Remove Old Thermostat
CAUTION: Do not remove any wiring from existing thermostat before reading the instructions carefully. WIRES MUST BE LABELED PRIOR TO REMOVAL.
■IMPORTANT! Turn off the power to the furnace at the main power panel or at the furnace.
■Remove existing thermostat cover. See Figure 1. Some thermostats will have screws or other lock- ing devices that must first be removed. Once wall mounting plate is exposed, look for wires.
If wires are not visible, they may be connected to the back of the wallplate. Again, look for screws, tabs, etc. Some models have doors that open to expose wires and mounting screws. (See Figure 1).

■Each wire coming from the wall to the existing thermostat is connected to a terminal point on that thermostat. Each of these terminal points is usually marked with a code letter as shown in Table A on the next page.
■Note that this thermostat has multiple function terminals that allow
■The number of wires in your system can be as few as two (for heat only systems), as many as eight, or any number in between. If you follow the label- ing procedures correctly, you do not have to be concerned about how many wires there are.

■Remove existing wallplate. To make sure wires do not fall back into wall opening, you may want to tape them to the wall.
■If hole in wall is larger than necessary for wires, seal this hole with insulating material so that no hot or cold air can enter the back of the thermo- stat from the wall. This air could cause a false thermostat reading.
