RE CO means Auto Recovery. In my users manual it states:

Hunter's Auto Recovery feature meets the Energy Star guideline for energy efficiency by allowing the heating or cooling system to recover gradually from an energy-saving set-point temperature to a comfort set-point temperature.

Auto Recovery calculates how early to turn your system back on. so that the room temperature is already comfortable by the start of the comfort temperature program period. Auto Recovery works in both heat and cool modes.

*When the thermostat is in Auto Recovery mode, the display will alternate "RECO" with time and the program indicator will flash.

*Auto Recovery can be disabled by sliding the Recovery switch on the circuit board to disable. (this is located inside the thermostate)

*Auto Recovery can be cancelers manually if HOLD/RETURN is pressed during the recovery process.

*Auto Recovery will be canceled and change to temporary manual override mode if the set-point is adjusted during the recovery process.



Hope This Helped!!

Well, I consulted with Randell (my 12 year old grandson) - he assisted me in finding the solution in converting cooling to heating on the touch pad. Jameson (the 4 year old grandson) looked on, wanted to help Pa-Pa - but, we could only listen to his demands to help.

I still need an instruction manual - can you advise me how to obtain a replacement (or print one from the internet)?

Your response will be greatly appreciated.

SOURCE: Hunter Thermostat fan won't turn off

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Initially, I am inclined to suspect 3 possibilities:

• sticking relay contacts (if used) (a possibility, least likely);
• dusty thermal sensor/switch for the fan (likely);
• time delay. design feature, will power down the fan only after a certain period that the heater has turned off. This is to dissipate residual heat not only on the heater but on the immediate surroundings of the heater element (most likely).

SOURCE: thermostat takes too long to cool down 1 degree

Thermostats don't cool or heat. They are just the control device that tells the furnance or AC to operate and register the present temperature and tell the furnance or A/C to shut off, once the desired temperature has been reached.

Most programmable thermostats will take at least 1-2 weeks to "learn" how long to run the furnance or A/C in order to reach the desired temperatures you've programmed into it, for the time you want it be that temperature. Variables such as extremely hot days and higher humidity will also affect your cooling system.

Give it a little time to self-learn and it should adjust itself after a week or two of operation. You might want to take some time to review and familiarize yourself with the owners manual to see what Hunter advises for setting up and using the thermostat.

You may need to have your A/C checked to see if you're running low on freon, or need to have the coils cleaned, need to change the air filter, etc.

Hope this helps and best regards!
