Caution
• Switch electricity to the furnace and air conditioner OFF;
then proceed with the following steps.
• Remove cover from old thermostat. Most are snap-on types and simply pull off.
Some have locking screws on the side or front. These must be
loosened.
Note
the letters printed near the terminals.
•
Attach labels (enclosed) to each wire for identification.
•
Label the wires one at a time. You must have all the wires labeled before you
proceed. With all wires labeled, remove them from the old unit.
• Make sure the wires do not fall back inside the wall.
• Wind them around a pencil to keep them from
falling.
• Loosen all screws on the old thermostat and
remove it from the wall.
• Fill wall opening with non-combustible insulation
to prevent drafts.
Read instructions carefully before removing any wiring from existing thermostat.
Wires must be labeled before they are removed. THERE IS NO STANDARD
COLOR CODE. When removing wires from their terminals, ignore the color of the
wires since these may not follow the standard.
•
Separate front from back of unit. Press up on the
catch on bottom of thermostat and swing the body away
from the base, lift up to remove the body from the base.
•
Hold the base against the wall, with the wires coming
through the opening below the terminal block.
•
Position the base for best appearance. (If you chose to use the optional
wall plate, hold the wall plate against the wall, with the wires coming
through the opening. Then pull the wires through the opening in the base
unit. Position the base unit for best
appearance.)
•
Attach the base to the wall with the three
screws provided.
•
If you are mounting the base to sheet rock or
if you are using the old mounting holes, use the
plastic anchors provided. Drill a 3/16-in.(4.8mm)
hole for the insert at each screw location, then
mount the base.
