If this control is replacing a control that contains mercury in
a sealed tube, do not place your old control in the trash.
Contact your local waste management authority for
instructions regarding recycling and the proper disposal of
this control, or of an old control containing mercury in a
sealed tube.

Push the excess wire back through the hole and
plug any opening with packing material to prevent
drafts that may affect thermostat performance.
Exactly level the thermostat using a spirit level or
plumb line. An incorrectly leveled thermostat will
cause inaccurate temperature control. Tighten the two
mounting screws at the middle of the device. Install two
screws in top mounting holes and tighten.
Loosely secure the thermostat to the wall or outlet
box with screws through the two mounting holes at
the middle of the device. The sheetmetal screws included
with the thermostat are designed for use in plaster walls
that do not need anchors.
Replace the thermostat cover.
