INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Codes & Regulations
This product is designed and manufactured to comply with na-
tional codes. Installation in accordance with such codes and/or
prevailing local codes/regulations is the responsibility of the in-
staller. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for equip-
ment installed in violation of any codes or regulations. Rated
performance is achieved after 72 hours of operation. Rated per-
formance is delivered at the specified airflow. See outdoor unit
specification sheet for split system models or product specifica-
tion sheet for packaged and light commercial models. Specifica-
tion sheets can be found at www.daikincomfort.com for Daikin.
Within the website, please select the residential or commercial
products menu and then select the submenu for the type of prod-
uct to be installed, such as air conditioners or heat pumps, to
access a list of product pages that each contain links to that
model's specification sheet.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has is-
sued various regulations regarding the introduction and disposal
of refrigerants. Failure to follow these regulations may harm the
environment and can lead to the imposition of substantial fines.
Should you have any questions please contact the local office of
the EPA.
If replacing a condensing unit or air handler, the system must be
manufacturer approved and Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrig-
eration Institute (AHRI) matched. NOTE: Installation of unmatched
systems is strongly discouraged.
Outdoor units are approved for operation above 55°F in cooling
mode. Operation below 55°F requires the use of an approved low
ambient kit.
Operating the unit in a structure that is not complete (either as
part of new construction or renovation) will void the warranty.

Installation Clearances

Special consideration must be given to location of the condensing
unit(s) in regard to structures, obstructions, other units, and any/
all other factors that may interfere with air circulation. Where
possible, the top of the unit should be completely unobstructed;
however, if vertical conditions require placement beneath an ob-
struction there should be a minimum of 60 inches between the
top of the unit and the obstruction(s). The specified dimensions
meet requirements for air circulation only. Consult all appropri-
ate regulatory codes prior to determining final clearances.
