SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service,

maintenance, or use can cause explosion, fire, electrical shock

or other conditions which may cause personal injury or

property damage. Consult a qualified installer, service agency,

or your distributor or branch for information or assistance. The

qualified installer or agency must use factory-authorized kits or

accessories when modifying this product. Refer to the

individual instructions package
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves.

Use quenching cloths for brazing operations and have a fire

extinguisher available. Read these instructions thoroughly and

follow all warnings or cautions attached to the unit. Consult

local building codes for special requirements. In absence of

local codes, it is recommended that the (USA standard ANSI/

NFPA70, National Electrical Code (NEC), be followed.
It is important to recognize safety information. This is the

safety-alert symbol 

. When you see this symbol on the unit

and in instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for

personal injury.
Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING,

CAUTION, and NOTE. These words are used with the safety-

alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards

which 

will

 result in severe personal injury or death.

WARNING signifies hazards which 

could

 result in personal

injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices,

which 

may

 result in minor personal injury or product and

property damage. NOTE is used to highlight suggestions

which 

will

 result in enhanced installation, reliability, or

operation.
