  REMOVING OLD THERMOSTAT
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 com-
plete. 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 using the 
labels enclosed with the new 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.
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.
