INSTALLATION & OPERATION
THERMOSTAT LOCATION
For accurate temperature control and comfort, the 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Do not locate in a damp or humid area. This can shorten thermostat life due to corrosion.
- Do not locate where air circulation is poor, such as in a corner, alcove, or behind an open door.
- Do not install until all construction work and painting have been completed.
TOOLS REQUIRED
Wire stripper or knife, drill with ⅔6* bit, screwdriver, level, and a pencil.

REMOVING OLD THERMOSTAT
Please read all instructions carefully. As you complete each step, check the adjoining square.
- Disconnect the electricity and turn off the gas to the heater.
- Remove the cover from the old thermostat.
- Loosen all screws.
- Disconnect wires from the thermostat, making sure they do not fall back inside the wall.
- Strip insulation ⅜” from wire ends and clean off any corrosion.
- Fill wall openings with non-combustible insulation to prevent drafts from affecting the thermostat.
- Attach wires to terminal screws shown in Figure 2. (Either wire to either terminal) Push excess wire back into the wall opening. Find the anticipator setting on the old thermostat. The setting on the new thermostat should be the same.
- Do this by carefully sliding the long pointer on the anticipator over the desired number. If the old anticipator setting cannot be determined, look at the gas control on the furnace, or set it at 6. During heating season, furnace should operate about five times an hour. If adjustments are necessary, move the heat anticipator pointer slightly and recheck. NOTE: Set pointer to 1.2 for millivolt systems.
- Attach the front cover, Figure 1, to the base.
- Turn electricity and gas back on and set pointer on top of thermostat to desired temperature.

INSTALLING NEW THERMOSTAT
- Place a new decorative wall plate (if supplied), Figure 3, over the wall opening. Decorative wall plates can optionally be left off.
- Remove the Front Cover of the new thermostat by inserting a finger in the side of the thermostat and gently prying away each corner. Place Base, Figure 2, on the wall plate over the wall opening. Mark the wall with a pencil at mounting holes as shown in Figure 2. Now lay the wall plate and base to the side.
- Drill two holes with ⅗6″ bit, 1″ deep.
- Insert plastic screw anchors into drilled holes, flush with the wall surface.
- Bring wires through a large hole in the decorative wall plate and through the Hole For Wires in the Base. Fasten the Base loosely to the wall using two mounting screws.
- Place a level against the bottom of the Base, adjust until it is level, and then tighten the mounting screws to secure the Base.
