C.1 Pre-Installation Checkpoints
Before attempting any installation, carefully consider the
following points:
•
Clearances and provision for servicing. Install this unit
in accordance with local and national standards. Any and
all work must be done by authorized personnel.
•
IMPORTANT: Before you begin the actual installation
of your air conditioner, check your local electrical codes
and the information below. Your air conditioner must be
connected to a power source with the same alternating
current (A.C.) voltage and amperage as marked on the
name plate located on the chassis. Only A.C. can be used.
Direct Current (D.C.) cannot be used.
•
CIRCUIT PROTECTION – Use on single outlet circuit only.
An overloaded circuit will invariably cause malfunction or
failure of an air conditioner; therefore, it is necessary that
the electrical protection is adequate. Due to momentary
high current demand when the air conditioner starts,
use a "TIME DELAY" fuse or a HACR type circuit breaker.
Consult your dealer or power company if in doubt.
•
Refer to the electrical name plate located on the air
conditioner chassis (see Table E.1 to determine the
correct fuse or circuit breaker amperage for your model.
The power cord has a plug with a grounding prong and a
•
matching receptacle is required.
C.2 Tools Required
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Make sure your electrical receptacle has the
same configuration as your air conditioner's
plug. If different, consult a Licensed Electrician.
Do not use plug adapters.
Do not use an extension cord.
Do not remove ground prong.
Always plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in

WARNING
Refigeration System
Under High Pressure
Do not puncture, heat, expose to flame or
incinerate.
Only certified refrigeration technicians should
service this equipment.
R410A and R32 systems operate at higher
pressures than R22 equipment.
Appropriate safe service and handling
practices must be used.
Only use gauge sets designed for use with
R410A or R32.
Do not use standard R22 gauge sets..
WARNING
Fire Hazard
A2L refrigerant is classified as mildly
flammable. Do not install unit next open flame
sources, or surfaces that will exceed
1200 degrees fahrenheit.
