Maintenance
Your ICE AIR unit is designed to provide
many years of efficient, trouble-free comfort
conditioning service. To ensure equipment
longevity and efficiency, please make sure
that the following simple maintenance
procedures are followed. This manual
assumes that your unit has been installed
by a qualified installation professional, and
is operating properly prior to maintenance
service.
Have your unit periodically inspected by
a properly trained service professional or
building maintenance staff person. The unit
should be checked for the safe and proper
functioning of all of its systems at least
once a year. The following recommended
maintenance procedures should be carried
out only by trained personnel with strict
adherence to the Safety Guidelines outlined
at the beginning of this manual. These
procedures MUST be followed to ensure
your safety and the safety of the person
maintaining the equipment!
Indoor Air Filter
All units are equipped with a washable/
reusable filter. It is recommended that you
clean the indoor air filter after every 350
to 400 hours of unit operation – more
frequently if the unit is running in an
environment of high dust, pet dander or
other pollutants in the indoor atmosphere.
Condensate Drain Pan and Drain Hoses
Check the unit condensate drain pan and
drain hoses annually to ensure proper
condensate drainage. If any foreign matter
build-up in the drain pan is found, clean the
drain pan and drain hoses – frequency of
cleaning depends on the level of dirt and
pollutants that may be present in the indoor
environment.
Evaporator Coil
Check and clean (if necessary) the unit
evaporator coil annually.
Evaporator Motor and Blower Assembly
Check and clean for dust and dirt build up as
necessary.
Compressor
Annual check should be performed to detect
potential problems.
Condenser (Water Heat Exchanger)
Water coil maintenance is not required. If the
unit installation is located in a system with
water problem history, it is best to establish
a periodic maintenance program. It is the
building’s responsibility to maintain a water
system that should provide your unit with
treated and filtered water to keep water
flowing freely through your equipment.
With these simple maintenance procedures
carried out on a proper maintenance
schedule, your unit should provide many
years of trouble-free service. The procedures
are covered in greater detail on the following
pages and should be implemented by trained
personnel. But there are certain items that
you, the apartment owner or tenant, can do
to ensure proper unit function:
• Keep the area around your unit clear of
objects that may block air flow into the
unit – furniture, carpets and rugs, etc.
may restrict air movement.
• Keep the top of your cabinet free of
objects that may block air flow out of the
unit – plants, paperwork and books, etc.
should not be placed on or above the
discharge grille area.
• Keep drapes, blinds and other window
treatments clear of the air discharge
area – any blockage of discharge air will
have a negative impact on the unit and
on its ability to properly condition the
room.
General Unit Inspection
Visually inspect unit at least once a month.
Pay special attention to hose assemblies and
connections. Repair any leaks and replace
deteriorated hose immediately to avoid
potential costly damage to your property due
to component failure.
