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 (See Table 2)
Most routine maintenance should be handled by skilled, experienced personnel.

Clear Away Debris and Vegetation Near Unit
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.
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. When replacing filters, always
use the same size and type of filter that was supplied originally by the
installer.
Maintenance and Care for the Dealer
Filter in Unit
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.
Filter kits are available as a purchased accessory. The same filter kit is included with the accessory economizers and factory installed economizers.
To replace or inspect filters in accessory filter rack (See Fig. 2) :
- Remove the filter access panel using a 5/16-in. nut driver.
- 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 which should be pointing at the indoor coil.
- Reinstall filter access panel ensuring opening is air and water tight. 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. See Table 1 for filter sizes supplied with accessory filter rack
