Remove your old thermostat
1. CAUTION TURN OFF POWER to system at the furnace, or at the fuse/circuit breaker panel before you begin.
2. Remove cover and thermostat, but leave wallplate with wires attached.
Leave wallplate in place.
MERCURY NOTICE If your old thermostat contains mercury, contact your local waste management authority for proper disposal instructions.
Label wires and remove old wallplate
Use a screwdriver to disconnect wires one by one. As you disconnect each wire, wrap it with the label matching the letter on your old thermostat. (Adhesive labels are supplied in your thermostat package.)
Remove the old wallplate only after all wires are labeled. Be careful not to let loose wires fall into the wall opening.
If your old thermostat has 4 or more wires (not counting terminals C or C1), you may have purchased the wrong replacement thermostat. Stop now and call 1-800-468-1502 for advice.
