Don't think it works quite as you described.  Here's how mine works.

Cooling:
A.  You want cooling and want fan working only when a/c compressor is on.
Actions: Set fan to AU then select Cool.
B.  You want cooling and want fan always on constantly regardless of whether a/c compressor is on.
Actions:  Set fan to Hi or Lo, wait for fan to come on, then select Cool.

Furnace:
A.  You want heat but use only the furnace fan.
Actions: Set fan to AU then select Heat.
B.  You want heat and want the a/c fan on constantly regardless of whether furnace is on.
Actions: Set fan to Hi or Lo, wait for fan to come on, then select Heat.

A couple of additional notes:
  1. When on heat, there is no way to have the a/c fan cycle on only when the furnace comes on.
  2. You'll notice I've suggested waiting for the fan to come on after selecting Hi or Lo.  This is not absolutely necessary.  If you immediately select Heat, likely not a problem.  If you immediately select Cool, however, without waiting for the fan to spin up, you could have a problem especially if you're using a 20 amp input or a smallish generator. 
This may be TMI but hope it helps.

Greetings again....My second post.   We are new owners of a brand new 179....we are on our first outing and are having a problem.   First night out the temps dropped to about 28 degrees and we decided  to test the furnace.  The thermostat gives 3 selection...fan, cool, furnace.   I selected furnace and set a temperature and all worked well.  Night 2 was different.  Selected furnace and both the air conditioner and furnace came on.   Tried everything I could think of and finally killed the air by tripping the breaker, we were getting cold.  We have a small space heater, but I want to test all ewquipment to make sure it works.  This AM I turned the air breaker back on and same thing happened.  What in the ^%#%*& did I do wrong?????
