Special Notes to Installer

✱ It is the sole responsibility of the

installer to determine, prior to the

installation, the requirements necessary

for compliance with all codes involving

the unit or the installation!

and any associated options or accesso-

ries should be saved and presented to

the home owner upon completion of

the installation!

✱ HANDLE THE UNIT BY THE SHELL ONLY!

Never lift any unit by attachments or

piping on the shell.

✱ All published unit dimensions are for

reference only. Any critical dimensions

required for installation should be taken

directly from the unit being installed!

✱ Any independent changes made to

the unit (or options and accessories

supplied with the unit) beyond those

required for normal installation can void

all warranties! (Refer to warranties for
