Do not short (jumper) across terminals on the gas valve or at the system control to test installation. This will damage the thermostat and void the warranty. ® MODEL 8355 7 Day Programmable 2 Heat / 2 Cool Heat Pump User’s Manual...
Features • Four pre-programmed setpoints for each day of the week. • Fast and easy programming for setting all days of the week simultaneously. • Energy efficient recovery. • Residual cooling for added air-conditioning efficiency. • Two “AA” ENERGIZER brand batteries retain program memory, even during power outages.

Installing the Model 8355 Thermostat NOTE: For new installations, mount thermostat on inside wall, 4-5 feet above the floor. Do not install behind a door, in a corner, near air vents, in direct sunlight, or near any heat or steam generating fixtures. Installation at these places will affect thermostat operation.
MOUNTING HOLES MORN DAY EVE NITE EER CHANGE CHANGE 7. Drill the marked holes using a 3/16" drill bit. NOTE: Enclosed plastic anchors do not require a drilled hole for drywall. 8. Tap plastic anchors into the holes. 9. Align base with plastic anchors and feed wires through opening. See Fig 4.
Programming Guide Set Time of Day, Day of Week, Temperature Differential, Residual Cooling 1. Press SET & PROG/MAN. Release simultaneously. PROG SET PROG/MAN Press Time of Day. 2. Press SET P 4. Press SET P NOTE: The Temperature Differential is Factory preset at 1°. This means that whenever the room temperature changes by one full degree from the temperature setting, the system will turn on.
Changing Fahrenheit (F) to Celsius (C) Press and Hold SET SET P Release both simultaneously. Energy Efficient Recovery The energy efficient recovery feature looks ahead up to 2 hours prior to the end of the setback (or set-up) period to begin monitoring performance and calculating when to turn on your system.

Setting Daily Programming 1. Place COOL-OFF-HEAT-EM in COOL position. PROG SET PROG/MAN 2. Press SET button. The display will show a number from 1 to 7. This number represents the day of the week to be programmed. If programming individual days, press either button to adjust the day of the week to program (1=Mon., 2=Tues., etc.).
3. Press PROG/MAN button until indicator is in PROG position. PROG SET PROG/MAN COOL-OFF-HEAT-EM NOTE: While in the Cool or Heat mode, once the thermostat turns the system off, a built-in delay keeps the compressor from turning on for about 5 minutes. This protects the compressor.
To Test Thermostat WARNING: DO NOT SHORT (JUMPER) ACROSS TERMINALS OF GAS VALVE OR SYSTEM CONTROL TO TEST OPERATION. THIS WILL DAMAGE THE THERMOSTAT AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY. CAUTION: Do not switch system to cool if the temperature is below 50°F (10°C).
Troubleshooting SYMPTOM Thermostat does not turn on system. Thermostat turns on and off too frequently. Display is blank, flashing or constant "LO BAT." Time shown on display is not the current time of day. Thermostat does not follow program. Thermostat does not advance day of week.
