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. 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.

Maintenance and Care for the Equipment Owner

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 the 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

When installing the new filters, note the direction of the airflow arrows on the filter frame, which should be pointing at the indoor coil.
•  Reinstall filter access door ensuring opening is air and water tight.

Condensate Drain

The drain pan and condensate drain line should be checked and cleaned at the same time the cooling coils are checked by your dealer.

Indoor and Outdoor Coils

Cleaning of the coils should only be done by qualified service personnel. Contact your dealer for the required annual maintenance.

Electrical Controls and Wiring

Electrical controls are difficult to check without proper instrumentation. If there are any discrepancies in the operating cycle, contact your local dealer and request service. Fans and Fan MotorsPeriodically check the condition of fan wheels and housings and fanmotor shaft bearings. Contact your dealer for the required annual maintenance.CompressorAll compressors are factory shipped with a normal charge of the correcttype of refrigeration grade oil. A compressor should rarely require additional oil.

Condenser (Outdoor) Fan

The fan must be kept free of all obstructions to ensure proper cooling. Contact your dealer for any required service. Combustion Air Openings and Flue/Vent HoodFor proper and safe operation, the furnace needs air for combustion and ventilation. The air openings, on the furnace, the air openings to the area in where the furnace is installed, and the spacing around the furnace must not be blocked or obstructed.The combustion area and flue/vent hood should be inspected visuallybefore each heating season (see Fig. 3). The normal accumulation of dirt,soot, rust, and scale can result in loss of efficiency and improperperformance if allowed to build up. This inspection should be done by atrained service person.

Refrigerant Circuit

The refrigerant circuit is difficult to check for leaks without the proper equipment. If inadequate cooling is suspected, contact your local dealer for service.

Unit Panels

• After performing any maintenance or service on the unit, be sure all panels are fastened securely in place to prevent rain from entering unit cabinet and to prevent disruption of the correct unit airflow pattern.
• Regular Dealer Warranty Certificate
• Your unit has a limited warranty. Be sure to read the warranty carefully to determine the coverage for your unit.
• Before you call for service check for several easily-solved problems. If insufficient heating or cooling is suspected:
• Check for sufficient airflow. Check the air filter for dirt. Check for blocked return-air or supply-air grilles. Be sure they are open and unobstructed. If these checks do not reveal the cause, call your servicing dealer.

If your unit is not operating at all, check the following list for easy solutions:

•  Check to be sure that your thermostat temperature selector is set below the indoor temperature during the cooling season or above the indoor temperature during heating season. Be sure the SYSTEM switch or MODE control is in the COOL or HEAT position and not in the OFF position.
•  If your unit still fails to operate, call your servicing dealer for troubleshooting and repairs. Specify the model and serial numbers of your unit. (Record them in this manual in the space provided.) If the dealer knows exactly which unit you have, he may be able to offer suggestions over the phone, or save valuable time through knowledgeable preparation for the service call.

In Case of Trouble
If you perform the steps above and unit performance is still unsatisfactory, shut off the unit and call your dealer.
