CARE OF FAN MOTORS

Some fan motors are provided with lubrication ports. Inspect your indoor and outdoor units to determine whether or not lubrication ports are provided. The fan motor is shipped with an oil sup- ply which will last for several years under normal operating conditions. After this time, each motor bearing should be oiled with 10 - 15 drops (approximately 1/4 teaspoon) of SAE 20 non-detergent electric motor oil or auto- mobile oil. DO NOT use definite pur- pose oils such as sewing machine, cleaning, rust preventative, cutting, household, etc.

SERVICE CALLS

There are a few instances where the user can avoid unnecessary service calls. If unit stops functioning properly check the following items before calling your YORK servicing dealer:

1. Indoor section for dirty filter.

2.Outdoor section for leaf or debris blockage. Eliminate problem, turn off the thermostat for 10 seconds and attempt start. Wait 5 minutes. If system does not start, call your YORK servicing dealer.

Your system contains environmen- tally friendly refrigerant R410A, which operates at very high pres- sures. You may be in danger if you try to make an attempt to repair your unit. Please contact your local York dealer.

FILTER CARE

Inspect the air filter(s) at least once a month. If they are dirty, wash reusable filters with a mild detergent per manu- facturer’s recommendations. Replace disposable filters with new filters. Install the clean filters with “air flow” arrow in the same direction as the air flow in your duct. Filters should be clean to assure maximum efficiency and ade-quate air circulation.

CLEARANCES

The minimum clearances shown below must be maintained should any patio or yard improvements be done around the outdoor unit.

PARTS INFORMATION

Replacement parts are available from local YORK contractor/dealer or the nearest YORK distribution center.

COMFORT ASSURANCE

Special warranty packages (called Comfort Assurance) are available thru your contractor. These packages reduce the potential cost of service calls following the first year of operation on your cooling (or heating/cooling) sys- tem.

SOME EFFICIENCY

DO’S & DON’TS

DON’T heat or cool unused household area. Reduce supply and return air flow to a minimum in areas which are not liv- ing spaces (storage rooms, garages, basements, etc).

DON’T be a “thermostat jiggler”. Moving your thermostat setting will not make your system heat or cool any faster. Adjust your thermostat to a comfortable setting and leave it there.

DON’T restrict air circulation. Placing furniture, rugs, etc. in such a way that they interfere with air vents will make you system work harder to achieve a comfortable temperature level. This

requires more energy, which means greater cost to you.

DON’T heat or cool when you are away. If you are going to be away for a day or more, re-adjust your thermostat accord- ingly. Your furniture is far less demand- ing than you are when it comes to comfort levels. However, don’t expect the system to restore comfort conditions immediately upon returning home. It will take a little time.

DON’T locate lamps or other heat-pro- ducing appliances (radios, TV’s, heat- ers, etc.) near your thermostat. The heat from these items will give your thermostat “false information” about the tem-perature in the room.

DO select a comfortable thermostat set- ting, but keep in mind that moderation in temperature selection will save energy.

DO turn on your kitchen exhaust fan when cooking and your bathroom ex- haust fan when showering. Also, make sure your clothes dryer is properly vented. If these items are neglected, an excess heat and humidity condition may be created, causing your air condition- ing system to run longer.

DO set your thermostat a few degrees lower than normal several hours before entertaining a large group of people in a relatively small area. People give off a considerable amount of heat and mois- ture in a closed area.

DO keep drapes and venetian blinds closed when practical. These items pro- vide insulation against heat loss/gain.

DO contact a qualified service person to make repairs or adjustments to your system. He has been trained to perform this service.
