chemicals can corrode unit components.
•
Do not install the unit where leakage of flammable gas
may occur. If gas leaks and accumulates around the

•
Connect drainage piping properly. If drainage piping is
not connected properly, water leakage can cause prop-
erty damage.

Do not overcharge the unit. This unit is factory pre-
charged. Overcharge will cause over-current or damage
to the compressor.

Keep panel closed. Unsecured panels will cause the
unit to operate noisily.
NOTICE
This product was carefully packed and thoroughly
inspected before leaving the factory. Responsibility for
its safe delivery was assumed by the carrier upon
acceptance of the shipment. Claims for loss or damage
sustained in transit must therefore be made upon the
carrier, as follows:
VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE
Any external evidence of loss or damage must be noted
on the freight bill or carrier’s receipt, and signed by the
carrier’s agent. Failure to adequately describe such
external evidence of loss or damage may result in the
carrie’s refusing to honor a damaged claim. The form
required to file such a claim will be supplied by the
carrier.
CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE
Concealed loss or damage means loss or damage
which does not become apparent until the product has
been unpacked. The contents may be damaged in
transit due to rough handling even though the carton
may not show external damages. When the damage is
discovered upon unpacking, make a written request for
inspection by the carrier’s agent within fifteen (15)
days of the delivery date. File a claim with the carrier
since such damage is the carrier’s responsibility.
