Important: This Document is customer property and is to remain with this unit. Please return to service information
pack upon completion of work.
These instructions do not cover all variations in systems
nor provide for every possible contingency to be met in
connection with the installation. Should further informa-
tion be desired or should particular problems arise which
are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser's purposes,
the matter should be referred to your installing dealer or
local distributor.
Note: The manufacturer recommends installing ONLY
A.H.R.I. approved, matched indoor and outdoor systems.
Some of the benefits of installing approved matched
indoor and outdoor split systems are maximum efficien-
cy, optimum performance, and the best overall system
reliability.
Note: Condensation may occur on the surface of the air
handler when installed in an unconditioned space. When
units are installed in unconditioned spaces, verify that
all electrical and refrigerant line penetrations on the air
handler are sealed completely.
The GAM5 air handlers will only use
the following internal electric heaters:
