��� ���� ���� ���� ���� ����� ���� ���� NOTE: If the appliance is already operating in the ON or THERMOSTATIC modes, engaging the “LOCK-OUT” will not cancel the operating mode. Engaging the “LOCK-OUT” prevents only the manual operation of the transmitter. If in the auto modes, the THERMOSTATIC operation will continue to operate normally.

Chateau™ Operational Notes: The Thermostatic feature on the transmitter operates the appliance whenever the ROOM TEMPERATURE varies a certain number of degrees from the SET TEMPERATURE. This variation is called the “SWING” or TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL. The normal operating cycle of an appliance may be 2-4 times per hour depending on how well the room or home is insulated from the cold or drafts.
