Important Note to the Owner Regarding

Product Warranty

Your warranty certificate is supplied as a separate document with

the unit installed by your contractor. Read the limited warranty

certificate carefully to determine what is and is not covered. Keep

the warranty certificate in a safe place. If you are unable to locate

the warranty certificate, please contact your installing contractor,

or contact customer service at 1-866-944-7575 to obtain a copy.

To receive the 10-Year Parts Limited Warranty, online registration

must be completed within 60 days of installation. Online

registration is not required in California or Quebec.

Product limited warranty certificates for models currently in

production can be viewed at www.whirlpoolhvac.com. If your

model is not currently in production or does not appear on the

website, please contact your installing contractor or contact

customer service at 1-866-944-7575 to obtain a copy of your

warranty certificate.

Here to Register Your Product link located at the top center of the

page, and complete the forms in the manner indicated.

Shipping Inspection

Always keep the unit upright; laying the unit on its side or top

may cause equipment damage. Shipping damage and

subsequent investigation is the responsibility of the carrier. Verify

the model number, specifications, electrical characteristics and

accessories are correct prior to installation. The distributor or

manufacturer will not accept claims from dealers for

transportation damage or installation of incorrectly shipped units.

Codes and Regulations

This product is designed and manufactured to comply with

national codes. Installation in accordance with such codes and/

or prevailing local codes/regulations is the responsibility of the

installer. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for

equipment installed in violation of any codes or regulations.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has

issued various regulations regarding the introduction and

disposal of refrigerants. Failure to follow these regulations may

harm the environment and can lead to the imposition of

substantial fines. Should you have any questions please contact

the local office of the EPA.

If replacing a condensing unit or air handler, the system must be

manufacturer-approved and Air Conditioning, Heating and

Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) matched.

NOTE: Installation of unmatched systems is not allowed.

Operating the unit in a structure that is not complete (either as

part of new construction or renovation) will void the warranty.

Installation Clearances

Special consideration must be given to the location of the heat

pump(s) in regard to structures, obstructions, other units and

any/all other factors that may interfere with air circulation. Where

possible, the top of the unit should be completely unobstructed;

however, if vertical conditions require placement beneath an

obstruction, there should be a minimum of 60" (152 cm) between

the top of the unit and the obstruction(s). The specified

dimensions meet requirements for air circulation only. Consult all

appropriate regulatory codes prior to determining final

clearances.

Another important consideration in selecting a location for the

unit(s) is the angle to obstructions. Either side adjacent the valves

can be placed toward the structure provided the side away from

the structure maintains minimum service clearance.

NOTE: Corner installations are strongly discouraged.

This unit can be located at the ground floor level or on flat roofs.

At ground floor level, the unit must be on a solid, level foundation

that will not shift or settle. To reduce the possibility of sound

transmission, the foundation slab should not be in contact with or

be an integral part of the building foundation. Ensure the

foundation is sufficient to support the unit. A concrete slab raised

above ground level provides a suitable base.

Rooftop Installations

If it is necessary to install this unit on a roof structure, ensure the

roof structure can support the weight and that proper

consideration is given to the weather-tight integrity of the roof.

Since the unit can vibrate during operation, sound vibration

transmission should be considered when installing the unit.

Vibration absorbing pads or springs can be installed between the

unit legs or frame and the roof mounting assembly to reduce

noise vibration.

NOTE: These units require special location consideration in areas

of heavy snow accumulation and/or areas with prolonged

continuous subfreezing temperatures. Heat pump unit bases

have cutouts under the outdoor coil that permit drainage of frost

accumulation. Situate the unit to permit free unobstructed

drainage of the defrost water and ice. In more severe weather

locations, it is recommended that the unit be elevated to allow

unobstructed drainage and airflow.

The following elevation minimums are recommended:
