OPERATINGYOURUNIT Theoperationofyourunitiscontrolledbythe indoor temperature
control (thermostat). You simply adjust the thermostat and it main-
tains the indoor temperature at the level you select. Most thermostats
of heating and cooling systems have 3 controls: a temperature con- trol selector, a FAN control, and a SYSTEM or MODE control. Re-
fer to your thermostat owner's manual for more information.
To better protect your investment and to eliminate unnecessary ser- vice calls, familiarize yourself with the following facts:
Cooling Mode
With the SYSTEM control set to COOL, your unit will run in cool-
ing mode until the indoor temperature is lowered to the level you have selected. On extremely hot days, your unit will run for longer periods at a time and have shorter "off' periods than on moderate days.
Gas Heat Mode
With the SYSTEM or MODE control of your indoor thermostat set to HEAT, your unit will run in heating mode until room temperature is raised to the level you have selected. On cold days and nights, your system will typically run for longer periods of time and have shorter "off' periods than on moderate days.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
This section discusses maintenance that should be performed on your system. Most maintenance should be performed by your deal- er. You, as the owner, may wish to handle some nfinor maintenance for your new unit.
Routine Maintenance
All routine maintenance should be handled by skilled, experienced personnel. Your dealer can help you establish a standard procedure.
For your safety, keep the unit area clear and free of combustible ma- terials, gasoline, and other flamnaable liquids and vapors.
To assure proper functioning of the unit, flow of condenser air must not be obstructed from reaching the unit. Clearance from the top of the unit is 48 in. (1219 ram). Clearance of at least 36 in. (914 ram) is required on sides except the power entry side (42 in. (1067 ram) clearance) and the duct side (12 in. (305 ram) nfininmm clearance). Also, ensure that the
Maintenance and Care for the Equipment Owner
Before perfornfing equipment maintenance yourself, please care-
fully consider the following:
FIRE, EXPLOSION, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND CUT HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death or property damage.
1.Turn off gas supply first, then all electrical power to your unit and install
2.When removing access panels or perfornfing maintenance functions inside your unit, be aware of sharp sheet metal parts and screws. Although special care is taken to reduce sharp edges to a nfininmm, be extremely careful when handling parts or reaching into the unit. Wear safety glasses, gloves, and appropriate protective clothing.
Air Filters
The air filter(s) should be checked every 3 or 4 weeks and changed or cleaned whenever it becomes dirty. Dirty filters produce exces-
sive stress on the blower motor and can cause the motor to overheat and shut down.
This unit nmst have air filters in place before it can be operated. These filters can be located in one of at least two places. In many ap- plications, the installer will provide return air filter grilles mounted on the wall or ceiling of the conditioned structure. In the instance of filter grilles, the filters can simply be removed from the grille and re- placed.
The other typical application is an accessory filter rack installed in- side the unit itself. The following information is given to assist in changing filters used in these internal filter racks.
Table 1 indicates the correct indoor filter size for your unit. Refer to Fig. 2 to access filters installed in the accessory filter rack. If using an Accessory Filter Rack, refer to the Installation Instructions pro- vided with it for correct filter sizes and quantities.
