YOUR COMFORT SYSTEM
A. Identifying Your System
Take the time to familiarize yourself with your packaged air
conditioning system. This knowledge will be of use in understanding the basic operation of your new air conditioner. The unit has a
rating plate affixed to it which provides necessary information for
specific identification of a unit. You should familiarize yourself
with the product, model, and serial numbers listed on each rating
plate. Record them for future reference in the space provided at the
end of this booklet.
IMPORTANT FACTS
To better protect your investment and to eliminate unnecessary
calls, familiarize yourself with the following facts:
1. Your air conditioning system should never be operated
without a clean air filter properly installed. Plan to inspect
the filter periodically. A clogged air filter will increase
operating costs and shorten the life of the unit.

2. Supply-air and return-air registers should not be blocked.
Drapes, furniture, and toys are some of the items commonly
found obstructing registers. Restricted airflow lessens the
unit’s efficiency and life span.
3. The outdoor unit must have unrestricted airflow. Do not
cover the unit, lean anything against it, or stand on it. Do
not allow grass clippings, leaves, or other debris to accumulate around on top of the unit. Maintain a 30-in.
minimum clearance between the outdoor unit and tall grass,
vines, shrubs, etc.
4. Your multipurpose indoor thermostat is the control center
for your heat pump system. You should familiarize yourself
with its proper operation. Attempting to control the system
by other means—for instance, switching the electrical
supply power ON and OFF—may cause damage to the unit
(See Fig. 3).
5. You may find that you can maintain greater personal
comfort by running the fan continuously. “Air pockets” can
form due to the structure of the house, placement of
registers, etc. air pockets may be too cool or warm for your
liking. Continuous fan operation minimizes any temperature differences. Also, systems equipped with electronic or
mechanical air cleaners and/or humidifiers offer the added
benefits of having the air continuously cleaned year-round
and humidified during the winter season.
6. Your air conditioner will remove humidity from your home
during the cooling season. After a few minutes of operation,
you should be able to see water trickle from the condensate
drain. Check this occasionally to be sure the drain system is
not clogged. Of course, don’t expect to see much drainage
if you live in a very dry environment.
WARNING: FIRE AND ELECTRICAL HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death and/or property damage.
To prevent serious injury, death, or property damage,
read and follow all instructions and warnings, including
labels shipped with or attached to unit before operating
your new heat pump.
OPERATING YOUR AIR CONDITIONER
The operation of your air conditioning system is controlled by the
indoor thermostat. You simply adjust the thermostat and it
maintains the indoor temperature at the level you select. Most
thermostats for air conditioning systems have 3 controls: a
temperature control selector, a FAN control, and a SYSTEM or
MODE control.
A. Cooling Mode
When operating in cooling mode, your air conditioner will run in
cooling mode until the indoor temperature is lowered to the level
you have selected. On extremely hot days, your air conditioner will
run for longer periods at a time and have shorter “off” periods than
on moderate days.
The following are typical conditions that add extra heat and/or
humidity to your home. Your air conditioner will work longer to
keep your home comfortable under these conditions:
1. Entrance doors are frequently opened and closed
2. Laundry appliances are being operated
3. A shower is running
4. More than the usual number of people are present in the
home
5. More than the normal number of electric lights are in use
6. Drapes are open on the sunny side of the home

B. Heating Cycle
If you own a packaged air conditioner that includes electric heat as
an accessory, you need to set your thermostat for heating when it
is desired.
With the SYSTEM switch of your indoor thermostat set to the
HEAT position, the heating section of your home comfort system
will operate until room temperature is raised to the level you have
selected. Of course, the heating unit will have to operate for longer
periods to maintain a comfortable environment on colder days and
nights than on moderate ones.
