EGULATIONS
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.amana-hac.com for Amana®
brand products. Within the website, please select the residential
or commercial products menu and then select the submenu for
the type of product 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, heat pump or air handler, the sys-
tem must be manufacturer approved and Air Conditioning, Heat-
ing and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) matched.
NOTE: The installation of an inverter heat pump with unmatched
system units will not allow for proper operation.

AMAGE RESULTING FROM OPERATION WITH ANY
OTHER COMBINATION IS NOT COVERED BY OUR WARRANTIES
Outdoor inverter units are approved for operation above 0°F in
cooling mode and -20°F (RH10%) in heating mode with no addi-
tional kit necessary.
Damage resulting from operation of the unit in a structure that is
not complete (either as part of new construction or renovation) is
not covered by our warranties.

EATURES
This heat pump is part of a system that uses inverter technology to
more efficiently remove or add heat with better efficiency and
achieve the target comfort conditions. System may ONLY be in-
stalled using a ComfortNet™ thermostat with model number CTK04
as part of the digital communicating system. The ComfortNet
system reduces the number of required thermostat wires, pro-
vides additional setup features and enhanced active diagnostics.
Due to components using inverter technology, the heat pump
will not function properly if used with a CTK03, 02 or 01
ComfortNet thermostat.

NSTALLATION
LEARANCES
Special consideration must be given to location of the heat pump
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.
Another important consideration in selecting a location for the
unit(s) is the angle to obstructions. Either side adjacent the valves
can be placed toward the structure provided the side away from
the structure maintains minimum service clearance. Corner in-
stallations are strongly discouraged.

This unit can be located at ground floor level or on flat roofs. At
ground floor level, the unit must be on a solid, level foundation
that will not shift or settle. To reduce the possibility of sound
transmission, the foundation slab should not be in contact with
or be an integral part of the building foundation. Care should be
taken to ensure the unit is installed away from noise sensitive
locations such as bedrooms, windows and outdoor living areas.
Ensure the foundation is sufficient to support the unit. A concrete
slab raised above ground level provides a suitable base.

NSTALLATIONS
If it is necessary to install this unit on a roof structure, ensure the
roof structure can support the weight and that proper consider-
ation is given to the weather-tight integrity of the roof. Since the
unit can vibrate during operation, sound vibration transmission
should be considered when installing the unit. Vibration absorb-
ing pads or springs can be installed between the heat pump unit
legs or frame and the roof mounting assembly to reduce noise
vibration.
