1) Install the base onto an electrical box.
2) Place the FAN switch as follows:
Place at Yes if you have a fan-forced
heater (to prevent premature burnout
of the motor).
Leave at No for better temperature
regulation if you do not have a
fan-forced heater.
3) Reinstall the faceplate on the base and
secure it in place with the screw.
4) Apply power to the thermostat at the
main electrical panel.
Installing the thermostat
Keep air vents at top and
bottom of thermostat clean and
unobstructed at all times.
FAN switch
If you change the FAN switch position after you
have already applied power to the thermostat,
disconnect power to the thermostat at the
electrical panel for 3 seconds. The thermostat
will use the new setting when you reapply power.
