from one of the most reputable manufac­turers of comfort systems. Your unit uti­lizes Bryant’s environmentally sound
Puron® refrigerant.

Y our ne w unit is among the most reliable
and energy-efficient heat pump products
available today. To assure its dependa­bility , spend just a fe w minutes with this
booklet now. Learn about the operation
of your heat pump, and the small amount
of maintenance it takes to keep it operat­ing at its peak efficiency.

With minimal care, your ne w heat pump
will provide you and your family with
year-round home comfort—both no w
and for years to come.

YOUR COMFOR T
SYSTEM

Identifying Y our System

Take time to get to know the type of
system you have. This will be helpful in
understanding the basic operation of your
new heat pump.

The type of heat pump you have pur­chased is a split system. The split-system
type has an indoor and an outdoor unit,
each of which contains a coil. These units
are interconnected by refrigerant tubes.
(See Fig. 1.)

Each 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 on the last page of this
booklet.

IMPORTANT FACTS

T o better protect your investment and to
eliminate unnecessary service calls, famil­iarize yourself with the following facts:

Keep Filter Clean

Y our heat pump system should ne v er be
operated without a clean air filter prop­erly installed. Plan to inspect the filter
once per month. A clogged air filter will
increase operating costs and shorten the
life of the unit.

Do Not Block Registers

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.

Do Not Cover or Block

Outdoor Unit

The outdoor unit must have unrestricted
airflow. Do not cover the unit, lean
anything against it, or stand upon it. Do
not allow grass clippings, lea ves, or other
debris to accumulate around or on top of
the unit. Maintain a 12-in. minimum
clearance between the outdoor unit and
tall grass, vines, shrubs, etc.

Get to Know Your Thermostat

Your multipurpose indoor thermostat is
the control center for your heat pump
system. Y ou should f amiliarize yourself
with its proper operation. (See Fig. 2 and

3.) Attempting to control the system by
other means—for instance, switching the
electrical supply power ON and OFF—
may cause damage to the unit.

During heating, increasing the
thermostat more than 2 degrees may
cause the supplemental heaters to be
turned on to satisfy the thermostat.
Needless use of the supplementary heat
reduces potential energy savings.

Continuous Fan

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. These air pock ets
may be too cool or warm for your liking.
Continuous fan operation minimizes any
temperature differences.

Air Cleaners and Humidifiers

Systems equipped with electronic or
mechanical air cleaners and/or humidi-

Improper installation, adjust­ment, alteration, service, main­tenance, or use can cause ex­plosion, fire, electrical shock,
or other conditions which may
cause personal injury or prop­erty damage. Consult a quali­fied installer, service agency, or
your distributor or branch for
information or assistance. The
qualified installer or agency
must use factory-authorized
kits or accessories when modi­fying this product.

areas of your home.

Check Condensate Drain

Your heat pump system will remove
humidity from your home during the
cooling season. After a fe w minutes
of operation, you should be able to see
water trickle from the condensate drain
of the cooling coil. 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 v ery dry
environment.

Heated Air Temperatur e

During the heating cycle, air from your
registers may seem cooler than you might
first expect. This is because the air is being
delivered at a higher v elocity and a more
constant flow than air supplied by a con­ventional furnace. Also, your heat pump
supplies air at 90 to 105°F instead of in
sudden bursts of hot air as with a conven­tional furnace. The air may feel cool
because it is slightly less than your body
temperature. Howev er, it is sufficiently
warm to keep you comfortable.
