STEP 4. WIRE WALLPLATE TERMINALS
IMPORTANT
All wiring must comply with local codes and ordinances. If
unsure about household wiring procedures, call your local heat-
ing/air-conditioning contractor.
Refer to the labels you placed on the wires when you removed the old
thermostat (see illustration).
❑Match the letter of your old thermostat wire with the corresponding
terminal letter on your new thermostat. Refer to Table 2.
❑Remove the factory-installed jumper connecting terminals R and RC if
wires are connected to both of those terminals.
❑For wiring diagrams, if needed, see pp 22-23.
❑Loosen the terminal screws. Slip each wire beneath its matching
terminal. Wraparound and straight connections are both acceptable,
(see illustration). Tighten the terminals.
❑Plug the hole in the wall with insulation to help prevent drafts from adversely affecting thermostat operation.
