3. Install an integrated thermostat If you wish to install an integrated thermostat, remove the facade off the baseboard as well as the end plate located on the same side as the wires you have joined.

4. Connect the integrated thermostat Undo one of the two pairs of wires in order to form the three following combinations: a pair that includes a strand from the wall and one from the baseboard (pair that is already formed), a second pair that includes a strand from the wall and one from the thermostat and a third made up of one strand from the baseboard and one from the thermostat. Be sure the wire connectors are solidly attached to the three pairs of strands, and close that section of the baseboard as well as the facade.
5. Install the baseboard to the wall Mark the centre on the baseboard. Determine the exact location where it is to be installed on the wall. If the wall includes a window, be sure to centre the baseboard under the window. Screw the baseboard into the wall through the holes provided.
6. Check for proper operation To check on the proper operation of the thermostat, follow these steps: 6.1 Turn on the power but keep the thermostat shut for a few minutes. If the baseboard starts to heat up, you have a thermostat connection problem. 6.2 If the baseboard does not heat up, set the thermostat at a high temperature to turn on the baseboard. If the baseboard starts to heat up, you have installed it correctly. The steps outlined above are intended for conventional baseboards. But, no matter what type of baseboard you want
