ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD!

Turn OFF electric power to unit before performing any maintenance or removing panels or doors.

FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.

Heat Pump Operation

Your new heat pump has several characteristics that you should be aware of:

!Heat pumps satisfy heating demand by delivering large amounts of warm air into the living space. This is quite different from gas-or oil-fired furnaces or an electric furnace which deliver lower volumes of considerably hotter air to heat the space.

!Do Not be alarmed if you notice frost on the outdoor coil in the winter months. Frost develops on the outdoor coil during the heating cycle when temperatures are below 45/F. An electronic control activates a defrost cycle lasting 5 to 15 minutes at preset intervals to clear the outdoor coil of the frost.

!During the defrost cycle, you may notice steam rising from the outdoor unit. This is a normal occurrence. The thermostat may engage auxiliary heat during the defrost cycle to satisfy a heating demand; however., the unit will run to normal operation at the conclusion of the defrost cycle.

In case of extended power outage...

If the outdoor temperature is below 50/F and power to your outdoor unit has been interrupted for 6 hours or longer, observe the following when restoring power to your heat pump system.

!Set the room thermostat selector to the "Emergency Heat" setting to obtain temporary heat for a minimum of 6 hours. This will allow system refrigerant pressures and temperatures enough time to return to a stabilized condition.

!In Emergency Heat mode, all heating demand is satisfied by auxiliary heat; heat pump operation is locked out. After a 6 hour "warm-up" period, the thermostat can then be switched to the "Heat" setting and normal heat pump operation my resume.

!Heat pumps (in the cooling mode) remove humidity from your home. Depending on the amount of moisture in the air inside your home, water will trickle from the condensate drain of the cooling coil.

Thermostat Operation

The wall-mounted thermostat controls your air conditioner. The thermostat is available in various configurations from different manufacturers. The

information below is typical for most thermostats. Ask your dealer for specific information regarding the model of thermostat installed.

Temperature Setting Levers

Most heat pump thermostats have 2 temperature selector levers: one for heating and one for cooling. Set the levers or dials to the desired temperature set points for both heating and cooling. Avoid frequent temperature adjustment; turning the unit off and back on before pressures equalize puts stress on the unit compressor.

On heat pump systems, increasing your thermostat setting by more than 2 degrees may cause supplemental heaters to turn on, reducing potential energy savings.

Fan Switch

In AUTO or INT (intermittent ) mode, the blower operates only when the thermostat calls for heating or cooling. This mode is generally preferred when humidity control is a priority. The ON or CONT mode provides continuous indoor blower operation, regardless of whether the compressor or auxiliary heat are operating. This mode is required when constant air circulation or filtering is desired.

System Switch

Set the system switch for heating, cooling or auto operation. The auto mode allows the heat pump to automatically switch from heating mode to cooling mode to maintain predetermined comfort settings. Many heat pump thermostats are also equipped with an emergency heat mode which locks out heat pump operation and provides temporary heat supplied by the auxiliary heat.

Indicating Light

Most heat pump thermostats have an amber light which indicates when the heat pump is operating in the emergency heat mode.

Temperature Indicator

The temperature indicator displays the actual room temperature.

Fan Control

For fan control your thermostat may have a Fan Selection Switch that allows you to run the fan continuously or cycle it automatically with the heating or cooling system. Switch the lever to ON for continuous operation and to AUTO for automatic cycling.

For maximum comfort satisfaction and continual air cleaning/filtering, constant fan operation is recommended.
