 PREPARATIONS
To  prevent  electrical  shock  and/or  equipment  damage, 
disconnect electrical power to the system at the main fuse 
or circuit breaker until installation is complete.
CAUTION
!
Before  removing  wires  from  old  thermostat’s  switching  subbase, 
label  each  wire  with  the  terminal  designation  it  was  removed 
from.
1.
  Remove  Old Thermostat:    A  standard  heat/cool  thermostat 
consists of three basic parts:
 
a.  The cover, which may be either a snap-on or hinge type.
 
b.  The base, which is removed by loosening all captive screws.
 
c.  The switching subbase, which is removed by unscrewing  
 
  the mounting screws that hold it on the wall or adaptor plate.
2.
  Shut  off  electricity  at  the  main  fuse  box  until  installation  is 
complete. Ensure that electrical power is disconnected.
3.
  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.
4.
  Identify each wire attached to the old thermostat. 
5.
  Disconnect the wires from the old thermostat one at a time. DO 
NOT LET WIRES FALL BACK INTO THE WALL.
6.
  Install new thermostat using the following procedures.
