SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
To achieve continuing top performance and high efficiency, a regular cleaning/inspection schedule must be estab- lished. Maintaining this schedule can be accomplished by either a local maintenance staff or an authorized servicer and must follow the instructions described in this manual.
•If the unit is operated in a dusty climate, dust may collect in the basepan and clog the condenser coil. It is advisable to remove the unit from the sleeve and thoroughly clean the basepan and condenser coil on a periodic basis.
•If the unit is installed ocean side or in a corrosive atmosphere, its life may be greatly reduced by the corrosive environment. Under these conditions, the unit should be removed from the sleeve and completely cleaned once a year. At that time any scratches or blisters on the painted surfaces should be sanded and repainted.
Normal Operating Sounds and
Conditions
POPPING OR GURGLING SOUNDS
This sound is the refrigerant traveling through the lines. This is a normal sound which may be heard for a few seconds after the unit shuts off.
WATER TRICKLING SOUNDS
This sound is produced by the water as it is picked up and run over the coils. This procedure improves the efficiency of the unit and helps with water removal.
WATER DRIPPING
Water will collect in the basepan during high humidity days.
STARTING DELAY
You may notice a short delay in the startup if you try to restart the unit too soon after turning it off or if you adjust the thermostat right after the compressor has shut off. This delay protects the compressor.
Obtaining Service
In the unlikely event this unit requires repair or servicing beyond what is covered in this manual, contact an autho- rized service organization.
To obtain an authorized servicer, contact your sales repre- sentative or agency.
