MAINTAINING YOUR UNIT

All maintenance should be handled by skilled, experienced personnel. Your dealer can help you establish a standard procedure.

For your safety, keep the area around the unit clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable liq- uids and vapors.

To assure proper functioning of the unit, flow of combustion and ventilating air must not be obstructed from reaching the unit. Clearance of at least 4 ft on all sides is required.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND CARE

FOR THE EQUIPMENT OWNER

Before proceeding with those things you might want to maintain yourself, please carefully consider the following:

1.TURN OFF GAS SUPPLY AND ELECTRICAL POWER TO YOUR UNIT BEFORE SERVICING OR PERFORMING MAINTENANCE.

2.Do not turn off electrical power to this unit without first turning off the gas supply.

3.When removing access doors or performing mainte- nance functions inside your unit, be aware of sharp sheet metal parts and screws. Although special care has been taken to reduce sharp edges to a minimum, be extremely careful when handling parts or reaching into the unit.

Air Filters — Air filters should be checked at least every 3 or 4 weeks and changed or cleaned whenever they become dirty. Table 1 indicates the correct filter size for your unit. Re- move the filter access panel to replace or inspect the filters. All units have filter tracks into which the filters slide. Remove the filters by pulling outward from the track. See Fig. 4 for filter access panel location. Note the direction of flow arrows on the filter frame.

For horizontal supply/return units, the size, location and number of air filters varies from Table 1. If you have difficulty in locating your air filter in the return-air duct system, or if you have questions concerning proper filter maintenance, contact your dealer for instructions. When replacing your unit filters, always use the same size and type of filter that was originally supplied by the installer.

Units with outdoor air capability have a cleanable filter for the outdoor air. This filter should be checked annually and cleaned as necessary. Remove by removing screws in outdoor air filter retainer and sliding filters out of the unit.

Never operate your unit without filters in place. Failure to heed this warning may result in damage to the blower motor and/or compressor. An accumulation of dust and lint on internal parts of your unit can cause loss of efficiency and in some cases, fire.
