Setup and Installation

1. Pre-Installation Checklist

2. Installation Steps

1. Access the Existing Switch: Locate the existing on/off rocker switch on your fireplace, stove, or insert. This may require removing a control panel or access cover.

4. Install New Switch: Insert the new HHT On/Off Rocker Switch (060-521A) into the opening. Ensure it snaps securely into place.
5. Connect Wiring: Connect the wires to the new switch, replicating the configuration of the old switch. Ensure all connections are secure. If using for basic ON/OFF, connect to the top and bottom terminals.
6. Secure and Test: Replace any removed covers or panels. Reconnect power to the appliance and test the switch functionality.
