This is a safety alert symbol and should never be ignored. When you see this symbol on labels or in manuals, be alert to 

the potential for personal injury or death.

Installation and servicing of air conditioning equipment 

can be hazardous due to internal refrigerant pressure 

and live electrical components. Only trained and 

qualified  service  personnel  should  install  or  service 

this equipment. Installation and service performed by 

unqualified  persons  can  result  in  property  damage, 

personal injury, or death.

 WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD!

Risk of electrical shock. Disconnect all 

remote power supplies before installing 

or servicing any portion of the system. 

Failure to disconnect power supplies 

can result in property damage, personal 

injury, or death.

 WARNING

Sharp metal edges can cause injury. When installing 

the unit, use care to avoid sharp edges.

 WARNING

General

Read this entire instruction manual, as well as the 

instructions supplied in separate equipment, before 

starting the installation. Observe and follow all warnings, 

cautions, instructional labels, and tags. Failure to comply 

with these instructions could result in an unsafe condition 

and/or premature component failure.

These instructions are intended as a general guide only 

for use by qualified personnel and do not supersede any 

national or local codes in any way. The installation must 

comply with all provincial, state, and local codes as well as 

the National Electrical Code (U.S.) or Canadian Electrical 

Code (Canada). Compliance should be determined prior 

to installation.

This unit uses R-410A, which is an ozone-friendly HFC 

refrigerant. The unit must be installed with a matching 

indoor coil and line set. A filter drier approved for use with 

R-410A is installed in the unit.
