Do not locate where air circulation is poor, such as: in a corner or an alcove; or behind an open door.

Do not install the unit until all construction work and painting has been completed.

CAUTION:

Read instructions carefully before removing any wiring from existing thermostat.

Wires must be labeled before they are removed.

7. Press up on the thumb latch at the bottom of thermostat and separate the body from its base.

8.Hold the base against the wall. Route the wires through the hole below the terminal block. Position the base for best appearance (to hide any marks from an old thermostat). Attach the base to the wall with the two screws provided.

NOTE:

If you are mounting the base to a soft material like plasterboard or if you are using the old mounting holes,

the screws may not hold. Drill a 3/16-in. (4.8mm) hole at each screw location, and insert the plastic anchors provided. Then mount the base as described below.
