DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will result in severe per- sonal injury or death. WARNING signi- fies hazards that could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices which would result in minor personal injury or product and property damage.

!WARNING

Improper installation, adjust- ment, alteration, service, main- tenance or use can cause ex- plosion, fire, electrical shock, or other conditions which may cause personal injury or prop- erty damage. Consult a quali- fied installer, service agency or your distributor or branch for information or assistance.

YOUR COMFORT

SYSTEM

Identifying Your System

Take the time to get to know the type of system you have. This will be helpful in understanding the basic operation of your new air conditioner.

The split-system type has an indoor and an outdoor unit, each of which contains a coil. These units are interconnected by refrigerant tubes, as shown in Fig. 1.

Each unit has a rating plate affixed to it. A rating plate provides necessary information for specific identification

of a unit. You should familiarize yourself with the product, model, and serial numbers listed on each rating plate. Record them for future reference on the last page of this booklet.

IMPORTANT FACTS

To better protect your investment and to eliminate unnecessary service calls, famil- iarize yourself with the following facts:

•Keep Filter Clean

Your air conditioning system should never be operated without a clean air filter prop- erly installed. Plan to inspect the filter

periodically. A clogged air filter will increase operating costs and shorten the life of the unit.

•Do Not Block Registers

Supply-air and return-air registers should not be blocked. Drapes, furniture, and toys are some of the items commonly found obstructing registers. Restricted air- flow lessens the unit's efficiency and shortens its life span.

•Do Not Cover or Block Outdoor Unit

The outdoor unit must have unre- stricted airflow. Do not cover the unit, lean anything against it, or stand on it.

Do not allow grass clippings, leaves, or other debris to accumulate around or on top of the unit. Maintain a 12-in. minimum clearance between the outdoor unit and tall grass, vines, shrubs, etc.

•Get To Know Your Thermostat

Your multipurpose indoor thermostat is the control center for your air condition- ing system. You should familiarize your- self with its proper operation. Attempting to control the system by other means— for instance, switching the electrical supply power on and off—may damage the unit.

•Continuous Fan

You may find that you can maintain greater personal comfort by running the fan continuously. Air pockets can form due to the structure of the house, placement of registers, etc. These air pockets may be too cool or warm for your liking. Continuous fan operation minimizes any temperature differences.
