INSTALLATION & OPERATION

INSTALLATION AND

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1). THERMOSTAT LOCATION

For accurate temperature control and comfort, 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.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

HEATING ONLY THERMOSTAT

4. Do not locate in a damp or humid area. This can

shorten thermostat life due to corrosion.

5. Do not locate where air circulation is poor, such as in

a corner, alcove, or behind an open door.

6. Do not install until all construction work and painting

have been completed.

2) TOOLS REQUIRED

Wirestripper or knife, drill with ³⁄16" bit, screwdriver, level

and a pencil.

3) REMOVING OLD THERMOSTAT

Please read all instructions carefully. As you complete

each step, check the adjoining square ■✓.

■ Disconnect electricity and turn off gas to the heater.

■ Remove cover from old thermostat.

■ Loosen all screws.

■ Disconnect wires from thermostat, making sure they do

not fall back inside the wall.

■ Strip insulation ³⁄

" from wire ends and clean off any

corrosion.

■ Fill wall opening with non-combustible insulation to

prevent drafts from

affecting thermostat.

4) INSTALLING NEW THERMOSTAT

■ Place new decorative wall plate (if supplied), Figure 3,

over wall opening. Decorative wall plate can optionally

be left off.

■ Remove Front Cover of new thermostat by inserting a

finger in the side of the thermostat and gently prying

■ Attach wires to terminal screws shown in Figure 2.

(Either wire to either terminal) Push excess wire back

into wall opening.

■ Find anticipator setting on old thermostat. Setting on

new thermostat should be the same. Do this by

carefully sliding the long pointer on the anticipator over

the desired number. If old anticipator setting cannot be

determined, look on gas control on furnace, or set it at

.6. During heating season, furnace should operate

about five times an hour. If adjustments are necessary,

move heat anticipator pointer slightly and recheck.

NOTE: Set pointer to 1.2 for millivolt systems.

■ Attach front cover, Figure 1, to base.

■ Turn electricity and gas back on and set pointer on top

of thermostat to desired temperature.

A thermostat can only control temperature near

it. If you find that it is uncomfortable some

distance away from the thermostat, change the

setting in order to compensate for this.
