Congratulations . . .

On your purchase of one of the most versatile comfort conditioning systems available in the industry today. This high effi- ciency system has been precision designed, manufactured of high quality materials and has passed many vigorous inspections and tests to ensure years of satisfactory service.

This booklet is meant to increase your understanding of your system, tell you how to operate it efficiently and how to obtain the greatest measure of comfort at the lowest operating expense. Please read this booklet thoroughly.

We appreciate your interest in our product and your decision to purchase our system. Enjoy your comfort.

This high efficiency air conditioning system has been precision engi- neered, manufactured of high quality materials, and has been passed many rigorous tests and inspections to ensure years of satisfactory service. That's why you can rely on efficient, trouble-free operation.

Your system is fully automatic. Set the thermostat and forget it. And it's auto- matically protected from damage by voltage fluctuations or excessive heat- ing or cooling demands.

Your split system air conditioner con- sists of two units - one installed out- doors and one installed indoors. The indoor unit may be installed in a base- ment, attic, or crawl space.

HOW YOUR AIR CONDITIONER WORKS

If your hand is wet and you blow on it, it feels cool because some of the mois- ture is evaporating and becoming a vapor. This process requires heat. The heat is being taken from your hand, so your hand feels cool.

That's what happens with an air condi- tioner. During the cooling cycle, your system will remove heat and humidity from your home and will transfer this heat to the outdoor air.

SYSTEM OPERATION

Your thermostat puts full control of the comfort level in your home at your fin- gertips.

DO NOT switch your thermostat rap- idly “On" and “Off" or between “Heat" to “Cool" This could damage your equipment. Always allow at least 5 minutes between changes.

SETTING THE THERMOSTAT

System Off - On stand by: No heating, cooling, or blower air. Set system switch to “Off" and fan switch to “Auto".

Fan Only - On moderate days, usually during spring and fall, when neither heating nor cooling is required, you may want to run only the fan to venti- late, circulate and filter the air in your home or building. Set the system switch to “OFF” and the fan switch to “ON”. Be sure to return the switches to their original positions for normal oper- ation.

Cooling - To operate the air condi- tioner, set system switch to “Cool", fan switch to “Auto", and the temperature selector lever to the desired tempera- ture. For a cooler temperature, set lever to lower number. For less cool- ing, set lever to higher number.

Heating - To operate the furnace for heat, set system switch to “Heat", fan switch to “Auto", and the temperature selector lever to the desired tempera- ture. For a higher temperature, set lever to higher number. For a lower temperature, set the lever to a lower number.

Continuous Air Circulation - Regard- less of whether heating or cooling the home: Set fan switch to “On", system switch to either “Heat" or “Cool" and the temperature selector lever to the desired temperature. This provides continuous air filtering and more even temperature distribution to all condi- tioned spaces. The sound level within the home/building will also remain rela- tively constant.

To operate a Programmable/Electronic thermostat: Refer to its User's Manual.

Set your thermostat for heating or for cooling. Then set it for the desired tem- perature. Find the temperature that is most comfortable for you, and then leave your thermostat alone. Manu- ally moving the thermostat up or down to extreme settings will not speedup temperature changes. Avoid moving the thermostat up dur- ing heating - particularly where a demand type electric meter is installed and electric furnace is installed for heating. This will increase your operat- ing cost substantially.

The main power to the sys- tem must be kept “ON" at all times to prevent damage to the outdoor unit compressor. 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 sys- tem 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.
