Remove Old Thermostat

This thermostat comes with two #8 slotted screws and two wall
anchors for mounting. To install your unit, you should have the follow-
ing tools and materials.

■ Slotted screwdriver

■ Electric drill and 3/16" bit

■ Hammer

■ Three 1.5 (AA) Size Alkaline batteries

CAUTION: Do not remove any wiring from existing thermostat
before reading the instructions carefully. Wires must be labeled prior
to removal.

■ Before disconnecting any wires, apply the self-adhesive labels pro-
vided to the wire as shown in Table A. (For example, attach the label
marked W to the wire which goes to the W or H terminal on the exist-
ing thermostat.) IGNORE THE COLOR OF THE WIRES since these do
not always comply with the standard.

■ Each wire coming from the wall to the existing thermostat is con-

nected to a terminal point on that thermostat. Each of these terminal
points is usually marked with a code letter shown in Table A.

■ Turn off the power to the furnace at the main power panel or at

the furnace.

■ Remove existing thermostat cover and thermostat. Some thermo-

stats will have screws or other locking devices that must first be
removed. Once wall mounting plate is exposed, look for wires.

If wires are not visible, they may be connected to the back of the
wallplate. Again, look for screws, tabs, etc. Some models have doors
that open to expose wires and mounting screws. (See Figure 1.)
