of refrigerants. Failure to follow these regulations may harm the
environment and can lead to the imposition of substantial fines.
Should you have any questions please contact the local office of
the EPA.
If replacing a condensing unit or air handler, the system must be
manufacturer approved and Air Conditioning, Heating, and Re-
frigeration Institute (AHRI) matched. NOTE: Installation of un-
matched systems is strongly discouraged.
Refer to the unit Specification Sheet for the recommended indoor
model selection. NOTE: This unit must be used with a purchased
single stage room thermostat with 24 VAC control circuitry.
Outdoor units are approved for operation above 55°F in cooling
mode. Operation below 55°F requires the use of an approved low
ambient kit.
Do not operate the unit in a structure that is not complete (either
as part of new construction or renovation). Such operation will
void the warranty.
Installation Clearances
This unit is designed for outdoor installations only. Special con-
sideration must be given to location of the condensing unit(s) in
regard to structures, obstructions, other units, and any/all other
factors that may interfere with air circulation. Where possible,
the top of the unit should be completely unobstructed; however, if
vertical conditions require placement beneath an obstruction
there should be a minimum of 60 inches between the top of the
unit and the obstruction(s). The specified dimensions meet re-
quirements for air circulation only. Consult all appropriate regu-
latory codes prior to determining final clearances.
