Maintenance and Care for the Equipment Owner

Before proceeding with those things you might want to maintain yourself, please carefully consider the following:

!WARNING

FIRE, EXPLOSION, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND CUT HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death or property damage.

1.TURN OFF ELECTRICAL POWER TO YOUR UNIT BEFORE SERVICING OR PERFORMING 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.

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 exces- sive 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.

Table 1—Indoor Air Filter Data

Unit Size	Filter Size
024--- 036	24x24x1 (610x610x25 mm)
042--- 060	30x30x1 (762x762x25 mm)

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.
