event, the unit does not operate, check the reset button located on or near the head of the power cord as part of the normal troubleshooting procedure.
Use copper wire only. Consumer’s responsibility is to provide proper and adequate receptacle wiring that conforms to all applicable codes. All wiring should be installed by qualified electrician.
Installation
Complete
•Unit with a window mounting kit
These models are designed for mounting though an opening in a wall. These units can be adapted to window installation by using the optional window mount- ing kit supplied with your unit.
•Unit without a window mounting kit
No window mounting kit is supplied with the unit. These models are designed for mounting through an opening in a wall. These units can be adapted to window installation by purchasing an optional window mounting kit. Consult your dealer to choose the kit that is appropriate for your model and installation.
•Unit with a separate sleeve
Some Builder models are designed such that the outer case and the chassis can be purchased separately.
RoomHeatPumps
Heat pumps work by moving heat instead of creating it. In the summer, the cool indoor coil absorbs heat from your room and moves it outdoors, providing cooling. In the winter, heat pumps reverse this operation. By lowering the temperature of the outdoor coil below the outdoor temperature, the heat pump absorbs the heat from outdoors and moves it inside your house. This heat transferring process is very efficient. For example, at 45°F outdoor temperature, a heat pump can provide 2 ½ watts of heat for every watt of electricity it consumes.
As outdoor temperatures drop, the heating capacity and efficiency of the heat pump declines. At temperatures below 45°F, it is likely that ice will form on the outdoor coil. Heat pump units are designed to operate as a heat pump above approximately 40°F. Below 40°F, these units switch auto- matically from reverse cycle heat pump to auxiliary electric heating. No defrost is required. There is no minimum operating temperature.
NormalCareandMaintenance
WARNING
To avoid property damage, personal injury or death due to electrical shock, turn fan control OFF and remove plug from wall outlet before inspecting unit or performing maintenance.
Annual Inspection
It is suggested that your unit be inspected by your dealer or servicer once a year. It is advisable to have the outer case removed and the unit thoroughly cleaned.
Note: The life of your unit may be greatly reduced if you live in a salt air or other corrosive type environment. Under these conditions, the unit should be removed from its case and completely cleaned at least once a year. At that time any scratches or blisters on the painted surfaces should be sanded and repainted. Placing an algaecide tablet in the outdoor side of the unit’s basepan is suggested in humid areas where algae formation is common.
