Room Thermostat
Most room thermostats are equipped with user adjustable, or selectable, levels of heat
anticipation. This feature helps to reduce the amount of room air temperature overshoot
that occurs after a heating cycle.
To adjust the heat anticipator, measure the electrical current output of the oil burner
primary safety control to the room thermostat. (If measurement is not possible, the value
of current output may be marked on the cover of the control). Set the thermostat heat
anticipator to match the electrical current output of the oil primary safety control.
Instructions to Our Customer / End User
! WARNING: If the burner does not operate properly after depressing the oil
primary reset button three (3) times, turn off the electrical power to the furnace

equipped. Demonstrate how to remove, clean, and replace the air filter(s).
3) Demonstrate how to set and adjust the room air temperature using the room
thermostat.
4) Demonstrate how to operate (turn on and off), the heating system and, if properly
equipped, the cooling system and the circulating air blower.
