Make sure the wires are connected according to the instructions on the new t-stat. Then, mount the t-stat to the wall and secure it in place with the mounting screws.

5. Test the Installation - To make sure the installation was a success, test it by turning the power back on and setting the t-stat to the desired temperature. If everything is working correctly, the unit should kick on and off according to your desired settings.
