Using
emergency
heat
(heat
pump
systems
only)
Emergency
heat is useful
when
the automatic
auxiliary
heat system
can't
keep
up
with
demand.
(Systems
with
heat
pumps
use "auxiliary
heat"
when
it's too
cold
outside
for the heat pump
to heat the house
without
help. The display
indicator
for
this is aux heat
on.)
If the heat pump
compressor
that works
with auxiliary
heat fails, or if the heat pump
isn't working
at all, you can turn on the emergency
heat for that extra
help. (You'll
know
there's
a problem
if the house
can't
seem
to get warm
when
it's very
cold
outside.)
You want
to avoid
using
emergency
heat,
though,
because
it's the most
expensive
option.
And,
of course,
if you suspect
a problem
with
your
heat pump,
call your heating
and cooling
dealer
immediately.
Here's
how to set your thermostat
to use emergency
heat.
1. Press
the mode
button
repeatedly
until
you see Em heat
in the upper
left of the display.

2. To turn off emergency
heat,
press
the mode
button
again
o
to select
heat,
cool
or auto.
