. The temperature differential is factory set at 2°F (1°C). Press the or button
to adjust the differential up or down.
4. After 3 seconds, the display will switch to the 2nd stage delay
setting. The second stage delay is factory set at 20 minutes. Press
the or button to adjust the time delay in 5 minute increments.
5. Wait three seconds or press and the display will return to the
original room temperature.
◆ Backlit Display
This thermostat is equipped with a backlight to make nighttime temperature adjustments quick and easy. Press the button to activate the
backlight. The backlight will turn off after about 5 seconds of inactivity.

◆ Reset
To reset the thermostat press the RESET button located just below the
lower left corner of the display.
Step 5: Troubleshooting
Symptom Remedy
System fan does not operate
properly.
Move fan option switch to either
gas or electric, to match system
(see Installation section).
Check F/C (Fahrenheit/Celsius)
setting. See Changing Fahrenheit
(F) to Celsius (C).
Thermostat does not display
proper room temperature.
Thermostat turns system on and
off too frequently.
Thermostat does not turn on system.
Check wiring (see Installation
section).
Increase temperature differential
(see Changing the Temperature
Differential section).
