furnace wiring or furnace.  
) Your HUNTER thermostat is designed to  
operate with gas, oil, electric or forced hot  
water heating and air conditioning  
systems using 24 volt or millivolt controls

systems represent the great majority of  
residential central heating and air  
conditioning units in the United States.

operate with heat pump systems, high  
voltage electric base-board, electric  
ceiling or multistage heating and cooling  
systems.

1) Models 40020, 40040 and 40050 are heat  
only thermostats and have only the  
temperature selector. Models 40035,  
40060 and 40070 are heat/cool  
thermostats and have three switches: the  
temperature selector, the heat/off/cool  
system on the left side of the front cover,  
and the fan on/auto selector on the right  
side of the front cover.  
THERMOSTAT REMOVAL

of your HUNTER thermostat by pulling  
the base with one hand and the cover  
with your other hand.  
2) Position the baseplate against the wall  
and feed the wires through the two  
openings above the wire terminals.  
3) Using the screws and anchors provided,  
attach the baseplate securely to the wall.  
This thermostat does not have to be level.  
4) Connect wires to the proper terminals as

) Expose the wiring terminals on the  
existing thermostat, and they are generally  
on the baseplate. Before removing any  
wires determine the terminal markings for  
each wire. Then based on Table A apply  
the self-adhesive labels provided to the  
corresponding wires. (For example, attach  
the label marked “W” to the wire going to  
the W or H terminals on your present  
thermostat.)  
NOTE: IGNORE THE COLOR OF THE  
WIRES since these do not always  
comply with the standard.  
) Once all wires are labeled, disconnect the  
wires from the thermostat.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE  
) If the hole in the wall is larger than  
necessary for wires, seal the hole up, so  
that no hot or cold air can enter the back  
of the thermostat. This air can cause a  
false reading from the thermostat.
