needed
• Powder coat paint system – for a long lasting professional finish
• Scroll compressor – uses 70% fewer moving parts for higher
efficiency and increased reliability
• Modern cabinet aesthetics – increased curb appeal with visu-
ally appealing design
• Curved louver panels – provide ultimate coil protection,
enhance cabinet strength, and increased cabinet rigidity
• Optimized fan orifice – optimizes airflow and reduces unit
sound
• Rust resistant screws – confirmed through 1500-hour salt
spray testing
• PlusOne™ Expanded Valve Space – 3"-4"-5" service valve
space – provides a minimum working area of 27-square
inches for easier access
• PlusOne™ Triple Service Access – 15" wide, industry lead-
ing corner service access – makes repairs easier and faster.
The two fastener removable corner allows optimal access to
internal unit components. Individual louver panels come out
