I have a Totaline Model P474-1035 Programmable Thermostat.

This is the link to the owner's manual:

page 6 describes how to operate the thermostat MANUALLY:

- the Program Switch is at the "OFF" position.
- the Fan Switch is at the "AUTO" position.
- to set the desired room temperature, use the UP & DOWN buttons.
- to turn the furnace on, move the Mode Switch to "Heat"
- to turn the A/C on, move the Mode Switch to "Cool".

page 17 describes how to adjust the:

- "deadband". What is "deadband"? How many degrees should I set it to?
- cycles per hour. There are 7 values: 2 to 6 degrees; 'd'; and 'dl'. What value should it set it to?
