What is “Setback” and how do I use it?
The setback feature can be used to save energy when you plan to leave your house for some period of time. It is similar to the HOLD feature and TEMPORARY OVERRIDE in that it holds a fixed temperature, but it also provides you the ability to maintain this fixed temperature anywhere between 1 hour and 30 days; and then automatically change back to the comfort temperature prior to your arrival back home.
TO START A SETBACK:
- Press the MENU button, then press the SCROLL button until “TEMPERATURE SETBACK” is shown, then press the OK button.
- The words “OVERRIDE LEFT” will appear at the top of the screen, along with two digits and the word “HRS”. It will default to 4 hours. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to set the duration for how long you would like to maintain a fixed set temperature (from 1 to 12 hours).
- If you would like to set the duration for longer than 12 hours, keep pressing the UP button. The display will change from “HRS” left to “DAYS” left, with an available duration of 1 to 30 days. Once you have selected your desired Setback duration, press the NEXT button to advance. The display will change from “OVERRIDELEFT” left to “OVERRIDE TEMPERATURE”.
- If you wish to change the default, use the UP and DOWN buttons to select your desired Set Temperature that will be used during the Setback duration .Once complete, press the NEXT button to accept the setting and return to the Normal Run screen.
TO CANCEL A SETBACK:
- Press the HOLD button two times, or move the mode switch to OFF,
- pause briefly,
- then switch back to the HEAT or COOL position.
*When in the Normal Run mode, the display should say either “HEAT MODE” or “COOL MODE”.
