Shut the power off to the circuit. Remove the switch cover plate. Make a diagram and note the colours of the wires that you are to remove. Remove the old switch. Re install the new switch the same way as the old one removed with the wires in the exact position. Use your diagram and notes if you forget. Re install the plate cover and turn the circuit breaker back on for that circuit. One thing to note is make sure the handle is in the up position when on and down when the switch is in the off position.
