* Units are rated with 25 ft. (7.6 m) of lineset. See Product Data sheet for performance data when using different size and length linesets.

Notes:

1. Do not apply capillary tube or the fixed orifice indoor coils to these units.

2For Tubing Set lengths between 80 and 200 ft. (24.38 and 60.96 m) horizontal or 20 ft. (6.10 m) vertical differential (250 ft./76.2 m Total Equivalent Length), refer to the Residential Piping and Long Line Guideline for Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps using Puron® Refrigerant.

the environmentally sound refrigerant REGISTERED

This product has been designed and manufactured to meet Energy Star® criteria for energy efficiency when matched with appropriate coil components. However, proper refrigerant charge and proper air flow are critical to achieve rated capacity and efficiency. Installation of this product should follow all manufacturing refrigerant

charging and air flow instructions. Failure to confirm proper charge and air flow may reduce energy efficiency and shorten equipment life.

Ready for use in a Hybrid Heatr Duel Fuel system.
