OPERATING YOUR UNIT

The operation of your unit is controlled by the indoor temperature

control (thermostat). You simply adjust the thermostat and it

maintains the indoor temperature at the level you select. Most

thermostats of heating and cooling systems have 3 controls: a

temperature control selector, a FAN control, and a SYSTEM or

MODE control. Refer to your thermostat owner’s manual for more

information.

To better protect your investment and to eliminate unnecessary

service calls, familiarize yourself with the following facts:

Cooling Mode

With the SYSTEM control set to COOL, your unit will run in

cooling mode until the indoor temperature is lowered to the level

you have selected. On extremely hot days, your unit will run for

longer periods at a time and have shorter “off” periods than on

moderate days.

Gas Heat Mode

With the SYSTEM or MODE control of your indoor thermostat set

to HEAT, your unit will run in heating mode until room

temperature is raised to the level you have selected. On cold days

and nights, your system will typically run for longer periods of

time and have shorter “off” periods than on moderate days.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

This section discusses maintenance that should be performed on

your system. Most maintenance should be performed by your

dealer. You, as the owner, may wish to handle some minor

maintenance for your new unit.

Routine Maintenance

All routine maintenance should be handled by skilled, experienced

personnel. Your dealer can help you establish a standard procedure.

For your safety, keep the unit area clear and free of combustible

materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids and vapors.

To assure proper functioning of the unit, flow of condenser air

must not be obstructed from reaching the unit. Clearance from the

top of the unit is 48 in. (1219 mm). Clearance of at least 36 in.

(914 mm) is required on sides except the power entry side (42 in.

(1067 mm) clearance) and the duct side (12 in. (305 mm)

minimum clearance). Also, ensure that the return--air duct

connection (s) is physically sound, is sealed to the furnace casing,

and terminates outside the space containing the furnace.

Maintenance and Care for the Equipment Owner

Before performing equipment maintenance yourself, please

carefully consider the following:

FIRE, EXPLOSION, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND

CUT HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal

injury, death or property damage.

1. Turn off gas supply first, then all electrical power to your

unit and install lock --out tag before servicing or per-

forming maintenance.

2. When removing access panels or performing

maintenance functions inside your unit, be aware of

sharp sheet metal parts and screws. Although special care

is taken to reduce sharp edges to a minimum, be

extremely careful when handling parts or reaching into

the unit. Wear safety glasses, gloves, and appropriate

protective clothing.

WARNING

Air Filters

The air filter(s) should be checked every 3 or 4 weeks and

changed or cleaned whenever it becomes dirty. Dirty filters

produce excessive stress on the blower motor and can cause the

motor to overheat and shut down.

This unit must have air filters in place before it can be operated.

These filters can be located in one of at least two places. In many

applications, the installer will provide return air filter grilles

mounted on the wall or ceiling of the conditioned structure. In the

instance of filter grilles, the filters can simply be removed from the

grille and replaced.

The other typical application is an accessory filter rack installed

inside the unit itself. The following information is given to assist in

changing filters used in these internal filter racks.

Table 1 indicates the correct indoor filter size for your unit. Refer

to Fig. 3 to access filters installed in the accessory filter rack. If

using an Accessory Filter Rack, refer to the Installation Instructions

provided with it for correct filter sizes and quantities.

Removed

To replace or inspect filters in accessory filter rack (See Fig. 3):

1. Remove the filter access panel using a 5/16--in. nut driver.

2. Remove the filter(s) by pulling it out of the unit. If the

filter(s) is dirty, clean or replace with a new one.

When installing the new filter(s), note the direction of the airflow

arrows on the filter frame.

If you have difficulty locating your air filter(s) or have questions

concerning proper filter maintenance, contact your dealer for

instructions. When replacing filters, always use the same size and

type of filter that was supplied originally by the installer.

UNIT OPERATION HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in property

damage.

Never operate your unit without filters in place. An

accumulation of dust and lint on internal parts of your unit

can cause loss of efficiency and blower motor and/or

compressor damage.
