Screwdrivers, wire stripper / cutter, and possibly a drill with assorted bits (new installations only).
1. Turn OFF the electricity to all heating and cooling components. Do not turn the electricity back on
until all work is completed.
2. Remove the front portion of your old thermostat to expose the wiring connections.
3. Write down the letters printed near each wire terminal that is used, and also the color of each wire
that is connected to it. Self-adhesive wire labels are also enclosed.
4. Carefully remove the wires one at a time, and bend them in a manner so that they do not fall back
inside the wall. Do not allow bare wire ends to touch each other.
5. Loosen the mounting screws for the old thermostat and carefully remove it from the wall.
On replacement installations, mount the new thermostat in place of the old one unless the conditions listed below
suggest otherwise. On new installations, please follow these general guidelines:
1. Mount the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above the floor.
2. Do not locate the thermostat where air circulation is poor such as in a corner, alcove, or behind a door that is normally
left open.
3. Do not locate the thermostat where unusual heating or cooling conditions may be present, such as: direct sunlight,
above a lamp, television, or radiator, or on a wall next to an exterior door or window.
4. Do not locate in a damp environment, as this can lead to corrosion that may shorten thermostat life.
5. If painting or construction work is still ongoing, cover the thermostat completely or wait until this work is complete
before installation.
1. Strip wire insulation leaving only 3/8 in. (9.5mm) bare wire ends, and clean off any corrosion present.
2. Fill the wall opening with non-combustible insulation to prevent drafts from affecting the thermostat’s normal
operation.
3. Route the wires through the opening in the new thermostat base plate, and hold the base against the wall. Try to line
up the screw holes from the prior thermostat, and install the mounting screws.
4. If the previous holes cannot be used, hold the thermostat base against the wall so that it appears straight and level
(position the base for best appearance) and mark for the new screw holes. Attach the base to the wall using the
screws provided (use the supplied plastic anchors if needed when mounting to a soft material such as drywall).
