2 Remove old unit

IMPORTANT : LABEL ALL WIRES 
BEFORE DISCONNECTING THEM!

3 Mount the 8029B

Switch electricity to the furnace and 
air conditioner OFF; 
then proceed with the following steps.
Remove cover from old thermostat. Most are snap-on types 
and simply pull off. Some have locking screws on the side 
or front. These must be loosened.   Note the letters printed 
near the terminals. Attach labels (enclosed) to each wire for 
identification.

Label the wires one at a time.  

You must have all the wires labeled 

before you proceed.

 With all wires labeled, remove them from the old unit.

Make sure the wires 

do not fall back inside

 the wall.  Wind them around a 

pencil to 

keep them from falling

.

Loosen all screws on the old thermostat and remove it from the wall.
Fill wall opening with non-combustible insulation to prevent drafts.  

Separate front from back of unit. Press up on the 
catch on bottom of thermostat and swing the body 
away from the base, lift up to remove the body from 
the base. 
Hold the base against the wall, with the wires 
coming through the opening below the terminal block. 
Position the base for best appearance. Use 
the optional wall plate to cover blemishes 
on wall from your old thermostat.
Attach the base to the wall with the two 
screws provided.
If you are mounting the base to sheet rock 
or if you are using the old mounting holes, 
use the plastic anchors provided. Drill a 
3/16-in.(4.8mm) hole for the insert at each 
screw location, then mount the base.
