Mode of Operation

The Amana^® 2246008 is a programmable, manual or auto changeover, 2-stage heat, 2-stage cool thermostat. It functions with air conditioning, heat pumps, gas, oil or electric heat systems. An outdoor sensor can be used to monitor the outdoor temperature.

The thermostat activates the heating appliance when the room temperature is below the set heat temperature (by the differential temperature). The Amana^® 2246008 will stop outputting when the call for heat has been satisfied. With heat pumps, the thermostat will not let the compressor come on for 4 minutes after it turns off. This protects your compressor.

When the room temperature is greater than the set cool temperature (by the differential temperature), the cooling device is activated.. The Amana^® 2246008 will stop outputting when the call for cooling is satisfied. The thermostat will not let the compressor come on for 4 minutes after it turns off. This protects your compressor.

The Amana^® 2246008 has five possible operating modes: OFF, Heat, Cool, Heat & Cool, and Program mode. In off mode, the thermostat will not turn on heating or cooling devices. The manual fan can be turned on in all operating modes using the fan button. In heat mode, the thermostat controls the heating system. In the cool mode, the thermostat controls the cooling system. In heat & cool mode, the thermostat controls both the heating and cooling systems. In program mode, the thermostat will automatically be controlled by the set program. Program mode can function with heat mode, cool mode, or heat & cool mode. The clock display alternates with the set temperature display for heat & cool mode.

The program schedule can be overridden by changing the set temperature (up or down button). This puts the Amana^® 2246008 thermostat into a 2-hour temporary hold. After 2 hours, it will automatically return to the program schedule.

The programmable fan feature can be used to recirculate air while in Program mode. It is activated during the program schedule set up.

The Amana^® 2246008 also has a button lockout feature. This enables the thermostat to be set to the proper mode and temperature and locked so it cannot be tampered with.
