The United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) has issued various regulations regarding the
introduction and disposal of refrigerants in this unit. Failure to
follow these regulations may harm the environment and can lead
to the imposition of substantial fines. These regulations may vary
by jurisdiction. A certified technician must perform the installation
and service of this product. Should questions arise, contact your
local EPA office.
This product is designed and manufactured to permit installation
in accordance with national codes. It is the installer’s
responsibility to install this unit in accordance with national codes
and/or prevailing local codes and regulations.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
These instructions are intended as a general guide only for use by

codes in any way. Compliance with all local, state, or national
codes pertaining to this type of equipment should be determined
prior to installation.
Read this entire instruction manual, as well as the instructions
supplied in separate equipment, before starting the installation.
The installation of the heat pump or air conditioning unit, wiring,
warm air ducts, venting, etc., must conform to the requirements
of the National Fire Protection Association; the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (latest edition) in the United States, and
any state laws, local ordinances (including plumbing or
wastewater codes). Local authorities having jurisdiction should

Tools needed
Parts needed
Check local codes and existing electrical supply. Read “Electrical
Requirements” and “Ductwork Requirements” before purchasing
parts.
Location Requirements
Consider the effect of the outdoor fan noise on conditioned
space and any adjacent occupied space. It is recommended that
the unit be placed so that the condenser air discharge does not
blow toward windows less than 25 ft (7.6 m) away.
Heat pumps require special location consideration in areas of
heavy snow accumulation and/or areas with prolonged
continuous subfreezing temperatures. Heat pump unit bases
have holes under the outdoor coil to permit drainage of defrost
water accumulation. The unit must be situated to allow free
unobstructed drainage of the defrost water and ice. A minimum
2" (5.1 cm) clearance under the outdoor coil is required in milder
climates.
