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

Sharp metal edges can cause injury. When installing 

the unit, use care to avoid sharp edges.

 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

Application

These units are designed for use in residential and light 

commercial type buildings. Units should be installed with 

approved indoor matches listed in the Air-Conditioning, 

Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) Directory of 

Certified Products. Refer to http://www.ahridirectory.org.

The Clean Air Act of 1990 bans the intentional venting 

of refrigerant (CFCs, HCFCs and HFCs) as of July 

1, 1992. Approved methods of recovery, recycling or 

reclaiming must be followed. Fines and/or incarceration 

may be levied for noncompliance.
