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.

If you must move the switch to the “ELECTRIC” position (to the left), use a small screwdriver or pencil.
ATTACH THERMOSTAT BASE TO WALL
1. | Remove the packing material from the thermostat. Gently |
| pull the cover straight off the base. Forcing or prying on the |
| thermostat will cause damage to the unit. If necessary, move |
| the electric heat switch (see ELECTRIC HEAT SYSTEMS, |
| above). |
2. | Connect wires beneath terminal screws on base using |
| appropriate wiring schematic (see figs. 3 through 10). |
3. | Place base over hole in wall and mark mounting hole |
| locations on wall using base as a template. |
4. | Move base out of the way. Drill mounting holes. |
5. | Fasten base loosely to wall, as shown in fig. 2, using two |
| mounting screws. Place a level against bottom of base, |
| adjust until level, and then tighten screws. (Leveling is for |
| appearance only and will not affect thermostat operation.) If |
| you are using existing mounting holes, or if holes drilled are |
| too large and do not allow you to tighten base snugly, use |
| plastic screw anchors to secure subbase. |
6. | Push excess wire into wall and plug hole with a |
| material (such as fiberglass insulation) to prevent drafts from |

BATTERY LOCATION
This thermostat requires 3 “AA” alkaline batteries to operate. Batteries are installed in the thermostat at the factory with a battery tag to prevent power drainage. You must remove the battery tag to engage the batteries and provide power to the thermostat.
If the word BATTERY is displayed, the batteries are low and should be replaced with fresh “AA” Energizer® alkaline batteries. To replace batteries, install the batteries along the top of the
