IMPROPER INSTALLATION BY AN UNQUALIFIED INSTALLER
If you do not have some electrical knowledge and knowledge of
local electrical codes or are not comfortable installing cables
yourself, use a qualified installer including a licensed technician
and electrician. Qualified installers have knowledge and
experience in installing electrical equipment, knowledge of the
applicable installation codes, and awareness of the hazards
involved in performing electrical work and how to reduce those
hazards.
Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or
