SECTION 3 - MAINTENANCE
3.1 Cleaning Equipment
Clean and polish heat pump frequently to prevent damage to equipment. More frequent service is required
for heat pumps located in sandy or coastal areas where sand and salt spray can become detrimental
factors to equipment.
WARNING - Failure to heed the following may result in injury or death.
Possible electric shock hazard - Disconnect power to all electrical devices on pad
when washing heat pump. Do not restore electrical power until equipment is
completely dry.
CAUTION - Failure to heed the following may result in equipment damage.
Do not use a pressure cleaner to wash heat pump. Damage to heat pump
components will result. If using a hose-end spray nozzle adjust spray pattern to low
strength only.
CAUTION - Failure to heed the following may result in equipment damage.
Do not spray water directly into interior of heat pump; damage to components is
likely.

4) Flush all exterior with fresh water using a low-pressure water hose.
5) Dry exterior cabinet using a soft cloth.
