If you want to change the preprogrammed times and temperatures, follow these steps.

Determine the time periods and temperatures for your program. You must program four periods for each day. However, you may use the same heating and cooling temperatures for consecutive time periods. You can choose start times, heating temperatures, and cooling temperatures independently (for example, you may select 5:00 AM and 70° as the weekday 1st period heating start time and temperature, and also choose 7:00 AM and 76° as the weekday 1st period cooling start time and temperature).

Use the table to plan your program time periods and the temperatures you want during each period. Fill in the complete table to have a record of your programs.
