Understanding Temperature Recovery Feature Your thermostat comes with a feature called Adaptive Intelligent Recovery™, which eliminates all guesswork when setting your schedule. How long does it take the furnace to warm your house in the morning before you get out of bed or how long does it take the air conditioner to cool your house in the afternoon before you return from work? No problem. The thermostat determines that for you. Simply set your program schedule to the time you want the house to be at your comfort temperature. The thermostat then turns on the heating or cooling at just the right time to have your home reach your scheduled temperature at your scheduled time. For example-you get out of bed at 6:00 AM and want the temper-ature to be 70°F. Set the Wake period for 6:00 AM and 70°F. The thermostat then turns on the heat before 6:00 AM to raise the temperature to 70°F by 6:00 AM. The thermostat alerts that the heating or cooling system is coming on before a scheduled time when "Recovery" shows on the screen.
