OPERATING YOUR UNIT

The operation of your unit is controlled by the indoor temperature control (thermostat). You simply adjust the thermostat and it maintains the indoor temperature at the level you select. Most thermostats of heating and cooling systems have 3 controls: a temperature control selector, a FAN control, and a SYSTEM or MODE control. Refer to your thermostat owner’s manual for more information.

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

1.During heat pump heating, increasing the thermostat setting more than 2_F (1.1_C) may cause the supplemental gas heat to be turned on for a short period of time to satisfy the thermostat. Needless use of the supplementary heat reduces potential energy savings.

2.Ice or frost tends to form on the coil during winter heating operation. Your heat pump is designed to automatically melt the ice. When in this defrost cycle, it is normal for steam or fog to rise from the outdoor unit. Do not be alarmed!

Cooling Mode

With the SYSTEM control set to COOL, your unit will run in cooling 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.

Heat Pump Heating Mode

With the SYSTEM or MODE control of your indoor thermostat set to HEAT, your unit will run in heat pump heating mode until room temperature is raised to the level you have selected. Of course, your system will run for longer periods to maintain a comfortable environment on cooler days and nights than on moderate ones.

Gas Heat Mode

Your heat pump is your primary heating source. Your system is also equipped with a supplemental gas heating source. On cold days and nights, your system will automatically turn on the supplemental heat in order to maintain the level of comfort you have selected.

When your heat pump needs additional heat to keep you comfortable, your thermostat will turn on the supplemental gas

heat.
