SECTION 1   OVERVIEW AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 

In this section you will find the general instructions to follow for the installation of the 
GAHP-AR, outlines on the running of the unit, constructive characteristics and technical 
data. 

1.1 WARNINGS 

 

This manual is an integral and essential part of the product and must be given to the end 
user along with the GAHP-AR. 
This appliance must be used exclusively for its intended purpose. All chilling and heating 
applications must be in accordance with the operating specifications of the unit. Any other 
use is considered improper and, therefore, dangerous. 
Steps must be taken to avoid improper use and potential dangers. 
The operational conditions and authorized areas of use are reported in paragraph 1.3 
TECHNICAL DATA, page 9. 

 The manufacturer will not accept contractual or non-contractual liability for 

damages caused to people, animals, or things due to incorrect installation and 
improper use of the GAHP-AR and also by not observing the indications and 
instructions provided by the manufacturer. 

Codes and standards 

The installation of the appliance must conform with local building codes or, in the absence 
of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, the Natural Gas 
Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the Propane Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2, 
as applicable. 
The appliance electrical connections and grounding must be in accordance with any local 
codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the latest edition of the National Electrical 
Codes, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (CSA Standard C22.1 when installed in Canada) and with any 
local codes. To ensure the electrical safety of this appliance, it must be correctly 
connected to an efficient grounding system. The manufacturer is not responsible for any 
damages caused by the failure of the grounding system. 

At the installation spot 

After delivery of the GAHP-AR and at the location where it is to be installed, check the 
GAHP-AR to make sure there are no signs of damage to the packaging or to the external
