product. Corrosion, particularly on the
condenser and evaporator fins, could
cause product malfunction or inefficient
performance.

contact with snow directly. If snow piles up
and freezes on the air suction hole, the
system may malfunction. If it is installed at
snowy area, attach the hood to the system.
