NOTICE: Specific applications may require adjustment of the listed installation clearances to provide protection for
the unit from physical damage or to avoid conditions which limit operating efficiency. (Example: Clearances may
have to be increased to prevent snow or ice from falling on the top of the unit. Additional clearances may also be
