CONNECT POWER

1.If all the above items are correct, turn the power on at the main service panel.

2.Turn the unit power switch, on the front of the unit, to ON by pressing the top of the switch in.

SERVICING

WARNING:Risk of Electric Shock, can cause injury or death. Before servicing, switch power off at the service panel and lock the area to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the area cannot be locked, securely fasten

a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.

For ease of service, the unit can be removed from the case:

1.Remove the front case panel.

2.Unplug the power cord and disconnect the wall thermostat connections.

3.Raise the top duct by turning all four case top duct adjusting screws counterclockwise.

4.Remove the front and/or side case-to-unit grounding screw, if present.

5.Slide the unit out of the case.
