THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING NUHEAT HOME!
You have chosen the most advanced thermostat to control your
Nuheat electric floor heating system. This manual will cover each of
the features of the Nuheat HOME thermostat.
INTRODUCTION

5HOME OPERATING MANUAL
The Nuheat HOME thermostat features a series
of diagnostic tests to confirm the thermostat is
installed and functioning properly.
The System Tests option is available the first
time the thermostat is connected to power or
after a factory reset is initiated.
The Nuheat HOME thermostat features a Setup Wizard to guide you through
the basic setup process.
The Setup Wizard is available the first time the thermostat is connected to power
or after a factory reset is initiated. Refer to section 4 on page 15.
The Nuheat HOME thermostat has a built-in GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter).
The GFCI protects against risks of electrocution caused by a current leakage. If the current
leakage exceeds 5 mA, the GFCI will automatically be triggered, thus cutting power to the
floor heating system. To indicate the fault, a message will appear on the screen informing
you of the fault. To reset the GFCI, press the button on the right side of the thermostat.
If problem persists, contact Nuheat at 1.800.778.WARM(9276).
