SETTING THE UNIT – Clearances
See
NOTES
NOTICE: Specific applications may require adjustment of the listed installation clearances to provide protection for
the unit from physical damage or to avoid conditions which limit operating efficiency. (Example: Clearances may
have to be increased to prevent snow or ice from falling on the top of the unit. Additional clearances may also be
required to prevent air recirculation when the unit is installed under a deck or in another tight space.)
