INSTALLATION

REMOVE OLD THERMOSTAT

1. Shutoffelectricityatthemainfuseboxuntilinstallationis

complete.Ensurethatelectricalpowerisdisconnected.

2. Removethefrontcoveroftheoldthermostat.With wires

still attached, remove wallplate fromthe wall. Ifthe old

thermostathasawallmountingplate,removethethermostat

andthewallmountingplateasanassembly.

3. Identify each wire attached to the old thermostat using

the labels enclosed with the new thermostat.

4. Disconnectthewiresfromoldthermostatoneatatime.DO

NOT LET WIRES FALL BACK INTO THE WALL.

5. Installnewthermostatusingthefollowingprocedures.
