How to Use a Digital Thermostat

A thermostat is a device that designates when your heater will go off. If you like your house to remain at approximately 70 degrees F, you would set your thermostat to that temperature. Whenever the temperature in the room drops below that mark, the thermostat tells the heater to begin heating the room. A digital thermostat displays the temperature in exact degrees, and allows you to control the heat in your room with ease.

Instructions

1

Decide what temperature you would like your home to be. If you are not sure, start out with 70 degrees F.

2

Press the up or down arrows, depending on what the digital thermostat is automatically set at. If you want your house to remain 70 degrees F, and it says 82 degrees F, press the down arrow 12 times. When you let go, you will see your set temperature briefly before the digital thermostat switches back to showing the current room temperature.

3

Press the up or down arrows to change the temperature if you are not happy with it. It will automatically switch back to showing you the set temperature, rather than the current room temperature.

4

Select the day or night button. If your digital thermostat has this feature, you can set one temperature for the day, and a different one for the night. Press the button that looks like a sun, then press the up or down arrows to select your daytime temperature. Then, press the button that looks like a moon and move your up and down arrows to select your nighttime temperature.
