MAINTENANCE & SERVICE
MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW
Y
our ICE AIR WSHP unit is designed to provide you with 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 WSHP 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 recom-
mended 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.
FILTER
ICE AIR WSHPs 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.
•
Filter inspection: The filter is located at the bottom of your unit.
To remove unit slide it out towards you.
•
To reinstall place filter under the unit and slide back in to the
filter rack
Filter Cleaning:
To clean your filter use luke warm water with a biodegradable
cleaner rinse and allow to dry completely before installing back
to unit. (As an alternate cleaning method,
the filter may be cleaned on both sides
using a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush
type attachment.)
DO NOT OPERATE UNIT WITHOUT
FILTERS.
This practice will damage and/
or seriously impair the performance of
your unit and could void your Warranty.
