SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Installing and servicing air-conditioning equipment can be
hazardous due to system pressure and electrical compo-
nents. Only trained and qualified service personnel should
install or service air-conditioning equipment.
Untrained personnel may perform basic maintenance such

be performed by trained service personnel. When working on
air-conditioning equipment, observe safety precautions in
literature, and on tags and labels attached to unit.

guisher available. Read these instructions thoroughly. Con-
sult local building codes and National Electrical Code (NEC,
U.S.A. Standard) for special installation requirements.
