How to Program a Braeburn Thermostat

The human body is very sensitive to the gain and loss of heat making comfort elusive, especially during summer and winter months. To make our homes a comfortable space to live in, we install cooling and heating systems, ventilation, insulation, and other features to protect us from drastic changes in temperature. HVAC systems combine all of these features into a single, all-in-one system, and controlled by one of its most essential components, which is the thermostat – a device that monitors your indoor temperature to provide greater control over the temperature setting.

With a thermostat installed, you won’t need to worry about being too hot or being too cold. It's an important part of a lot of homes providing comfort to each member of a household.

The Installation

The Braeburn thermostat should only be installed by professional service technicians. This is to ensure that your device will work effectively and efficiently while minimizing the risk of accidents and damages to your property. Improper installation can cause electric shocks, blowing a circuit breaker and damage to your cooling and heating systems as well as the thermostat unit itself.

The Set Up

After your thermostat have been installed by professionals, you will now need to program it to your desired settings.

Step 1 - In a normal operating mode, press the DAY/TIME button on the keypad to set the day and time of your thermostat.

• Press the up and down arrows to adjust the hour then press DAY/TIME when done.
• Press the up and down arrows to adjust the minute then press DAY/TIME when done.
• Press the up and down arrows to adjust the day of the week.
• Press RETURN to exit.

Step 2 - Press the FAN button repeatedly to scroll through the different modes.

• In the AUTO mode, the fan will only run when the heating or cooling units are running.
• In the ON mode, the system fan stays on continually.
• In the CIRC mode, the fan will run intermittently to help circulate air and provide more even temperatures when the heating or cooling system is not active.
• In the PROG mode, the fan turns on depending on how it was programmed.

Step 3 - Press and hold the RETURN button for approximately 3 seconds to access the User Options menu.

• Press the up and down arrow buttons to change the setting for the displayed User Option.
• The first stage differential determines how much the room temperature must change from the set temperature before heating or cooling must be initiated.
• Second and third stage differentials are only available on the 2220 models and can be set the same way.
• Press RETURN to exit when you have made the necessary changes.

Changing the Batteries of the Thermostat

Your Braeburn thermostat will come pre-equipped with two AA type alkaline batteries. When the batteries become low, a low battery indicator will appear in the display. To change the batteries, you should:

• Remove the thermostat outer case by gently pulling it from the base.
• Remove the old batteries and replace with the new ones. Make sure that they are positioned properly.
• Gently push the thermostat's outer case back onto the base.

Cleaning the Thermostat

Spraying any liquid on the thermostat is not advised. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the outer body of the device. Never use any abrasive cleansers to clean your thermostat.
