COIL CARE

Keep the outdoor unit free of foliage, grass clippings, leaves, paper, and any other material which could restrict the proper air flow in and out of the unit. The coil may be vacuumed to remove any debris from between the fins. If the coil becomes excessively dirty, turn the main disconnect switch to “Off” and wash the coil with your garden hose. Avoid getting water into the fan motor and control box. Flush dirt from base pan after cleaning the coil.

SERVICE CALLS

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

Your system contains environmentally friendly refrigerant R- 410A, which operates at high pressures. You may be in dan- ger if you try to make an attempt to repair your unit. Please contact your local 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 manufacturer’s recommenda- tions. 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 adequate air circulation.

CLEARANCES

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

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 living 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 your 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 accordingly. Your furniture is far less demanding than you are when it comes to comfort levels. How- ever, 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-producing appliances (radios, TV’s, heaters, etc.) near your thermostat. The heat from these items will give your thermostat “false information” about the temperature in the room.

DO select a comfortable thermostat setting, but keep in mind that mod- eration in temperature selection will save energy.

DO turn on your kitchen exhaust fan when cooking and your bathroom exhaust 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 conditioning sys- tem 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 moisture in a closed area.

DO keep drapes and venetian blinds closed when practical. These items provide 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.
