INTRODUCTION

Checking Product Received

Upon receiving the unit, inspect it for damage from shipment.
Claims for damage, either shipping or concealed, should
be filed immediately with the shipping company. Check the
unit model number, specifications, electrical characteristics
and accessories to determine if they are correct. In the
event an incorrect unit is shipped, it must be returned to
the supplier and must NOT be installed. The manufacturer
assumes no responsibility for installation of incorrectly
shipped units.

Message to the Homeowner

These instructions are addressed primarily to the installer;
however, useful maintenance information is included and
should be kept, after installation, for future reference.

Before Beginning Installation

Carefully read all instructions for the installation prior to
installing unit. Make sure each step or procedure is
understood and any special considerations are taken into
account before starting installation.  Assemble all tools,
hardware and supplies needed to complete the installation.
Some items may need to be purchased locally. After
deciding where to install unit, closely look the location over
- both the inside and outside of home. Note any potential
obstacles or problems that might be encountered as noted
in this manual. Choose a more suitable location if
necessary.
