3. Liquids should not get into electrical parts. Wrap the fan motor, electrical
control box, and electricalterminals in plastic.This will keep water or
other liquid from getting insidewhere it could damage the insulationand
cause serious trouble.

lifting the unit. It isfor sliding the chassis WITHIN the cabinet shell only (to aid in
cleaning, maintenance, etc.).
