cool in summer.

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Trane outdoor unit. Your outdoor unit is designed to work with a matched indoor unit creating a system that de- livers years of dependable service and performance.

Your system will cool, filter, and dehumidify the air in your home. Additionally, a heat pump heats the air in your home.

As the system circulates air, it also filters it. The system also extracts excess moisture from the home to help control humidity in muggy summer months.

Acquaint yourself with your new system by spending just a few minutes with this booklet. Learn about the operation of your system and the small amount of maintenance it takes to keep it operating at peak efficiency.

Proper maintenance for maximum efficiency

An outdoor unit is not a household appli- ance. It’s a self-contained system that re- quires professional maintenance and repair.

That’s why attempts at “do-it-yourself” repairs on an in-warranty unit may void the remainder of your warranty.

Other than performing the simple maintenance recommended in this man- ual, you should not attempt to make any adjustments to your system. Your dealer

will be able to take care of any questions or problems you may have.
