.
WARNING:
After removing the wall plate, if you find
that it is mounted on a junction box (e.g. a box

Wire Labeling
1. Disconnect and identify each wire.
2. You may wish to tape the wires to the wall to
keep
them from slipping through the hole in the
wall. If
the hole in the wall is larger than
necessary, fill it in
order to prevent hot or cold
air to penetrate the
thermostat. In this manner,
the thermostat will
behave perfectly.
