Demolition time
Took of the front cover, started on the 3 main screws around |

Mark the wires
The package came with stickers you can put on the wires, but in my case the stickers were so dry that they wouldnt stick, so I wrote down R-White and W-Green on a paper. |

Gas or Electric?
Have to set if your system is gas or electric, if gas then the on/off is delayed a bit so it won't go off/on too often |

Ready?
Made sure you have done all the right connections?
Then turn back on power. |

Testing system
Adjust temperature up higher than current temperature to test system, wolla... Done! |

Do not throw in the trash!
Old Temperature sensors contain Mercury! do not throw it in the trash, contact your local government about howto dispose them, many cities have mercury return programs. |
