• Approximately 5 ft (1.5m) from oor.
• Near or in a frequently used room, preferably on an inside partitioning wall.
• On a section of wall without pipes or duct-work.
Thermostat should NOT be mounted:
• Near a window, on an outside wall, or next to a door leading outside.
• With exposure to direct light or heat from a lamp, sun, replace, or other temperature-radiating objects which
may cause false readings.
• Near or in direct airow from supply registers and return-air grills.
• Near concealed pipes and chimneys.
• In areas with poor air circulation, such as behind a door or in an alcove.
After choosing a location for the new thermostat, you must arrange to have a heating contractor install the
control wiring for you.
Installation
TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK OR DEATH, SHUT OFF POWER
SUPPLY AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST
THAT THE POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING.

Replacing Old Thermostat
Note: Do not operate the cooling system when outside temperature is below 10ºC (50ºF) to avoid damaging the
compressor.
• Test the system to make sure that your heating and cooling are working properly before installation. If either
does not work, contact your local heating/air-conditioning dealer to x the problem before installation.
• TURN OFF POWER to system at the furnace, or at the fuse/circuit breaker panel.
• Carefully unpack your new thermostat and mounting plate; save packaging of screws, instructions and receipt.
• Remove cover from old thermostat. If it does not snap off when pulled rmly from the bottom, check for a
screw used to secure the cover.
• Loosen screws holding thermostat to the wall and lift away the thermostat.
• Disconnect wires from old thermostat or sub-base. As you disconnect each wire, use masking tape to label them
with the old terminal designation. If there are only two wires, they don’t need to be labeled.
• If there is an extra wire that is not connected to your old thermostat, then you won’t need to connect it to the
new thermostat.
• Take care not to let the wires fall back into the wall or let the ends of the wires touch one another.
• The wires are usually designated 'W', 'Y', 'G', 'RH', 'RC', 'O', 'B', 'H1', 'H2'.
