1.0 SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

PROPOSITION 65: This appliance contains fiberglass insulation. Respirable

particles of fiberglass are known to the State of California to cause cancer.

All manufacturer products meet current Federal OSHA Guidelines for safety.

California Proposition 65 warnings are required for certain products, which are

not covered by the OSHA standards.

California's Proposition 65 requires warnings for products sold in California

that contain or produce any of over 600 listed chemicals known to the State of

California to cause cancer or birth defects such as fiberglass insulation, lead in

brass, and combustion products from natural gas.

All “new equipment” shipped for sale in California will have labels stating that

the product contains and/or produces Proposition 65 chemicals. Although we

have not changed our processes, having the same label on all our products

facilitates manufacturing and shipping. We cannot always know “when, or if”

products will be sold in the California market.

You may receive inquiries from customers about chemicals found in, or pro-

duced by, some of our heating and air-conditioning equipment, or found in nat-

ural gas used with some of our products. Listed below are those chemicals

and substances commonly associated with similar equipment in our industry

and other manufacturers.

• Glass Wool (Fiberglass) Insulation

• Carbon Monoxide (CO).

• Formaldehyde

• Benzene

More details are available at the websites for OSHA (Occupational Safety and

Health Administration), at www.osha.gov

and the State of California’s OEHHA

(Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment), at www.oehha.org

.

Consumer education is important since the chemicals and substances on the

list are found in our daily lives. Most consumers are aware that products pres-

ent safety and health risks, when improperly used, handled and maintained.

WARNING

These instructions are intended as an aid to qualified licensed service person-

nel for proper installation, adjustment and operation of this unit. Read these

instructions thoroughly before attempting installation or operation. Failure to

follow these instructions may result in improper installation, adjustment, serv-

ice or maintenance possibly resulting in fire, electrical shock, property dam-

age, personal injury or death.

CAUTION

For horizontal applications, the horizontal drain pan must be located under the

indoor coil. Failure to place the pan under the coil can result in property dam-

age.

CAUTION

It is recommended that an auxiliary/secondary drain pan be installed under units

containing evaporator coils that are located in any area of a structure where

damage to the building or building contents may occur as a result of an overflow

of the coil drain pan or a stoppage in the primary condensate drain piping.
