Is there a way to turn off the "Progressive Recovery", and have the heating start at a programmed set time.

While the idea is great, the furnace starting up wakes us, and we do not want it to turn on before our alarms in the morning. We are fine with it not getting up to temperature right away. We would prefer to set the time it comes on and off.

Thank you for your inquiry about the Aprilaire thermostat model 8463.

The model 8463 "progressive recovery" function can be disabled by the following steps:
1. Press "mode" until the unit is "off".
2. Press and hold the "up arrow" and the "mode" buttons together for three seconds, the screen will change.
3. Press the "mode" button until the menu item "15", progressive recovery, appears.
4. Press the "down arrow" button to change from "1" to "0".
5. Press the "mode" button until the word "done" appears, and press "mode" one more time.

This will set the thermostat to start the heating/cooling at the time specified in your schedule.

Thank you for the opportunity to help in this matter.
