2. Attach the number 3 (RED) pigtail to the neutral wire in the box (usually WHITE).
3. Attach the number 1 pigtail to the load wire (usually BLACK) leading to the heater. Ensure all connections are tightly secured. Verify connections. Push all cables in the box to make room for the back of the thermostat, and push the device back into the wall plate/electrical box.
4. While holding the plate against the wall, carefully pull the thermostat away from the wall plate. Using a Phillips screwdriver, secure the wall plate to the electrical box using the longer 6/32 screws. Now, hold the body of the thermostat and push the casing upward to open the device, allowing you to secure the back of the thermostat to the wall plate using the small Phillips screws provided. DO NOT over-tighten. Once in place, slide the thermostat casing downward against the back to snap it in place.
