NSPECTION
Always keep the unit upright; laying the unit on its side or top
may cause equipment damage. Shipping damage, and subsequent
investigation is the responsibility of the carrier. Verify the model
number, specifications, electrical characteristics, and accessories
are correct prior to installation. The distributor or manufacturer
will not accept claims from dealers for transportation damage or
installation of incorrectly shipped units.

EGULATIONS
This product is designed and manufactured to comply with na-
tional codes. Installation in accordance with such codes and/or
prevailing local codes/regulations is the responsibility of the in-
staller. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for equip-
ment installed in violation of any codes or regulations. Rated
performance is achieved after 72 hours of operation. Rated per-
formance is delivered at the specified airflow. See outdoor unit
specification sheet for split system models or product specifica-
tion sheet for packaged and light commercial models. Specifica-
tion sheets can be found at www.amana-hac.com for Amana
®
brand products. Within the website, please select the residen-
tial or commercial products menu and then select the submenu
for the type of product to be installed, such as air conditioners
or heat pumps, to access a list of product pages that each con-
tain links to that model’s specification sheet.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has
issued various regulations regarding the introduction and dis-
posal of refrigerants. Failure to follow these regulations may
harm the environment and can lead to the imposition of sub-
stantial fines.
Should you have any questions please contact the
local office of the EPA.
If replacing a condensing unit, heat pump or air handler, the sys-
tem must be manufacturer approved and Air Conditioning, Heat-
ing and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) matched.
NOTE:
The installation of an inverter heat pump with unmatched
system units will not allow for proper operation.

NOTICE
Outdoor inverter units are approved for operation above 0°F in
cooling mode and -20°F (RH10%) in heating mode with no addi-
tional kit necessary.
Damage resulting from operation of the units in a structure that
is not complete (either as port of new construction or renova-
tion) is not covered by our warranties.
F
EATURES
This heat pump is part of a system that uses inverter technology to
more efficiently remove or add heat with better efficiency and
achieve the target comfort conditions. System may ONLY be in-
stalled using a ComfortNet™ thermostat with model number
CTK04 as part of the digital communicating system. The
ComfortNet system reduces the number of required thermostat
wires, provides additional setup features and enhanced active
diagnostics. Due to components using inverter technology, the
heat pump will not function properly if used with a CTK03, 02 or
01 ComfortNet thermostat.

LEARANCES
Special consideration must be given to location of the heat pump
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 ob-
struction
there should be a minimum of 60 inches between the
top of the unit and the obstruction(s).
The specified dimensions
meet requirements for air circulation only. Consult all appropri-
ate regulatory codes prior to determining final clearances.
Another important consideration in selecting a location for the
unit(s) is the angle to obstructions. Either side adjacent the valves
can be placed toward the structure provided the side away from
the structure maintains minimum service clearance. Corner in-
stallations are strongly discouraged.
