INSTALLATION & OPERATION

1). THERMOSTAT LOCATION

For accurate temperature control and comfort, correct location is very important. On new installations, the guidelines listed below should be followed as closely as possible. When replacing an old thermostat, install the new one in the same location unless these conditions suggest otherwise.

1. Locate the thermostat on an inside wall about five feet above the floor, where it is easy to install and adjust. It should be in a room that is used often, such as a family room.

2. Do not install it where there are unusual heating conditions, such as direct sunlight, close to a lamp, radio, television, radiator, register, near a fireplace, or other heat producing appliance. Also, check for hot water pipes within the wall, or a stove on the other side of the wall.

3. Do not locate in unusual cooling conditions, such as on an outside wall, or one separating an unheated room, or in drafts from stairwells, doors, or windows.

4. Do not locate in a damp or humid area. This can shorten thermostat life due to corrosion.

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

6. Do not install until all construction work and painting have been completed.

■■ Find anticipator setting on old thermostat. Setting on

new thermostat should be the same. Do this by carefully sliding the long pointer on the anticipator over the desired number. If old anticipator setting cannot be determined, look on gas control on furnace, or set it at .6. During heating season, furnace should operate about five times an hour. If adjustments are necessary, move heat anticipator pointer slightly and recheck.

NOTE: Set pointer to 1.2 for millivolt systems.

■■ Attach front cover, Figure 1, to base.

■■ Turn electricity and gas back on and set pointer on top

of thermostat to desired temperature.

A thermostat can only control temperature near

it. If you find that it is uncomfortable some

distance away from the thermostat, change the

setting in order to compensate for this.
