• All cables and connections must comply with local electrical codes.
• This thermostat has tinned copper wires for line and load
connections. Special CO/ALR solderless connectors must be used if
these wires will be connected to aluminium conductors.
• Install the thermostat onto an electrical box.
• Install the thermostat about 1.5 m (5 feet) high, on an inside wall
facing the heater.
• Avoid locations where there are air drafts (such as the top of a
staircase or an air outlet), dead air spots (such as behind a door), or
direct sunlight.
• Do not install the thermostat on a wall that conceals chimney or stove
pipes.
• The thermostat wires are not polarized; either wire can be connected
to the load or to the power supply.

Loosen the screw underneath the thermostat and
separate the faceplate from the wallplate.
NOTE: The screw remains captive and cannot be
completely removed.
Mount the wallplate to the electrical box using the
provided screws. Insert the screws through the two
left or the two right mounting holes of the wallplate.
Reinstall the faceplate onto the wallplate and tighten
the screw underneath the thermostat.
NOTE: If there is a protective film or sticker on the
thermostat’s screen, peel it off.
Apply power to the heating system. Verify the
installation by checking that the heating system can
be turned On by raising the setpoint using the Up
button or turned Off by lowering the setpoint using the
Down button.
WARNING: Keep the thermostat's air vents clean and
free from obstructions.

when to start heating so the desired temperature be reached at the beginning of periods 1 and 3. When
Early Start is disabled (Off), heating does not start in advance, and therefore the desired temperature will
not yet be reached at the beginning of these periods.

daylight saving time on the second Sunday of March and to normal time on the first Sunday of November.

During a power outage, the thermostat display remains lit for the
first 2 minutes. During this time, the LP (low power) indicator
appears and all buttons are disabled. Then the screen turns blank.
The settings are stored in memory. When power returns, the ther-
mostat returns to the mode of operation preceding the power out-
age. If the power failure exceeded 5 hours, the clock and date must
be re-adjusted. Set Automatic Daylight Saving Time back to On if
