One wire to R and one wire to W. Then hold the fan button and the up arrow til a service screen appears, setting 1 should be adjusted to 1. Finally gave up searching online for what should have already been in the manual, and called only to sit on hold for ten minutes then asked too many questions for such a simple answer.
