SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Improper
installation,
adjustment,
maintenance, or use can cause explosion, fire, electrical shock
or other conditions which may cause personal injury or
property damage. Consult a qualified installer, service agency,
or your distributor or branch for information or assistance. The
qualified installer or agency must use factory-authorized kits or
accessories when modifying this product. Refer to the
individual instructions package
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
Use quenching cloths for brazing operations and have a fire
extinguisher available. Read these instructions thoroughly and
follow all warnings or cautions attached to the unit. Consult
local building codes for special requirements. In absence of
local codes, it is recommended that the (USA standard ANSI/
NFPA70, National Electrical Code (NEC), be followed.
It is important to recognize safety information. This is the
safety-alert symbol
. When you see this symbol on the unit
and in instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for
personal injury.
Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING,
CAUTION, and NOTE. These words are used with the safety-
alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards
which will result in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING signifies hazards which could result in personal
injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices,
which may result in minor personal injury or product and
property damage. NOTE is used to highlight suggestions
which will result in enhanced installation, reliability, or
operation.
