IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The following symbols and labels are used throughout this
manual to indicate immediate or potential safety hazards.
It is the owner's and installer's responsibility to read
and comply with all safety information and instructions
accompanying these symbols. Failure to heed safety
information increases the risk of personal injury, property
damage, and/or product damage.
NOTE: This equipment is approved to use only with R-32
refrigerant.
High Voltage!
Disconnect all power before servicing or
installing this unit. Multiple power sources may
be present. Failure to do so may cause property
damage, personal injury or death.
Do not bypass safety devices.
Scroll equipped units should never be used to evacuate
the air conditioning system. Vacuums this low can cause
internal electrical arcing resulting in a damaged or failed
compressor.
Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process
or to clean, other than those recommended by the
manufacturer. The appliance shall be stored in a room
without continuously operating ignition sources. For
example: Open flames, an operating gas appliance or an
operating electric heater. Do not pierce or burn. Be aware
that refrigerants may not contain an odor.
Our continuing commitment to quality products may mean a change in specifications without notice.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Only personnel that have been trained to install, adjust,
service, maintenance or repair (hereinafter, "service")
the equipment specified in this manual should service the
equipment.
This equipment is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capacities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the equipment.
The manufacturer will not be responsible for any injury
or property damage arising from improper supervision,
service or service procedures. If you service this unit, you
assume responsibility for any injury or property damage
which may result. In addition, in jurisdictions that require
one or more licenses to service the equipment specified in
this manual, only licensed personnel should service the
equipment. Improper supervision, installation, adjustment,
servicing, maintenance or repair of the equipment specified
in this manual, or attempting to install, adjust, service
or repair the equipment specified in this manual without
proper supervision or training may result in product
damage, property damage, personal injury or death.
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
Special consideration must be given to location of the
condensing unit(s) in regard to structures, obstructions,
other units, and any/all other factors that may interfere
with air circulation. Where possible, the top of the unit
should be completely unobstructed; however, if vertical
conditions require placement beneath an obstruction there
should be a minimum of 60 inches between the top of
the unit and the obstruction(s). Ensure there is not a
potential for refrigerant to pool should a leak occur in the
unit. The specified dimensions meet requirements for air
circulation only. Consult all appropriate regulatory codes
prior to determining final clearances. Another important
consideration in selecting a location for the unit(s) is the
angle to obstructions. Either side adjacent the valves be
placed toward the structure provided the side away from
the structure maintains minimum service clearance. Corner
installations are strongly discouraged.
