Welcome . . . to the family of

American Standard comfort

products. We sincerely believe

that your new American Standard

Central Air Conditioning System

will provide you with many years

of reliable service.

With Two Stage Heating

operation, you will realize

operating economics with an

energy efficient system, while

enjoying gentle, filtered,

conditioned air flowing from your

new American Standard system.

This booklet has been prepared

with the owner in mind. We hope it

will help you understand the

system, and assist you in obtaining

its most efficient operation, and

serve as a guide should you have

questions or problems concerning

the system.

How To Operate Your Heating/Cooling Manual Thermostat

A. Temperature Selector

B. Temperature Indicator

C. System Switch

D. Fan Switch

Setting the Temperature (A)

The lever on top of the

thermostat is for selecting the

desired indoor temperature for

heating and/or cooling.

For cooling, set the cooling

temperature selector at the

desired indoor temperature and

the system switch to COOL.

For heating, set the heating

temperature selector at the desired

indoor temperature and the

system switch to HEAT.

This thermostat is designed to

optimize your Two Stage Heat

Furnace for maximum efficiency

and comfort. The thermostat

signals the furnace system

control for heating requirements

in low or high heat.

Setting the Fan Switch

continue to run when there is no

heating or cooling required. This

provides constant air filtering and

more even air distribution to all

conditioned spaces. In some

cases, particularly with multi-level

homes, comfort may be enhanced

by continuous circulation of indoor

air.

To turn the system OFF, position

the switches as follows:

SYSTEM — OFF; FAN — AUTO:

CAUTION: In cooling mode, rapid

changing of the thermostat

temperature setting in such a

manner that turns the compressor

OFF and ON rapidly may cause

the compressor motor protector

to open and turn OFF the

compressor for a short time.

The protector is an automatic reset

type and the compressor

will restart after a few minutes.

“Jiggling” the thermostat is not

recommended. Anytime the

system is turned OFF, allow

approximately 5 to 10 minutes for

system pressures to equalize

before restarting.

The Fan Switch may be set at:

AUTO or ON.

When the Fan Switch is set to

AUTO, the indoor fan will cycle

“on” with the call for heating or

cooling and “off” when the

thermostat is satisfied. This “on”

and “off” cycle is controlled by

the thermostat as it operates the

system to maintain the selected

indoor temperature. This mode of

operation will provide the lowest

operating cost and better humidity

control in cooling operation.

When the “FAN” switch is in the

“ON” position the fan will run

continuously. With the “FAN” in

the “ON” position your cooling

and heating system will still

operate as the conditioned space

temperature requires, but the

indoor fan will not cycle off. It will

may seem cool but it is also

moisture-laden. This increases

the work your system must do

the next day.

6. Don’t block supply and

return registers with furniture

or drapes. — Don’t let shrubs,

vines, or fences block air

intake and/or discharge on

condenser unit outside. Don’t

put a lamp, TV or radio too

near your thermostat.

7. Don’t try to operate unit if

there is any indication of a

malfunction. — Turn the

system “OFF” at the

thermostat immediately, and

call your serviceman.

Indications of malfunction

include: no cooling, short

cycling of compressor or

motors, and unusual system

noises.

1. Do use filters — Clean or

replace filters monthly. (Note:

turn off all electrical power to

unit and turn thermostat to OFF

position before you start).

Follow a Few Basic Rules:

1. Don’t be a “thermostat

jiggler.” — Set the thermostat

at the desired temperature and

forget it. Frequent changing

upsets temperature and

humidity control and may

increase operating cost.

2. Don’t set the thermostat too

low for cooling or too high for

heating. — The greater the

difference between the

outdoor and indoor

temperature — the greater the

operating cost.

3. Don’t turn the system off just

because you’ll be away for a

day or two. — It takes quite a

while to restore comfort — but

costs relatively little to maintain.

4. Don’t be concerned if your

air conditioning unit operates

after sundown. — Heat stored

in the roof and walls is still

there. On exceptionally hot

days, expect your unit to work

more.

5. Don’t open windows after

dark. — The summer night air

KEEP FILTERS CLEAN —

This is an important

responsibility. A dirty, clogged

filter reduces the efficiency of

your system, causes erratic

performance of controls —

can result in damage to the

motor, heating element, or to

the compressor. On new

homes check filters every

week for four weeks to begin

with.

2. Do keep windows and doors

closed — (and pull drapes or

shades on windows exposed

to the sun). The less heat and

moisture there is to remove —

the lower your operating cost

for cooling; in addition,

airborne dust and pollen are

minimized.

3. Do “heat and moisture” work

— in the morning as much as

possible. Then your cooling

system can easily offset the

effects of washing, drying,

mopping, etc. before afternoon

heat arrives.

4. Do turn on bathroom exhaust

fan — (or open window slightly)

during showers. Use plastic

shower curtains instead of

moisture-holding fabric

curtains.

5. Do keep attic ventilators

open. — Attic space can

become an oven unless there

is good ventilation.

Consider this:

During cooling season, when

possible, avoid adding heat such

as clothes dryer and kitchen

range during peak temperature

periods in the afternoon.

In winter, excessive use of

fireplaces and open chimney

dampers will draw warm air out of

the conditioned space and add to

operating cost of the system.

A regular program of service/

maintenance can extend the life

of your heating and cooling

system and ensure maximum

efficiency. See your American

Standard service dealer for

maintenance details.
