Congratulations...
on your purchase of our heat pump. This energy effi- cient unit has been precision designed, manufactured of
This heat pump has been specially developed and built to meet dual needs of heating and cooling. That’s why you can rely on efficient,
Your system is fully automatic. Set the thermostat and forget it. And it’s automatically protected against dam- age by voltage fluctuations or excessive heating or cooling demands.
GENERAL INFORMATION
HOW YOUR HEAT PUMP WORKS
If your hand is wet and you blow on it, it feels cool because some of the moisture is evaporating and becoming a vapor. This process requires heat. The heat is being taken from your hand, as your hand feels cool.
That’s what happens with a heat pump. During the cooling cycle, your system will remove heat and humid- ity from your structure and will transfer this heat to the outdoor air.
During the heating cycle, your system will remove heat and humidity from the outdoor air* and will transfer this heat to your structure. Remember that your heat pump doesn’t generate much heat, it merely transfers it from one place to another.
*This is possible because even 0F outdoor air con- tains a great deal of heat.
SYSTEM OPERATION
Your thermostat puts full control of the comfort level in your structure at your fingertips.
Set your thermostat for heating or cooling. Find the temperature that is most comfortable for you, and then leave your thermostat alone. Manually moving the ther- mostat up or down to extreme settings will not speed up temperature changes. Avoid moving the thermostat up during heating - particularly where a demand type electric meter is installed. This will increase your oper- ating cost substantially.
The Main power to the system must be kept “On” at all times to prevent damage to the outdoor unit compres- sor. If necessary, the thermostat control switch should be used to turn the system “Off”. Should the main power be disconnected or interrupted for 8 hours or longer, DO NOT attempt to start the system for 8 hours after the power has been restored to the outdoor unit. If heat is needed during this 8 hour period, use emergency heat.
HEATING CYCLE
With the thermostat in the heating position, and out- door temperature in the range of 20 - 30 or below, the outdoor unit will generally run 100% of time.
When the outdoor air is cool and moist, frost may form on the surface of your outdoor coil. When this frost builds to a certain point, your system will switch to a defrost cycle. Although you may feel cooler air coming from your registers, DO NOT adjust your thermostat. This frost will melt quickly, and your system will return to normal operation automatically.
COOLING CYCLE
Switch your thermostat to cool. Select a comfortable thermostat temperature setting, typically between 75 and 80 degrees. Comfort sensations vary with individu- als.The lower the indoor temperature desired, the greater the number of hours your unit must operate.
Set your thermostat 2 or 3F below normal several hours before entertaining large groups during hot weather. People give off considerable heat and mois- ture.
On an extremely hot day, the indoor temperature may rise 3 to 6F above the thermostat setting. Properly selected equipment does not have the capacity to maintain a constant indoor temperature during this peak load.
AIDS TO MAXIMUM OPERATING EFFI- CIENCY
HEATING CONSERVATION
For the most efficient operation, keep storm windows and doors closed all year long. They not only help to insulate against heat and cold, but they also keep out dirt, pollen and noise.
Closing drapes at night and keeping fire place dampers closed when necessary, will help you to retain the air you have already paid to heat.
