Routine Maintenance

REPLACE OR CLEAN FILTER

IMPORTANT NOTE: Never operate unit without a filter installed as dust and lint will build up on internal parts resulting in loss of efficiency, equipment damage and possible fire.

An indoor air filter must be used with your comfort system. A properly maintained filter will keep the indoor coil of your comfort system clean. A dirty coil could cause poor operation and/or severe equipment damage.

Your air filter or filters could be located in your furnace, in a blower unit, or in “filter grilles” in your ceiling or walls. The installer of your air conditioner or heat pump can tell you where your filter(s) are, and how to clean or replace them.

Check your filter(s) at least once a month. When they are dirty, clean or replace them.

You may want to ask your dealer about high efficiency filters. High efficiency filters are available in both elec- tronic and non-electronic types. These filters can do a better job of catching small airborne particles.

CLEAN OUTSIDE COIL (QUALIFIED SERVICER ONLY)

WARNING

To avoid personal injury or death due to electrical shock, disconnect the electrical power before cleaning the coil(s).

Air must be able to flow through the outdoor unit of your comfort system. Do not construct a fence near the unit or build a deck or patio over the unit without first dis- cussing your plans with your dealer or other qualified servicer. Restricted airflow could lead to poor operation and/or severe equipment damage.

Likewise, it is important to keep the outdoor coil clean. Dirt, leaves, or debris could also restrict the airflow. If cleaning of the outdoor coil becomes necessary, hire a qualified servicer. Inexperienced people could easily puncture the copper tubing in the coil. Even a small hole in the tubing could eventually cause a large loss of refrigerant. Loss of refrigerant can cause poor operation and/or severe equipment damage.

Do not use a condensing unit cover to “protect” the outdoor unit during the winter, unless you first discuss it with your dealer. Any cover used must include “breath- able” fabric to avoid moisture buildup.

COMPRESSOR

The compressor motor is hermetically sealed and does not require additional oiling.

MOTORS

Indoor and outdoor fan motors are permanently lubri- cated and do not require addtional oiling.
