age, phase, etc. to be sure equipment matches what is re-
quired for the job specification.
• Read the entire instructions before starting the installation.
• Some building codes require extra cabinet insulation and gas-
keting when unit is installed in attic applications.
• If installed in an unconditioned space, apply caulking around
the power wires, control wires, refrigerant tubing and conden-
sate line where they enter the cabinet. Seal the power wires on
the inside where they exit conduit opening. Caulking is re-

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
IMPORTANT: All manufacturer products meet current Federal
OSHA Guidelines for safety. California Proposition 65 warnings
are required for certain products, which are not covered by the
OSHA standards.
California's Proposition 65 requires warnings for products sold in
California that contain, or produce, any of over 600 listed chemi-
cals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth de-
fects such as fiberglass insulation, lead in brass, and combustion
products from natural gas.
All "new equipment" shipped for sale in California will have labels
stating that the product contains and/or produces Proposition 65
chemicals. Although we have not changed our processes, having
the same label on all our products facilitates manufacturing and
shipping. We cannot always know "when, or if" products will be
sold in the California market.
You may receive inquiries from customers about chemicals found
in, or produced by, some of our heating and air-conditioning equip-
ment, or found in natural gas used with some of our products.
Listed below are those chemicals and substances commonly as-
sociated with similar equipment in our industry and other manu-
facturers.
• Glass Wool (Fiberglass) Insulation
• Carbon Monoxide (CO)
• Formaldehyde
• Benzene
More details are available at the Websites for OSHA (Occupa-
tional Safety and Health Administration), at www.osha.gov and the
State of California's OEHHA (Office of Environmental Health Haz-
ard Assessment), at www.oehha.org. Consumer education is im-
portant since the chemicals and substances on the list are found
in our daily lives. Most consumers are aware that products pres-
ent safety and health risks, when improperly used, handled and
maintained.
