MOUNTING AND WIRING
Take care when securing and routing wires so they do
not short to adjacent terminals or rear of thermostat.
Personal injury and/or property damage may occur.
CAUTION !
ATTENTION! This product does not contain mercury. How-
ever, this product may replace a unit which contains mercury.
Do not open mercury cells. If a cell becomes damaged, do not
touch any spilled mercury. Wearing non-absorbent gloves, take
up the spilled mercury and place into a container which can be
sealed. If a cell becomes damaged, the unit should be discarded.
Mercury must not be discarded in household trash. When the unit
this product is replacing is to be discarded, place in a suitable
container and return to White-Rodgers at 2895 Harrison Street,
Batesville, AR 72501 for proper disposal.

Electric/Gas Switch (Fan Option)
The ELEC/GAS switch is factory set to the GAS position. In this
position, the thermostat will not power the circulator fan on a call
for heat.
If your system requires that the thermostat power the circulator
fan this switch must be set to the ELEC position. On a multi-stage
system, the thermostat will power the circulator fan on a call for
heat. On a Heat Pump system, the thermostat will power the
circulator fan on a call for second stage heat when the thermostat
is in Emergency mode.
O/B Terminal Switch Selection
The O/B switch on this thermostat is factory set to “O” position.
This will accommodate the majority of heat pump applications,
which require the changeover relay to be energized in COOL. If
the thermostat you are replacing or the heat pump being installed
with this thermostat requires a “B” terminal, to energize the
changeover relay in HEAT, the O/B switch must be moved to the
“B” position.
For multi-stage, the switch must be in “O” position for “Y2” to
operate properly.
Attach Thermostat Base to Wall
1. Remove the packing material from the thermostat. Gently pull
the cover straight off the base. Forcing or prying on the
thermostat will cause damage to the unit.
2. Connect wires beneath terminal screws on base using appro-
priate wiring schematic (see figs. 2 through 4).
3. Place base over hole in wall and mark mounting hole locations
on wall using base as a template.
4. Move base out of the way. Drill mounting holes.
5. Fasten base loosely to wall, as shown in fig. 1, using two
mounting screws. Place a level against bottom of base, adjust
until level, and then tighten screws. (Leveling is for appear-
ance only and will not affect thermostat operation.) If you are
using existing mounting holes, or if holes drilled are too large
and do not allow you to tighten base snugly, use plastic screw
anchors to secure subbase.
6. Push excess wire into wall and plug hole with a fire-resistant
material (such as fiberglass insulation) to prevent drafts from
affecting thermostat operation.
Do not use on circuits exceeding specified voltage.
Higher voltage will damage control and could cause
shock or fire hazard.
Do not short out terminals on gas valve or primary
control to test. Short or incorrect wiring will damage
thermostat and could cause personal injury and/or prop-
erty damage.
Thermostat installation and all components of the sys-
tem shall conform to Class II circuits per the NEC code.
