product information.
These instructions are intended as a general guide and
do not supersede local or national codes in any way.
Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before
installation.
The MCFA and MCFB Ceiling/Floor indoor units are
matched with an outdoor heat pump unit to create a mini-
split system that uses HFC-410A refrigerant.
