Caution

Tools 

To avoid electrical shock and to prevent damage heating system,
and thermostat, disconnect the power supply before beginning work. 
This can be done at the circuit breaker, or at the appliance.

•  On replacement installations, mount the new thermostat in 
place of the old one.
•  On new Installations, follow the guidelines listed below. 
Locate the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above 
the floor, and in the room with the heater to be controlled.
•  Do not install where there are unusual heating conditions, such 
as: in direct sunlight; near a lamp, radio, television, or above the 
baseboard heater, or fireplace; near hot water pipes in a wall; or 
any other heat source.
      
•  Do not locate in unusual cooling conditions: in a draft from a 
stairwell, door, or window; or on the wall of an unheated room.

or an alcove; or behind an open door. 
•  Do not install until construction and painting is completed.
•  This thermostat does not require leveling.
