Maintenance and Care for the Equipment Owner
Before proceeding with those things you might want to maintain yourself, please carefully consider the following:
!
FIRE,EXPLOSION,ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death or property damage.
1. TURN OFF ELECTRICAL POWER TO YOUR UNIT BEFORE SERVICING OR PERFORMING MAINTENANCE.
2. When removing access panels or performing maintenance functions inside your unit, be aware of sharp sheet metal parts and screws. Although special care is taken to reduce sharp edges to a minimum, be extremely careful when handling parts or reaching into the unit.
Air Filters
The air filter(s) should be checked every 3 or 4 weeks and changed or cleaned whenever it becomes dirty. Dirty filters produce exces­sive stress on the blowermotor and can causethe motor to overheat and shut down.
This unit must have air filters in place before it can be operated. These filters can be located in one of at least two places. In many ap­plications, the installer will provide return air filter grilles mounted on the wall or ceiling of the conditioned structure. Inthe instanceof filter grilles, the filters can simply be removed from the grille and re­placed.
The other typical application is an accessory filter rack installed in­side the unit itself. The following information is given to assist in changing filters used in these internal filter racks.
Table 1 indicates the correct indoor filter size for your unit. Refer to Fig. 2 to access filters installed in the accessory filter rack. If using an Accessory Filter Rack, refer to the Installation Instructions pro­vided with it for correct filter sizes and quantities.
