Fitting your new thermostat to the wall
First of all you'll need to remove the backplate that
is currently on your wall.
To do this:
Remove the screws currently holding it in place with a screw driver.
If there are any wires visible once you have removed the backplate
these will be covered up once you fit your new thermostat to the wall.
Your new thermostat can be fitted directly to the wall using the backplate.
Or if you’d prefer to use the decorative plate this will need to be fitted first.
Please be careful to avoid any cables and pipes that may be buried in the wall.
If you choose to fit the
backplate directly to the wall:
Use two screws to fit the backplate
to the wall.

Hot tip: For the most accurate temperature readings remember to
fit your thermostat approximately 1.5m from the floor and away
from radiators or direct sunlight.
If you choose to fit the decorative plate:
You'll need to use two screws
to fit it to the wall.
