1. Warning: To avoid risk of fire and electrical shock, cut off the power
at the circuit breaker or fuse before wiring
2. Remove existing switch: Remove existing wall panel and switch
mounting screws. Carefully pull switch from wall box, identify and
remove the wires attached to the switch, then remove the switch.
Do not remove the wires from the wall at this time. (for new
installations where an existing switch does not exist, skip this step.)
Note: If the wiring layout in the wall box does not resemble any of these
configurations, consult an electrician.
