MAINTAINING YOUR UNIT

All maintenance should be handled by skilled, experi-

enced personnel. Your dealer can help you establish a stand-
ard procedure.

For your safety, keep the area around the unit clear and

free of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flam-
mable liquids and vapors.

To assure proper functioning of the unit, flow of combus-

tion and ventilating air must not be obstructed from reaching
the unit. Clearance of at least 4 ft on all sides is required.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND CARE

FOR THE EQUIPMENT OWNER

Before proceeding with those things you might want to

maintain yourself, please carefully consider the following:

1. TURN OFF GAS SUPPLY AND ELECTRICAL

POWER TO YOUR UNIT BEFORE SERVICING
OR PERFORMING MAINTENANCE.

2. Do not turn off electrical power to this unit without

first turning off the gas supply.

3. When removing access doors or performing main-

tenance functions inside your unit, be aware of sharp
sheet metal parts and screws. Although special care
has been taken to reduce sharp edges to a minimum,
be extremely careful when handling parts or reach-
ing into the unit.

Air Filters —

Air filters should be checked at least every

3 or 4 weeks and changed or cleaned whenever they become
dirty. Table 1 indicates the correct filter size for your unit.
Remove the filter access panel to replace or inspect the fil-
ters. All units have filter tracks into which the filters slide.
Remove the filters by pulling outward from the track. See
Fig. 4 for filter access panel location. Note the direction of
flow arrows on the filter frame.

For horizontal supply/return units, the size, location and

number of air filters varies from Table 1. If you have diffi-
culty in locating your air filter in the return-air duct system,
or if you have questions concerning proper filter mainte-
nance, contact your dealer for instructions. When replacing
your unit filters, always use the same size and type of filter
that was originally supplied by the installer.

Units with outdoor air capability have a cleanable filter

for the outdoor air. This filter should be checked annually
and cleaned as necessary. Remove by removing screws in
outdoor air filter retainer and sliding filters out of the unit.

Never operate your unit without filters in place. Failure
to heed this warning may result in damage to the blower
motor and/or compressor. An accumulation of dust and
lint on internal parts of your unit can cause loss of ef-
ficiency and in some cases, fire.
