Choose a location for the thermostat about 5 feet above the floor on an inside wall. The thermostat wire supplied with your furnace is 20 feet long, which should be enough to run up through the attic so the thermostat can be a max- imum of 16 feet from furnace measured in a straight line,
or approximately 12 feet from the furnace if the wire is run under the floor. The thermostat should be sensing average

Using a window, door or wall corner for reference, measure to find where vent will be on outside wall. Check to be sure
