Preparation
The Existing Thermostat
1. Test The System
Verify that the heating and/or cooling system is
operating properly before you try to install the
new thermostat.
DO NOT
test the system by shorting electric
terminals at the furnace or air conditioner.
This may damage the thermostat.
2. Turn Power Off
• Turn all heating and cooling systems off.
This can be done at the circuit breaker.
CAUTION: DO NOT REMOVE
the existing
thermostat until power has been turned off
at the circuit breaker.
Once power to the heating AND cooling systems is
off, follow these steps:
3. Remove Thermostat Cover
• Remove the cover from the existing thermostat.
Do not disconnect the wires yet.
TIP: Take a picture of the wires before you
detach them from the existing thermostat
for future reference.
4. Label All Existing Wires
• Label all existing wires, one at a time, with the
labels provided.
Make sure the wires are labeled correctly. If you
have an unidentified wire, it may be necessary to
identify the wire where it connects to the heating
or air conditioning equipment.
