refrigerant to nameplate charge. It is critical that the exact 

charge is re-installed. Failure to comply will compromise 

system performance. 

If  unit  performance  is  still  questionable,  check  for 

refrigerant  related  problems,  such  as  blocked  coil  or 

circuits,  malfunctioning  metering  device  or  other  system

Maintenance

Before performing maintenance operations on the 

system, shut off all electrical power to the unit. Turn off 

accessory heater power switch if applicable. Electrical 

shock could cause personal injury or death.

WARNING

Periodic inspection and maintenance normally consists of 

changing or cleaning the filters and cleaning the outdoor 

coil.  On  occasion,  other  components  may  also  require 

cleaning.

Filters

Filters are not supplied with the unit. Inspect once a month. 

Replace disposable or clean permanent type as necessary. 

Do not replace permanent type with disposable.

Motors

Indoor and outdoor fan and vent motors are permanently 

lubricated and require no maintenance.

Some models may be equipped with a permanent magnet, 

constant torque indoor blower motor. These motors remain 

energized  and  are  controlled  by  24V  signals.  For  high 

static  applications,  use  tap  3  for  cooling  speed  and  tap 

5 for heating speed. Refer to the heater install label for 

limitations to blower tap selection on heating speeds.

Outdoor Coil

Dirt  and  debris  should  not  be  allowed  to  accumulate  on 

the outdoor coil surface or other parts in the air circuit. 

Cleaning should be as often as necessary to keep the coil 

clean. Use a brush, vacuum cleaner attachment, or other 

suitable means. If water is used to clean the coil, be sure 

the power to unit is shut off prior to cleaning. Care should 

be used when cleaning the coil so that the coil fins are not 

damaged.
