Because there are so many thermostatsavailable, please refer to the owner’s manual supplied with yourthermostat for complete details on system operation.2-Stage OperationIf you own a two-stage heat pump system, you may notice your systemruns for longer periods of time. When appropriately sized, nearly 80%of the time it’s running, it is operating in low-stage, and your indoortemperature will remain more consistent with fewer drafts, betterhumidity control, enhanced comfort and enhanced energy efficiency.Heating and cooling Your HomeFor heating or cooling operation, make sure the System or Mode controlis set to the appropriate mode. Then, adjust the Temperature control toyour desired setting. Finally, use the Fan control to select Automatic(turns on and off as heating is needed) or On (runs continuously).Depending on your typical heating needs, your home comfort systemmay also include a supplementary heating source that will automaticallyturn on as needed. You may also select this heat source manually ifdesired.Operation Under Extreme ConditionsYour heat pump will run as long as necessary to maintain the indoortemperature selected on your thermostat. On extremely hot days, yourheat pump will run for longer periods at a time than on moderate days.Your system will also run for longer periods of time under the followingconditions:• Frequent opening of exterior doors• Operating laundry appliances• Taking hot showers• More than the usual number of people present in the home• More than the normal number of electric lights in use• Drapes or blinds are open on the sunny side of the homeIMPORTANT HEAT PUMP FACTSHeat pump systems have a few unique features and operations that youshould be aware of:• During the heating cycle, air from your registers may seem coolerthan you may expect. This is because your heat pump delivers aconstant flow of air at around 90° F (32º C) to about 105° F (41º C),compared to sudden blasts of hot air provided by a typical furnace.This air may feel cool if it is slightly below your body temperature,however it is warm enough to keep your home comfortable.• Ice or frost may form on the outdoor coil during winter heatingoperation. Your heat pump will automatically melt the ice using itsdefrost cycle. During defrost, you may see steam or fog rising fromthe outdoor unit, which is normal.• Heat pumps installed in areas expecting snow are elevated withsupport feet.ROUTINE MAINTENANCESimple, routine maintenance as described below will enhance your heatpump system’s ability to operate economically and dependably.
