This thermostat is easy to operate. Fig. 8
shows how the heating/cooling system
and fan operate when the switches are in
various positions. Use the system switch
to select either heating or cooling, or to
turn the heating/cooling system off. Use
the fan switch to control fan operation.
When the fan switch is in the AUTO
position, the fan will cycle with the heating
or cooling system (the fan will not run if the
system switch is in the OFF position and
the fan switch is in the AUTO position).
When the fan switch is in the ON position,
the fan will run continuously, regardless
of system switch position (even if the
system switch is set to OFF, the fan will
run if the fan switch is in the ON position).
