Clean the enamel finish of your unit with ordinary soap and water. For stubborn grease spots, use a household detergent. Lacquer thinner or other synthetic solvents may damage the finish.
Just set the temperature you want.
Set temperatures by using the indicators on the thermostat* control. After that, your comfort control center (thermostat) will maintain a constant indoor temperature, regardless of changes in outdoor temperatures. Read your thermostat manual for directions on setting the temperatures.
Save energy with an electronic programmable thermostat.
With an electronic programmable thermostat* energy savings is easy. Just program the thermostat for the temperatures you are most comfortable with and it will automatically change settings up to four times a day. Special weekend and vacation schedules are also easily programmed for comfort and savings. Read your thermostat manual for programming instructions. If you want the optimum balance between comfort and the cost of running your system, we recommend keeping the temperature settings at 68°F for heating and 78°F for cooling.
Save energy by letting the thermostat do its job. Once you set the thermostat, keep subsequent adjustments to a minimum. Adjust it only when a new program is needed.
