MOUNTING LOCATION:
On replacement installations, mount the new thermostat in place of the old one unless the conditions listed below suggest otherwise. On new installations, please follow these general guidelines:
1.Mount the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above the floor.
2.Do not locate the thermostat where air circulation is poor such as in a corner, alcove, or behind a door that is normally left open.
3.Do not locate the thermostat where unusual heating or cooling conditions may be present, such as: direct sunlight, above a lamp, television, or radiator, or on a wall next to an exterior door or window.
4.Do not locate in a damp environment, as this can lead to corrosion that may shorten thermostat life.
5.If painting or construction work is still ongoing, cover the thermostat completely or wait until this work is complete before installation.
WARNING:
All wiring must conform to the local codes and ordinances that are in your particular location.
REMOVE OLD THERMOSTAT:
1.Turn OFF the electricity to all heating and cooling components. Do not turn the electricity back on until all work is completed.
2. Remove the front portion of your old thermostat to expose the wiring connections.
3. Write down the letters printed near each wire terminal that is used, and also the color of each wire that is connected to it.
4.Carefully remove the wires one at a time, and bend them in a manner so that they do not fall back inside the wall. Do not allow bare wire ends to touch each other.
5.Loosen the mounting screws for the old thermostat and carefully remove it from the wall.
