the fuse or switching the appropriate circuit breaker to the OFF position before
removing the existing thermostat.
1. Turnoffpowertotheheatingsystembyremovingthefuseorswitchingtheappropriatecircuit
breakeroff.
2. Removecoverofoldthermostat.Thisshouldexposethewires.
3. Labeltheexistingwireswiththeenclosedwirelabelsbeforeremovingwires.
4. Afterlabelingwires,removewiresfromwireterminals.
5. Removeexistingthermostatbasefromwall.
6. Refertothefollowingsectionforinstructionsonhowtoinstallthisthermostat.

4. Putthermostatbaseagainstthewallwhereyouplantomountit(Besurewireswillfeedthrough
thewireopeninginthebaseofthethermostat).
5. Marktheplacementofthemountingholes.
6. Setthermostatbaseandcoverawayfromworkingarea.
7. Usinga3/16”drillbit,drillholesintheplacesyouhavemarkedformounting.
8. Useahammertotapsuppliedanchorsintomountingholes.
9. Alignthermostatbasewithmountingholesandfeedthecontrolwiresthroughwireopening.
10. Usesuppliedscrewstomountthermostatbasetowall.
CAUTION! : Besureexposedportionofwiresdoesnottouchotherwires.
11. Tightenscrewsonterminalblock.Gentlytugwiretobesureofproperconnection.Doublecheck
thateachwireisconnectedtotheproperterminal.
