ABOUT YOUR HEAT PUMP SYSTEM Identifying Your System

Your new Bryant heat pump system is what we call a ”split system.” It has an outdoor unit and an indoor unit connected to each other with copper tubing called refrigerant lines. Each of these units has a rating plate with the model and serial numbers you will need to reference when calling an authorized Bryant dealer about your system.

Take a few moments now to locate those numbers and record them in the spaces provided on the cover of this booklet.

Your Bryant heat pump system is controlled by a wall-mounted Evolution Control installed inside your home. This system requires an Evolution Control which has software designed specifically to operate this system. See the Evolution Control Homeowner Guide for more details on system operation.

EVOLUTION EXTREME VARIABLE SPEED OPERATION

You may notice your system runs for longer periods of time. This system is designed to meet cooling or heating needs of the home at a wide range of conditions. Your indoor temperature will remain more consistent with fewer drafts, better humidity control, enhanced comfort and enhanced energy efficiency.

HEATING AND COOLING YOUR HOME

For heating or cooling operation, make sure the System or Mode control is set to the appropriate mode. Then, adjust the Temperature control to your desired setting. Finally, use the Fan control to select Automatic (turns on and off as heating is needed) or On (runs continuously).

Depending on your typical heating needs, your home comfort system may also include a supplementary heating source that will automatically turn on as needed. You may also select this heat source manually if desired.

OPERATION UNDER EXTREME

CONDITIONS

Your heat pump will run as long as necessary to maintain the indoor temperature selected on your Evolution Control. On extremely hot days, your heat pump will run for longer periods at a time than on moderate days. Your system will also run for longer periods of time under the following conditions:

SFrequent opening of exterior doors S Operating laundry appliances

S Taking hot showers

S More than the usual number of people present in the home S More than the normal number of electric lights in use

S Drapes or blinds are open on the sunny side of the home

IMPORTANT HEAT PUMP FACTS

Heat pump systems have a few unique features and operations that you should be aware of:

SDuring the heating cycle, your heat pump delivers a constant flow of air at around 95° to about 105° F, compared to sudden blasts of hot air provided by a typical furnace.

SIce or frost may form on the outdoor coil during winter heating operation. Your heat pump will automatically melt the ice us- ing its defrost cycle. During defrost, you may see steam or fog rising from the outdoor unit, which is normal. At the beginning and end of the defrost cycle, you may hear a "whoosh" sound coming from the unit. This is normal for heat pump applications.

SHeat pumps installed in areas expecting snow are elevated with support feet.
