GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Used and maintained properly, your heat pump will provide year-upon-year of safe
and economical service. However, as with any mechanical or electrical device, to
get the most from your heat pump–while insuring personal safety for you and
others–certain operational and maintenance factors must be observed.
Likewise, excepting a few minor owner-capable maintenance items (explained
later in this manual), repair and service of your heat pump must be performed only
by experienced service personnel. Should you, the owner, suspect your heat pump
is not performing properly, by referring to the section in this manual entitled:
“Troubleshooting”, you will be able to determine if a call for service is required.
Your installer can be one source of service, or AquaCal Customer Support
personnel stand ready to assist you at: (800) 786-7751. For questions concerning
installation, modifications, operation, service and upkeep, please contact your
installer or AquaCal Customer Support. Warranties may be voided if the heater has
been used, maintained, or repaired improperly.
In addition to possible voiding of warranties: unapproved installation methods,
non-standard modifications, poor or incorrect maintenance, service by unqualified
personnel, or improper use of the heater may result in personal injury and/or
property damage. For personal safety and to avoid damage to equipment, it is
important that safety instructions displayed on the heat pump, and within this
manual, be read, understood, and followed.
