How it works to keep you comfortable
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Trane air conditioner.Your air conditioner is designed to work with a matched indoor unit creating a system that delivers years of dependable service and performance.
Your air conditioning system cools, filters, and dehumidifies your home.
As the air conditioning system circulates the air, it also filters it. The air conditioning system also extracts excess moisture from the air inside your home, thus helping to control humidity in muggy summer months.
Acquaint yourself with your new system by spending just a few minutes with this booklet. Learn about the operation of your system and the small amount of maintenance it takes to keep it operating at peak efficiency.
Proper maintenance for maximum efficiency

▲! CAUTION
Although special care has been taken to minimize sharp edges in the construction of your unit, be extremely careful when handling parts or reaching into the unit.
Help ensure top efficiency by cleaning or replacing the filter monthly.*
When the air conditioner circulates and filters the air in your home, dust and dirt particles build up on the filter. Excessive accumulation can block the airflow, forcing the unit to work harder to maintain desired temperatures. And the harder your unit works, the more energy it uses.
Clean or replace your filter twice a month during seasons when the unit runs more often.
When replacing your filter(s), always use the same size and type that was originally supplied. Filters are available from your dealer.
Where disposable filters are used, they must be replaced every month with the same size as originally supplied.
How to remove your filter.*
Ask your Trane dealer where the filter is located in your system and how to service it.
Just be sure to replace it with the arrows pointing in the direction of the airflow.
*Before removing the filter, see the owners manual furnished with the indoor unit.
Efficiency can be maintained by keeping outdoor unit clear of 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 your outdoor unit is kept clear at all times helps it work at peak efficiency.
