READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS GUIDE BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR QUIETCOOL

GETTING STARTED

 

STOP! 

Read the following pages before proceeding! The manufacturer is NOT responsible 

for faulty installation or product damages caused through failure to fully read this guide 

BEFORE attempting installation. 

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

 

1. READ INSTRUCTIONS

 - All safety and operation instructions must be read.

2. RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS

 - The safety and operating instructions should be kept for future reference.

3. HEED WARNINGS

 - All warnings should be followed.

4. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS

 - All installation and operating instructions should be followed.

5. WATER

 - The QuietCool system should not be used near water. If you live in a very humid climate,  

    be sure to cover your damper box with insulation to reduce condensation.

6. HEAT

 - The QuietCool system should be situated away from heat sources.

7. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE

 - Only qualified service personnel should service the QuietCool system.   

    The user should not attempt to service the product. 

8. AVOID BACKDRAFTS

 - Care should be taken to avoid backdrafting combustion appliances that are  

 

    installed in the conditioned space. Whole house fans are capable of pulling large quantities of air, from
    the home, particularly if not enough windows are open. This could easily backdraft gas appliances 
    located inside your home. Take care if you have gas appliances installed inside of your home.
