NOTICE !
Roof Damage!
This system contains both refrigerant and oil. Some
rubber roofing material may absorb oil, causing the
rubber to degrade. Failure to follow this notice could
result in damage to roof surface.
IMPORTANT !
Exhaust vents from dryers, water heaters and
furnaces should be directed away from the outdoor
unit. Prolonged exposure to exhaust gases and the
chemicals contained within them may cause
condensation to form on the steel cabinet and other
metal components of the outdoor unit. This will
diminish unit performance and longevity.
PLACEMENT
TWO 90° ELBOWS INSTALLED IN LINE SET
WILL REDUCE LINE SET VIBRATION.
Install unit away from windows.
