But your unit may have two filters.

In either case, removing the filter is easy. See the owners manual furnished with the indoor unit. Just be sure to replace it with the arrows on it pointing in the direction of the airflow.

Cut operating costs by keeping outdoor unit clear of the debris, leaves and shrubbery.

Efficient operation of your air conditioner depends on the free flow of air over the coil. Anything that blocks the airflow, causes the compressor to work harder to move the warm air out of your house.

To avoid overworking your unit, do not plant flowers or shrubbery right next to it. Also, make

sure that nothing is stacked against the sides of the unit or draped over it.

Making sure that your outdoor unit is kept clear at all times helps it work at peak efficiency. And that helps you save money.

CAUTION: Whenever your house is to be vacant, arrange to have someone inspect your house for proper temperature. This is very important in below freezing weather. If for any reason your heating system should fail to operate, damage could result, such as frozen water pipes.

How to operate your system to save electricity

Just set the temperature you want.

Here’s how: place the system switch on COOL, and the fan switch on AUTO. Then set the temperature by using the indicator on the thermostat* control.

Now your system will cool your house whenever the indoor temperature climbs above the thermostat setting. It will shut off when the desired room temperature is reached.

In winter, it works the same way. When the system switch is on HEAT, the system will operate whenever the room temperature falls below the temperature setting. Once the desired temperature is reached, the system will shut off.

Carefully read the accompanying thermostat manual for operating instructions.

Save energy with an electronic programmable thermostat.

Just program the thermostat* for the temperatures you are most comfortable with. The Trane electronic

*Operation accessory, purchased separately.

programmable thermostat has up to four setup or setback periods each day, plus weekend and vacation programs. It saves energy while it keeps you comfortable day or night.

Let the thermostat do its job.

Your system will perform most efficiently when you let the thermostat control it. Turning the system on and off manually is usually much less efficient. So let the thermostat do its job.You’ll be sure to save energy.

We recommend keeping the temperature setting at 78°F for cooling, 68°F for heating. But you can select the temperature you’re most comfortable with.

The point is, once you’ve set the thermostat, keep subsequent adjustments to a minimum.

At all other times, let the thermostat keep you comfortable. And keep energy bills down.

Don’t waste money heating and cooling when you don’t need to.

When you’re going to be away from home for a few days — or when outdoor temperatures are moderate — don’t let the air conditioner run unnec- essarily. Lower the thermostat to 55°F in the winter. And raise it to 85°F in summer.Then when you return — or when temperature conditions dictate — you can reset the system and it will immediately begin making your home comfortable again.

Never stop the system by shutting off the main power.

If the main power is ever disconnected for more than three hours, turn off the thermostat. Then wait for at least three more hours after power has been restored before turning the thermostat back on. Failure to follow this procedure could result in damage to your system.

CAUTION: If unit is not operational during the cold weather months, provisions must be taken to prevent freeze-up of all water pipes and water receptacles.

How to help reduce summer humidity.

In summer, your air conditioner does more than cool the air. It also helps remove the excess moisture that can make the inside of your home feel muggy. When removing this moisture your system must work harder than when simply cooling the air.

That’s why kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms should have vents and exhaust fans.These devices help prevent accumulation of moisture throughout the rest of the house. So your air conditioner works less to keep you comfortable. And that helps keep operating cost down.
