5. Adjusting the Temperature
5.1 Adjusting temperature and Setpoint Push
Adjusting temperature To adjust the desired temperature up or down, rotate dial clockwise or counter-clockwise on thermostat home screen
Setpoint Push The cooling setpoint cannot be set below the heating temperature setpoint. The thermostat will “push” the heating temperature setpoint lower if the cooling temperature setpoint is set below the current heating temperature setpoint. A 3 (three) degree separation is maintained between the heating and cooling temperature setpoints. The same is true for raising the heating setpoint above the cooling setpoint. The thermostat will “push” the cooling setpoint up to maintain the 3 degree separation
