CAUTION
1. Read all instructions before beginning installation.
2. The installation must conform to all applicable codes.
3. The fresh air duct from outside and to the house and the stale air duct from the unit to the outside must be fully insulated to
prevent condensation from forming on the duct work.
WARNING
1. Risk of property damage, injury or death. Installation, service, and maintenance must be performed by a qualified service
technician.
2. 120 Volts may cause serious injury from electric shock. Disconnect electrical power before starting installation or servicing.
