INSTALLATION
REMOVE OLD THERMOSTAT
1. Shut off electricity at the main fuse box until installation is
complete. Ensure that electrical power is disconnected.
2. Remove the front cover of the old thermostat.
With wires
still attached, remove wall plate from the wall. If the old
thermostat has a wall mounting plate, remove the thermostat
and the wall mounting plate as an assembly.

NOT LET WIRES FALL BACK INTO THE WALL.
5. Install new thermostat using the following procedures.
ATTENTION!
This product does not contain mercury. However, this product
may replace a unit which contains mercury.
Do not open mercury cells. If a cell becomes damaged, do not
touch any spilled mercury. Wearing nonabsorbent gloves, take
up the spilled mercury with sand or other absorbent material and
place into a container which can be sealed. If a cell becomes
damaged, the unit should be discarded.
Mercury must not be discarded in household trash. When the
unit this product is replacing is to be discarded, place in a suit-
able container. Refer to www.white-rodgers.com for location to
send product containing mercury.

ELECTRIC HEAT OR SINGLE-STAGE
HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS
This thermostat is configured from the factory to operate a heat/
cool, fossil fuel (gas, oil, etc.), forced air system. It is configured
correctly for any system that DOES NOT require the thermostat
to energize the fan on a call for heat. If your system is an electric
heat or heat-pump system that REQUIRES the thermostat to
turn on the fan on a call for heat, locate the
cool, fossil fuel (gas, oil, etc.), forced air system. It is configured
correctly for any system that DOES NOT require the thermostat
to energize the fan on a call for heat. If your system is an electric
heat or heat-pump system that REQUIRES the thermostat to
turn on the fan on a call for heat, locate the
ELECTRIC/GAS
switch on the back of the thermostat (see fig. 1) and switch
it to the
it to the
ELECTRIC position. This will allow the thermostat
to energize the fan immediately on a call for heat. If you are
unsure if the heating/cooling system requires the thermostat to
control the fan, contact a qualified heating and air conditioning
service person.

ATTACH THERMOSTAT BASE TO WALL
1. Remove the packing material from the thermostat. Gently
pull the cover straight off the base. Forcing or prying on the
thermostat will cause damage to the unit. If necessary, move
the electric heat switch (see
thermostat will cause damage to the unit. If necessary, move
the electric heat switch (see
ELECTRIC HEAT SYSTEMS,
above).
2. Connect wires beneath terminal screws on base using ap-
propriate wiring schematic (see figs. 2 through 7).
3. Place base over hole in wall and mark mounting hole loca-
tions on wall using base as a template.
4. Move base out of the way. Drill mounting holes.
5. Fasten base loosely to wall, as shown in fig. 1, using two

mounting screws. Place a level against bottom of base,
adjust until level, and then tighten screws. (Leveling is for
appearance only and will not affect thermostat operation.)
If you are using existing mounting holes, or if holes drilled
are too large and do not allow you to tighten base snugly,
use plastic screw anchors to secure subbase.

HYDRONIC (HOT WATER OR STEAM)
HEATING SYSTEMS
This thermostat is set to operate properly with a forced-air heat-
ing system. If you have a hydronic heating system (a system
that heats with hot water or steam), you must set the thermostat
to operate properly with your system. Change the second op-
tion in the configuration menu to SL (see CONFIGURATION
