SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installation and servicing of air-conditioning equipment
can be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical com-
ponents. Only trained and qualified personnel should
install, repair, or service air-conditioning equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance func-
tions of cleaning coils and filters. All other operations should
be performed by trained service personnel. When working
on air-conditioning equipment, observe precautions in the
literature, tags and labels attached to the unit, and other safety
precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
Use quenching cloth for unbrazing operations. Have fire ex-
tinguisher available for all brazing operations.
Understand the signal words — DANGER, WARNING,
and CAUTION. Danger identifies the most serious hazards
which will result in severe personal injury or death. Warning
indicates a condition that could result in personal injury. Cau-
tion is used to identify unsafe practices which would result
in minor personal injury or product property damage.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, main-
tenance, or use can cause carbon monoxide poisoning,
fire, or an explosion which can result in personal injury
or unit damage. Consult a qualified installer, service agency,
or gas supplier for information or assistance. The quali-
fied installer or agency must use only factory-authorized
kits or accessories when modifying this product.
Before performing service or maintenance operations on
unit, turn off gas supply then unit main power switch.
Electrical shock could cause personal injury.
