O HE NSTALLER
Carefully read all instructions for the installation prior to installing
unit. Make sure each step or procedure is understood and any spe-
cial considerations are taken into account before starting installa-
tion. Assemble all tools, hardware and supplies needed to com-
plete the installation. Some items may need to be purchased lo-
cally. After deciding where to install unit, closely look the location
over - both the inside and outside of home. Note any potential ob-
stacles or problems that might be encountered as noted in this
manual. Choose a more suitable location if necessary.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If a crankcase heater is used, the unit should
be energized 24 hours prior to compressor start up to ensure crank-
case heater has sufficiently warmed the compressor. Compressor
damage may occur if this step is not followed.
Before using this manual, check the serial plate for proper model
identification.
The installation and servicing of this equipment must be performed
by qualified, experienced technicians only.

SHIPPING INSPECTION

Checking Product Received

Upon receiving the unit, inspect it for damage from shipment.
Claims for damage, either shipping or concealed, should be
filed immediately with the shipping company. Check the unit
model number, specifications, electrical characteristics and
accessories to determine if they are correct. In the event an
incorrect unit is shipped, it must be returned to the supplier
and must NOT be installed. The manufacturer assumes no
responsibility for installation of incorrectly shipped units.

Message to the Homeowner

These instructions are addressed primarily to the installer;
however, useful maintenance information is included and
should be kept, after installation, for future reference.
