OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Read this owner information to become familiar with the
capabilities and use of your appliance. Keep this with
literature on other appliances where you have easy access
to it in the future. If a problem occurs, check the instructions
and follow recommendations given. If these suggestions
don’t eliminate your problem, call your servicing contractor
.
To Operate Your Air Conditioner for Cooling —
1. Set the thermostat system switch to COOL or AUTO
and the thermostat fan switch to AUTO. (See Figure 1)
2. Set the thermostat temperature to the desired
temperature level by pressing the WARMER or COOLER
button. Please refer to the separate detailed thermostat
user's manual for complete instructions regarding
thermostat programming. The outdoor unit and indoor
blower will both cycle on and off to maintain the indoor
temperature at the desired cooling level.
To Operate Your Furnace for Heating —
1. Set the thermostat system switch to HEAT or AUTO and
the thermostat fan switch to AUTO. (See Figure 1)
2. Set the thermostat temperature to the desired
temperature level by pressing the WARMER or COOLER
button. Please refer to the separate detailed user's
manual for complete thermostat programming
instructions. The furnace and indoor blower will cycle on
and off to maintain the indoor temperature at the desired
heating level.
To Shut Off Your Air Conditioner —
Set the thermostat system switch to OFF and the thermostat
fan switch to AUTO. (See Figure 1)
The system will not operate, regardless of the thermostat
temperature setting.
To Operate the Indoor Blower Continuously —
Set the thermostat fan switch to ON (See Figure 1)
The indoor blower will start immediately, and will run
continually until the fan switch is reset to AUTO.
The continuous indoor blower operation can be obtained
with the thermostat system switch set in any position,
including OFF.
The continuous indoor blower operation is typically used to
circulate the indoor air to equalize a temperature unbalance
due to a sun load, cooking, or fireplace operation.
To Maintain Your Air Conditioner —
1.
Regularly:
a. Clean or replace the indoor air filter at the start of each
heating and cooling season, and when an accumulation
of dust and dirt is visible on the air filter.
b. Remove any leaves and grass clippings from the coil in
the outdoor unit, being careful not to damage the
aluminum fins.
c. Check for any obstruction, such as twigs, sticks, etc.
CAUTION:
Do not over-oil, or oil motors not factory-
equipped with oil tubes. The compressor is
hermetically “sealed” and does not require
lubrication.
!
2.
Before Each Cooling Season:
If the furnace/air handler blower motor and the outdoor unit
fan motor(s) have oil tubes at the motor bearings, apply 10
drops of SAE No. 20 motor oil to each oil tube.
3.
Before Calling a Service Technician, Be Certain:
a. The unit thermostat is properly set — see “To Operate
Your Air Conditioner for Cooling” and “To Operate Your
Furnace for Heating.”
IMPORTANT
CAUTION:
!
Be certain the electrical power to the outdoor
unit and the furnace/air handler is disconnected
before doing the following recommended
maintenance.
