This air conditioner meets strict safety and operating
standards. The installer of this unit must install or
service this unit so it operates safe-ly and efficiently.
The lightning flash with arrowhead
symbol, within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated dangerous
voltage within the product’s enclosure
that may be of suffi-cient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within an
equilateral triangle is intended to alert
the user to the presence of im-portant
operating and maintenance (servicing)
in-structions in the literature
accompanying the appli-ance.
The installation instructions are for a experienced
installer. If you are not an experienced installer,
contact a local installer for help.
The manufacturer shall in no way be responsible for
improper instal-lation or maintenance service,
including failure to follow the instruc-tions in this
manual.
•Do not plug in the unit until all connections (tubing,
drain hose,mounting, etc.) have been made and
double-checked.
•High voltages are present in this unit and are very
dangerous. Please refer to these instructions and
diagrams when wiring. Improper connections or
inadequate grounding can cause acciden-tal injury.
•This unit must be grounded in accordance with local
electrical codes.
•Connect wires and pipes securely and tightly as
loose connec-tions/ wiring may cause overheating at
connections and a possible fire hazard.
•When transporting the unit, be very careful and get
help as the units are very heavy. Be careful of sharp
edges on the units also.
•When installing in a ceiling or wall, make sure the
ceiling/wall is strong enough to hold the unit’s
weight. A frame may be necessary for added
support.
•When installing in a room, make sure the tubes are
well insulat-ed to protect the walls and furniture from
sweating of the tubes.
•When installing in moist or uneven locations, make
sure to use a raised level concrete pad or concrete
blocks to provide a level, solid foundation for the
outdoor unit; this prevents water damage and
vibration.
•When installing in an area of high winds, make sure
to securely anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts
and a metal frame.
•Keep all tubing as short as possible.
•Use the flare method for connecting tubing.
•Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces
of the flare and union tubes before connecting them,
then tighten , making sure not to overtighten.
•Check the tubes carefully for leaks before starting
the test run.
