WARNING For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric
shock, or personal injury.
• Use this equipment only for its intended purpose as
described in this manual.
• This heat pump must be properly installed in accordance
with these instructions before it is used.
• All wiring should be rated for the amperage value listed on
the rating plate. Use only copper wiring.
• All electrical work must be completed by a qualified
electrician and completed in accordance with local and
national building codes.
• Any servicing must be performed by a qualified individual.
• All air conditioners contain refrigerants, which under
federal law must be removed prior to product disposal.
If you are getting rid of an old product with refrigerants,
check with the company handling disposal.
• These R-410A heat pumps systems require that
contractors and technicians use tools, equipment and
safety standards approved for use with this refrigerant.
DO NOT use equipment certified for R22 refrigerant only.
WARNING RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Could cause injury or death.
• An adequate ground is essential before connecting the
power supply.
• Disconnect all connected electric power supplies before
servicing.
• Repair or replace immediately all electrical wiring that has
become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use wiring
that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or
at either end.
WARNING
This unit is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge. Children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
To avoid danger of suffocation, keep the plastic bag or
thin film used as the packaging material away from young
children.
Be sure not to allow foreign materials to enter the
refrigerant piping. Seal the ends of refrigerant piping before
storage.
For installation purposes, be sure to use the parts supplied
by the manufacturer or other prescribed parts. The use of
non-prescribed parts can cause serious accidents such as
the unit falling, water leakage, electric shock, or fire.
The rated power supply of this product is 208/230
VAC/60hz/1PH. Verify the voltage is within 187~253 range
before turning the equipment on.
Supply power to the heat pump should be from a dedicated
circuit that meets branch circuit ampacity requirements.
Use a special branch circuit breaker and receptacle matched
to the power circuit capacity of the heat pump. Install in
accordance with national, state, and local code.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE. Could cause injury or death.
• Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
For any service which requires entry into the
refrigerant sealed system, Federal regulations require
that the work is performed by a technician having a
Class II or Universal certification.

FOR MORE HELP, VISIT HAIERAPPLIANCES.COM OR CALL THE CONSUMER HELP LINE AT 877-337-3639.
It is highly recommended that you do not open or close the
service valves when the outdoor temperature is below -5°F
(-21°C), as this may cause refrigerant leakage.
Do not touch the fins of the coil. Touching the coil fins could
result in damage to the fins or personal injury.
Ensure the power circuit capacity is adequate for all loads
connected to the electrical service panel. Increase the
conductor and panel capacity if the total electrical loads
exceed the power source capacity.
Contact the power utility if the power provided is below
equipment rating plate requirements.
Be sure to install a breaker of the specified capacity.
Refer to local requirements regarding type and kind of
breaker, power wiring, and control cable.
Regulation of cables and breaker differs from each locality.
Be aware of these regulations prior to installation.
Do not use existing refrigerant lines.
Use refrigerant tubing that is clean and free of any
contamination which may cause damage to the system,
including sulfur, copper oxide, dust, metal chips, powder, oil,
or water.
Avoid coupling lines whenever possible. Use a continuous
length of copper tubing, as oxides formed during improper
brazing techniques can damage the equipment.
Do not use copper pipes that have a collapsed, deformed,
or discolored portion (especially on the interior surface).
Otherwise, the expansion valve or capillary tube may
become blocked with contaminants.
Improper line sizing will degrade performance. Peak
pressure of R410A is much higher than R22. Use ACR
copper tubing with adequate wall thickness.
Use a tubing bender to change piping direction. Make sure
the radius of the bend is no less than 4”.
If the pipe is bent repeatedly at the same place, it will break.
