    MAINTENANCE WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK MAKE SURE THE UNIT IS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM POWER SOURCE. A. T&P / RELIEF VALVE The relief valve is an important safety feature and must be checked at least once a year. You may lift the lever handle to release water from the unit and ensure that the valve is operating normally.
  • Page 17 MAINTENANCE E. CONDENSATE DRAIN TUBE The unit is equipped with two condensate water drains – a primary drain and an overflow drain. A monthly check is recommended to ensure that these drains are not blocked. Blockage at the primary condensate water will trigger an alarm and shut the heat pump off.
