!WARNING
FIRE, EXPLOSION, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND CUT HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death or property damage.
1.TURN OFF ELECTRICAL POWER TO YOUR UNIT BEFORE SERVICING OR PERFORMING MAINTENANCE.
2.When removing access panels or performing 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 minimum, be extremely careful when handling parts or reaching into the unit.
Air Filters
The air filter(s) should be checked at least every 3 months and changed or cleaned whenever it becomes dirty. Dirty filters produce excessive stress on the blower motor and can cause the motor to overheat and shut down.
This unit must have an air filter in place before it can be operated. These filters should be located in at least one of two places. In many applications, 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 replaced.
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 filter size for your unit.
