I have a new Carrier HVAC system with a fancy EDGE thermostat. When I turn the system OFF at the thermostat, and set the fan to AUTO, hours later I will find that the fan is running and it's setting on the thermostat is now ON. How can I permanently turn off the fan when the system is off?

1. Open the door. 2. Press and hold the buttons underneath the heat and cool setpoints simultaneously (the two bottom buttons on the right) until the screen displays the reset reminders and 01 in the lower right corner. 3. Press the up arrow button until 01 changes to 07 with OF (fan mode) next to it. 4. To turn the fan on, press the rightmost lower button then press the up arrow button until the screen displays ON. To turn the fan off, press the rightmost lower button then press the down arrow button until the screen displays OF (off). 5. Press the done button. 6. Close the door.
Thanks. I understand and this indeed will turn the fan OFF. However, it's too bad this has to be done. I like the fact that I can program the fan to run when the thermostat is not calling for heat or cooling when in those modes. But the thermostat should turn off the fan altogether when one turns the system to off; without having to go through this programming exercise each time. Someone at Carrier wasn't thinking when they designed this thermostat. During the summer, I routinely turn the HVAC system off when it's not needed. This should shut everything off and not require a programming change.
Using the hold feature should work for this.
