TO MAXIMIZE OPERATING EFFICIENCY
HEATING CONSERVATION
For the most efficient operation, keep storm windows and doors closed
all year long. They not only help insulate against heat and cold, but they
also keep out dirt, pollen, and noise.
Closing drapes at night, keeping fireplace dampers closed when not in
use, and running exhaust fans only when necessary will help you to
retain the air you have already paid to heat.
Keep lamps, televisions, or other heat producing sources away from the
thermostat. The thermostat will sense this extra heat and will not be
able to maintain the inside temperature to the desired comfort level.
COOLING CONSERVATION
To comfortably cool your home, your air conditioner must remove both
heat and humidity. Don’t turn your system off even though you will be
away all day. On a hot day, your system may have to operate between 8
to 12 hours to reduce the temperature in your home to a normal comfort
level.
Keep windows closed after sundown. While the outdoor temperature at
night may be lower than indoors, the air is generally loaded with mois-
ture which is soaked up by furniture, carpets, and fabrics. This moisture
must be removed when you restart your system.
The hotter the outside temperature, the greater the load on your sys-
tem. Therefore do not be alarmed when your system continues to run
after the sun has set on a hot day. Heat is stored in your outside walls
during the day and will continue to flow into your home for several hours
after sunset.
Use your kitchen exhaust fan when cooking. One surface burner on
“HIGH” requires one ton of cooling. Turn on your bathroom exhaust fan
while showering to remove humidity. However, exhaust fans should not
be run excessively. It would decrease efficiency by removing condi-
tioned air.
You can also help your system in the summer by closing drapes or
blinds and by lowering awnings on windows that get direct sunlight.
CARE OF SYSTEM
It is strongly recommended that regular periodic preventative mainte-
nance be performed on this equipment. The person most familiar with
your Heating and Cooling system is a dealer. The dealer can ensure
your maintenance program meets the conditions of the Warranty”, max-
imize the efficiency of the equipment, and service your unit within the
federally mandated guidelines with regard to unlawful discharge of
refrigerants into the atmosphere.
COIL CARE
Keep the outdoor unit free of foliage, grass clippings, leaves, paper, and
any other material which could restrict the proper air flow in and out of
the unit. The coil may be vacuumed to remove any debris from between
the fins. If the coil becomes excessively dirty, turn the main disconnect
switch to “Off” and wash the coil with your garden hose. Avoid getting
water into the fan motor and control box. Flush dirt from base pan after
cleaning the coil.
SERVICE CALLS
There are a few instances where the user can avoid unnecessary ser-
vice calls. If unit stops functioning properly check the following items
before calling your servicing dealer:
1. Indoor section for dirty filter.
2. Outdoor section for leaf or debris blockage. Eliminate problem, turn
off the thermostat for 10 seconds and attempt start. Wait 5 minutes.
If system does not start, call your servicing dealer.
FILTER CARE
Inspect the air filter(s) at least once a month. If they are dirty, wash
reusable filters with a mild detergent per manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions. Replace disposable filters with new filters. Install the clean filters
with “air flow” arrow in the same direction as the air flow in your duct.
Filters should be clean to assure maximum efficiency and adequate air
circulation.
CLEARANCES
The minimum clearances shown below must be maintained should any
patio or yard improvements be done around the outdoor unit.
• Top - 36”
• Front - 36”
• Right Side - 36”
• Left Side - 24”
Overhanging structures or shrubs must not obstruct condenser air dis-
charge outlet.
PARTS INFORMATION
Replacement parts are available from local contractor/dealer.
SOME EFFICIENCY DO’S & DON’TS
DON’T be a “thermostat jiggler”. Moving your thermostat setting will not
make your system heat or cool any faster. Adjust your thermostat to a
comfortable setting and leave it there.
DON’T restrict air circulation. Placing furniture, rugs, etc. in such a way
that they interfere with air vents will make your system work harder to
achieve a comfortable temperature level. This requires more energy,
which means greater cost to you.
DON’T locate lamps or other heat-producing appliances (radios, TV’s,
heaters, etc.) near your thermostat. The heat from these items will give
your thermostat “false information” about the temperature in the room.
DO select a comfortable thermostat setting, but keep in mind that mod-
eration in temperature selection will save energy.
DO turn on your kitchen exhaust fan when cooking and your bathroom
exhaust fan when showering. Also, make sure your clothes dryer is
properly vented. If these items are neglected, an excess heat and
humidity condition may be created, causing your air conditioning sys-
tem to run longer.
DO set your thermostat a few degrees lower than normal several hours
before entertaining a large group of people in a relatively small area.
People give off a considerable amount of heat and moisture in a closed
area.
DO keep drapes and venetian blinds closed when practical. These
items provide insulation against heat loss/gain.
DO contact a qualified service technician to make repairs or adjust-
ments to your system. He has been trained to perform this service.
NOTICE
DO NOT use a pressure washer as coil fin damage will occur.
WARNING
Your system contains environmentally friendly refrigerant R-410A,
which operates at high pressures. You may be in danger if you try to
make an attempt to repair your unit. Please contact your local dealer.
