ALL phases of this installation must comply with NATIONAL, STATE AND LOCAL CODES.
IMPORTANT — This Document is customer property and is to remain with this unit. Please return to service informa-
tion pack upon completion of work.
These instructions do not cover all variations in systems or provide for every possible contingency to be met in connection with
the installation. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise which are not covered sufficiently for the
purchaser's purposes, the matter should be referred to your installing dealer or local distributor.
Note: The manufacturer recommends installing only approved matched indoor and outdoor systems. All of the manufacture's split
systems are AHRI rated with Piston/TXV/EEV indoor systems. Some of the benefits of installing approved matched indoor and
outdoor split systems are maximum efficiency, optimum performance and the best overall system reliability.

Only qualified personnel should install and service the equipment. The installation, starting up, and servicing of
heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning equipment can be hazardous and requires specific knowledge and train-
ing. Improperly installed, adjusted or altered equipment by an unqualified person could result in death or serious in-
jury. When working on the equipment, observe all precautions in the literature and on the tags, stickers, and labels
that are attached to the equipment.
