Indoor Unit Placement
AVOID
Do not install the unit in the following locations:
• Areas exposed to petrochemicals or petrochemical
products
• Areas exposed to salt or other corrosive materials or
caustic gasses
• Areas exposed to extreme voltage variations (such as
factories
• Tightly enclosed areas that may impede service of the
unit
• Areas exposed to fossil fuels (such as oil or gas in
kitchens)
• Areas exposed to strong electromagnetic forces
• Areas exposed to acids or alkaline detergents (laundry
rooms)
DO:
• Locate the unit so that it is not exposed to direct
sunlight
•
Ensure the structural wall, floor, or ceiling can support
the weight of the unit.
• Select a location where condensate line will have the
shortest run to a suitable drain per local codes.
•
Allow sufficient space around unit for proper operation
and maintenance
• Install unit a minimum of 3 feet away from any antenna,
power cord (line) radio, telephone, security system, or
intercom. Electrical interference and radio frequencies
from any of these sources may affect operation
• Be sure to instruct customers how to properly
operate the unit (especially maintenance of air filter,
and operation procedure) by having them carry out
operations themselves while looking at the manual
provided with the controller.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard - Use tow or more people
when moving and installing the unit. Failure to do so can
result in back or other type of injury.
WARNING
Danger of explosion.
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such
as gasoline, away form air handler.
Place air handler so that heating elements
are at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the
floor for a garage installation.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in death, explosion, or fire.
CAUTION
Make sure the blower motor support is tight (3-motor
mount bolts) then check to see if wheel is secured to
motor shaft before operating unit.

IMPORTANT
This unit is approved for installation clearance to
combustible material as stated on the unit rating plate.
Accessibility and service clearances must take
precedence over combustible material clearances.
Excessive condensation may occur if the unit is installed
in a warm, humid place. When the unit is installed in an
unconditioned space, apply sealant around
electrical wires, refrigerant piping and condensate lines
at the point where they enter the cabinet.
Apply sealant on the inside of the cabinet at the point
where the electrical wires exit through the conduit
opening.
Sealing the cabinet in this way prevents warm, moist,
unconditioned air from entering the cabinet. Warm,
moist air in the cabinet forms condensate on the cooler
control box and electrical controls.
The air handler must be installed so that free access is
allowed to the coil/filter compartment and blower/control
compartment.
WARNING
Use the provided and specified components when
installing equipment. Failure to do so may result in
unit falling, water leaking or electrical shocks, caus ing
personal injury or equipment or property dam age.
Check suitability of structure to which the unit support
mechanism will be fixed to. If structure is not capable
of carrying the weight of the unit, unit may fall causing
personal injury or equipment damage.
Consider the possibility of earthquakes in your area
when installing the equipment. If the unit is not correctly
secured, it may fall, causing personal injury or equipment
damage.
Safely dispose of packing materials, which include
nails, wood and other sharp objects, as well as plastic
wrapping. Children playing with plastic wrap or bags risk
the danger of suffocation.
CAUTION
Do not place items which may be damaged by water
under or around the indoor unit.
