Step 2: Removing Existing Thermostat

WARNING: To avoid electrical shock and to prevent damage to the furnace, air conditioner, and thermostat disconnect the power supply at the circuit breaker or heater and air conditioner before beginning work.

CAUTION: Read instructions carefully before removing any wiring from existing thermostat. Wires must be labeled before they are removed. THERE IS NO STANDARD COLOR CODE. When removing wires from their terminals, ignore the color of the wires since these may not comply with any standard.

1.Switch electricity to the furnace and air conditioner OFF by disconnecting the power supply at the circuit breaker or at each unit.

2.Remove cover from the existing thermostat. Most are snap-on types and simply pull off. Some have locking screws on the side or front and require the screws to be loosened before removal.

3.Note the letters printed near the terminals. ATTACH LABELS (enclosed) to each wire for identification.

Note: It is very important to label all wires before disconnecting them.

4.Label the wires one at a time. You must label all the wires before you proceed. With all wires labeled, remove them from the existing thermostat. Do not let the wires fall back inside the wall. Wrapping them around a pencil, as shown, will keep them from falling.

5.Loosen all screws on the existing thermostat and its mounting plate and remove it from the wall. Be careful not to disturb wiring labels.

6.(Optional) Fill wall opening with

non-combustible insulation to prevent drafts.

IMPORTANT:

LABEL ALL WIRES BEFORE

DISCONNECTING THEM!
