Corrective Action
Replace fuse or reset breaker.
Turn switch to ON.
Replace door panel in proper position to engage
safety interlock or door switch.
Re-light pilot.
Excessive current or dead short in system. Have a qualifi ed service person check the system
before replacing thermostat.
Verify thermostat and system wires are securely attached.
Your furnace manufacturer or service person can describe how to test the heating system to
verify it is operating correctly. If the heating system is capable of operation and the no heat
condition persists, replace the thermostat.
Set System Switch to Heat and raise temp above room temp.
Many furnaces have safety devices that shut the system down when a lock-out condition occurs.
If the heat works intermittently contact the furnace manufacturer or local service person for
assistance.
Check each wire connection to the thermostat to verify it is neatly looped under the terminals.
No extra wire should stick out from under the terminals.
The anticipation setting is the only adjustment that effects the heating cycle rate. If an accept-
able cycle rate is not achieved using the anticipator contact a local service person for addi-
tional suggestions. The location of the thermostat, size of the Heat/Cool System and current
draw can infl uence the cycle rate.
The thermometer can be adjusted by using a standard slotted screwdriver. Turn the thermom-
eter pointer screw located inside the front cover to change the setting. For calibrating the
setting lever contact a local heating and cooling service person.
The thermometer on the thermostat is accurately calibrated at our factory but you can adjust it
by using a standard slotted screwdriver. Turn the thermometer pointer screw located inside
the front cover to change the setting.
