CAUTION:
This thermostat is protected against normal static electric discharges; however touching a grounded metal object before touching your thermostat will minimize the risk of damaging the unit in extremely dry weather.
4. SELECTING A LOCATION
On replacement installations, mount the new thermostat in place of the old one unless the conditions listed below suggest otherwise. On new installations, follow the guidelines listed below.
1.Locate the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above the floor, and in a room that is used often.
2.Do not locate where air circulation is poor, such as in a corner or an alcove, or behind an open door.
3.Do not install it where there are unusual heating conditions, such as: in direct sunlight; near a lamp, television, radiator, register, or fireplace; near hot water pipes in a wall; near a stove on the other side of a wall.
4.Do not locate in unusual cooling conditions, such as: on a wall separating an unheated room; or in a draft from a stairwell, door, or window.
5.Do not locate in a damp area. This can lead to corrosion that may shorten thermostat life.
6.If painting or construction work has yet to be completed, cover the unit completely or do not install it.
WARNING:
•Read instructions carefully before removing any wires from your existing thermostat.
•All wiring must conform to the local codes and ordinances that are in your particular location.
