Identifying Your System

Take time to get to know the type of system you have. This will be helpful in understanding the basic operation of your new heat pump.

The type of heat pump you have pur- chased is a split system. The split-system type has an indoor and an outdoor unit, each of which contains a coil. These units are interconnected by refrigerant tubes. (See Fig. 1.)

Each unit has a rating plate affixed to it which provides necessary information for specific identification of a unit. You should familiarize yourself with the product, model, and serial numbers listed on each rating plate. Record them for future reference on the last page of this booklet.

IMPORTANT FACTS

To better protect your investment and to eliminate unnecessary service calls, famil- iarize yourself with the following facts:

•Keep Filter Clean

Your heat pump system should never be operated without a clean air filter prop- erly installed. Plan to inspect the filter once per month. A clogged air filter will increase operating costs and shorten the life of the unit.

•Do Not Block Registers

Supply-air and return-air registers should not be blocked. Drapes, furniture, and toys are some of the items commonly found obstructing registers. Restricted airflow lessens the unit’s efficiency and life span.

•Do Not Cover or Block Outdoor Unit

The outdoor unit must have unrestricted airflow. Do not cover the unit, lean anything against it, or stand upon it. Do not allow grass clippings, leaves, or other debris to accumulate around or on top of the unit. Maintain a 12-in. minimum clearance between the outdoor unit and tall grass, vines, shrubs, etc.

•Get to Know Your Thermostat Your multipurpose indoor thermostat is the control center for your heat pump system. You should familiarize yourself with its proper operation. (See Fig. 2 and 3.) Attempting to control the system by other means—for instance, switching the electrical supply power ON and OFF— may cause damage to the unit.

During heating, increasing the thermostat more than 2 degrees may cause the supplemental heaters to be turned on to satisfy the thermostat. Needless use of the supplementary heat reduces potential energy savings.

•Continuous Fan

You may find that you can maintain greater personal comfort by running the fan continuously. Air pockets can form due to the structure of the house, place- ment of registers, etc. These air pockets may be too cool or warm for your liking. Continuous fan operation minimizes any temperature differences.

•Air Cleaners and Humidifiers Systems equipped with electronic or mechanical air cleaners and/or humidi-

!WARNING

Improper installation, adjust- ment, alteration, service, main- tenance, or use can cause ex- plosion, fire, electrical shock, or other conditions which may cause personal injury or prop- erty damage. Consult a quali- fied installer, service agency, or your distributor or branch for information or assistance. The qualified installer or agency must use factory-authorized kits or accessories when modi- fying this product.
