IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING:

•

Always turn off power at the main power source by unscrewing
fuse or switching circuit breaker to the off position before installing,
removing, cleaning or servicing thermostat.

•

Read all of the information in this manual before installing or
programming this thermostat.

•

This is a 24V AC low-voltage thermostat. Do not install on voltages
higher than 30V AC.

•

All wiring must conform to local and national building and electrical
codes and ordinances.

•

Do not short (jumper) across terminals on the gas valve or at the
system control to test installation. This will damage the thermostat
and void the warranty.

As an Energy Star partner, Maple Chase has
determined that this thermostat product meets
the Energy Star guide lines for energy efficiency.
