Save money by setting program schedules

It’s easy to program your system for maximum energy savings. You can program four time periods each day, with different settings for weekdays and weekends.American Standard-ACONT600AF11MA-Programmable-Thermostat-fig.8

  • Set to the time you awaken and the temperature you want during the morning, until you leave for the day.
  • Set to the time you leave home and the temperature you want while you are away (usually an energy-saving level).
  • Set to the time you return home and the temperature you want during the evening, until bedtime.
  • Set to the time you go to bed and the temperature you want overnight (usually an energy-saving level).

EnergyStar® settings for maximum cost savings

This Comfort Control is pre-set to use EnergyStar® program settings. We recommend these settings since they can reduce your heating/cooling expenses by as much as 33%. (See next page to adjust times and temperatures of each time period.)

Program schedules

To adjust program schedules

  2. Press American Standard-ACONT600AF11MA-Programmable-Thermostat-fig.5 to set your weekday Wake time (Mon–Fri), then press NEXT.
  3. Press American Standard-ACONT600AF11MA-Programmable-Thermostat-fig.5to set the temperature for this time period, then press NEXT.

Program schedule override (temporary)

American Standard-ACONT600AF11MA-Programmable-Thermostat-fig.11

Press to cancel temporary setting and resume program schedule.
Note: Make sure the Comfort Control is set to the system you want to control (heat, cool, or auto).

Press American Standard-ACONT600AF11MA-Programmable-Thermostat-fig.5to immediately adjust the temperature. This will temporarily override the temperature setting for the current time period.
The new temperature will be maintained only until the next programmed time period begins. For example, if you want to turn up the heat early in the morning, it will automatically be lowered later, when you leave for the day.
To cancel the temporary setting at any time, press RUN SCHEDULE.

Auto Changeover (heat/cool)

American Standard-ACONT600AF11MA-Programmable-Thermostat-fig.13

Auto Changeover is a feature used in climates where both air conditioning and heating are used on the same day. When the system is set to Auto, the Comfort Control automatically selects heating or cooling depending on the indoor temperature.
Heat and cool settings must be at least 3 degrees apart. The Comfort Control will automatically adjust settings to maintain this
3-degree separation (called “deadband”).
The 3-degree separation between heating and cooling set temperatures is fixed, and cannot be changed.

Built-in compressor protection

American Standard-ACONT600AF11MA-Programmable-Thermostat-fig.14

This feature helps prevent damage to the compressor in your air conditioning or heat pump system.
Damage can occur if the compressor is restarted too soon after shutdown. This feature forces the compressor to wait for a few minutes before restarting.
During the wait time, the display will flash the message Cool On (or Heat On if you have a heat pump). When the safe wait time has elapsed, the message stops flashing and the compressor turns on.

Adaptive Intelligent Recovery (AIR)

Adaptive Intelligent Recovery eliminates guesswork when setting your schedule.
It allows Comfort Control to “learn” how long your furnace and air conditioner take to reach the temperature you want.
Just set your program schedule to the time you want the house to reach your desired temperature. The Comfort Control then turns on the heating or cooling at just the right time to reach your scheduled temperature at your scheduled time.
For example: Set the Wake time to 6 am and the temperature to 70°. The heat will come on before 6 am, so the temperature is 70° by the time you wake at 6.

Note: When Adaptive Intelligent Recovery is in effect, the thermostat will display “In Recovery”.

Battery Replacement

American Standard-ACONT600AF11MA-Programmable-Thermostat-fig.15

Batteries are optional (to provide backup power) if your Comfort Control was wired to run on AC power when installed.
Install fresh batteries immediately when the REPLACE BATTERY warning begins flashing. The warning flashes about two months before the batteries are depleted.
Even if the warning does not appear, you should replace batteries once a year, or before leaving home for more than a month.
If batteries are inserted within two minutes, the time and day will not have to be reset. All other settings are permanently stored in memory and do not require battery power.

Any local transportation, related service labor, and diagnosis calls are not included.
