!WARNING
Always check wiring harness connections before initiating any test procedures.
Disconnect electric power from the appliance before performing any maintenance or
repairs.
Voltage checks should be made by inserting meter probes beside the wires in the
connector blocks with the electric power source on and the connector block plugged in.
Resistance checks should be made on components with the electric power o and the
connector block disconnected.
HZD Units
Select a place to mount the unit where the exhaust airow is unobstructed for a minimum of 6 inches. The area
into which the unit exhausts must be well ventilated. If it is not, heat exhausted by the unit will build up and
the unit will not operate properly. The ambient temperatures shall not be higher than 90°F or lower than 50°F.
Additionally, cold air from the front opening must remain unobstructed. The unit should be mounted near the
ceiling and as close to equal distance from each end of the wall as possible.

the room. Concrete, rock, and brick are not insulation or vapor barriers.
