GLOSSARY OF CONTROL SYMBOLS.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

INDICATOR LIGHT

Amber indicator light is on when unit is in operation.
Indicator light will NOT be on if unit has cycled off due to

a command from the timer control. In such a case, unit
will only be off for the time period set.

OFF O

O symbol on cooling/heating mode control dial is the

J^Ui

nit’s “OFF” position. When dial is turned to this

ymbol, unitwill NOT operate, in either manual or

automatic setting.
When leaving your home or office for a period of time

during which you do not wish the unit to cycle on for an
Automatic setting, be sure cooling/heating mode dial is

set to off position.

for quick cooling or on extremely hot days. Once room
is cooled, manufacturer suggests switching to a lower
cool setting.

H LOW HEAT m HIGH HEAT

Choose the heat setting you want simply by turning
mode control dial to the appropriate size sun symbol.

Use the following as a guide for choosing heating
settings:

Low Heat: Recommended for mildly chilly days and for

nighttime use.

High Heat: Provides maximum heating. Recommended

for sudden temperature drops and extended heating
needs.

THERMOSTAT +oVy-0

Set dial between -FO (warmer) and -0 (cooler) symbols
to obtain desired comfort level. This dial has no effect on
fan speed.

MANUAL START

Slide switch above timer to MAN setting to operate unit

manually. Set thermostat and cooling/heating mode
dials to desired settings.

FAN ONLY

Set cooling/heating mode control dial to fan symbol.

This will produce air at the minimal fan speed WITHOUT

cooling/heating.

When switching to Fan Only, allow two minutes before

switching unit back to cooling.

AUTOMATIC OPERATION

Your Carrier unit has a timer that allows pre-setting of
“on” and “off” times. Set unit to turn on and cool or heat
your home or office before you arrive. Set unit to auto
matically turn off after you leave.

NOTE: Timer must be reset after power failures or
interruptions.

SET TiMER TO TIME OF DAY

Rotate timer dial clockwise
until current time of day lines up
with the setting mark on flat
surface behind dial.

—Noon

-'i-

—Midnight

Timer pins are positioned inwards (towards center of

dial) from factory to allow continuous operation.

SETTING THE TIMER FOR
AUTOMATIC ON/OFF OPERATION

To set the timer, simply slide a pin outward from the dial’s
center for each hour (approximately) that you wish the
unit to be off.

EXAMPLE; You work days 8-4 and want the unit off
while you are at work, and cooling your room when you
arrive home at 5:00 p.m.

1) Slide the pins beginning at 8:00 a.m. through 3:00

p.m. on the dial, away from the center.

2) Switch the timer to AUTO setting.

Now the unit will automatically turn off at 8:00 a.m. and
start at 4:00 p.m. (an hour before you return home so
that the room where your unit is installed is cool and

refreshing).

You can program the timer similarly for heating

operation.

NOTE; If timer’s switch is on MAN, timer setting will be

overridden and the unit will run continuously.
You may adjust the cooling or heating speed

while unit is on AUTO, without changing
your timer’s setting.

The timer can be programmed to turn off and on,
one or more times during 24-hour period.

AIR DIRECTION

Your 51 QC/QG unit has an Auto Air Circulator control I
feature, allowing vertical air deflectors to move automa
tically from left to right for better air distribution around
the room. For straightforward air discharge, vertical air

deflectors may be adjusted manually (with air sweep
switch in off position). The horizontal air deflectors are
also adjusted manually.

OFF- O

FAN CYCLE

I — Setting lets fan cycle on and off with compressor or

electric heater. Fan stops when thermostat setting
is satisfied. This mode is recommended for max
imum comfort during heating operations, to elimi
nate circulation of unheated room air by the unit.
When used in cooling, this mode results In longer
off time and wider variations in temperature and
humidity.

O — Setting allows continuous fan function, circulating

air even when compressor or heater has cycled off
and thermostat setting has been reached. This

mode is recommended for maximum comfort

during cooling operations.

O

ON- I

t

Vent

Exhaust

AIR EXCHANGE

Your Carrier unit is equipped with vent and exhaust air

exchange systems. Use the following guide when

choosing the appropriate system:

Vent: Draws outside air into the room.

Exhaust: Expels stale, smokey or odor laden air from

the room to the outside.

For either system operation, push appropriate button
and turn cooling/heating mode dial to Fan Only setting.

When air exchange is completed, return to normal cool

ing or heating by pushing vent or exhaust button again
and rotating mode dial from Fan Only to desired setting.

NOTE: Vent and exhaust usage is not recommended
during cooling or heating as these operations either vent
outside air into the room, or exhaust cooled or heated
air out.

REMEMBER: Button pushed in opens vent or exhaust
system. Button pushed out, closes vent or exhaust
system.

IMPOFTTANT FACTS ABOUT

.^EAT PUMP OPERATIONS

C)perating Sounds: A momentary ‘whooshing’ sound is

normai when unit is switched over to the heating mode.

Auto Coil Defrost: Low outside temperature and high

humidity can combine to cause ice buiid-up on the

butside coii when your unit is set on heat mode, in such

an instance, the unit automaticaiiy switches to a defrost
cycie, shutting its compressor off. A buiit-in eiectric
heater wiii continue to heat your room during the defrost

cycie. After defrosting is compieted, the unit automat

icaiiy switches back to heat pump operation.

Drain Valve: Your unit has a thermostatically operated

drain valve located in its basepan. Valve remains closed
in warm weather, channeling condensate to outdoor
coil to increase cooling efficiency. In cooler weather
(50°F or lower), valve automatically opens, draining
condensate and preventing possible ice build-up in
basepan.

Electric Heater: Should outdoor temperatures drop to

35°F or lower, the unit’s compressor automatically shuts
off and electric heater will take over the heating process.

In such a case, the unit’s thermostat maintains the

comfort setting and room temperature you desire by
turning heater and fan on and off as needed.

Compressor Override/Low-Temp Control: Control is

located at the top right corner of air discharge.

Normal Heat Pump:

Control knob must line up with “Normal” position on
label: This allows the electric heater to take over the

heating process from the compressor during heat
pump operation at an outdoor temperature of 35°F.

Electric Heat:

To have the electric heater take over the heating
process at an outdoor temperature above the factory

preset 35°F, the control knob can be set closer toward

the “Electric Heat” position on label until desired
setting is reached (see note).

NOTE: Override Feature: If compressor fails during
cold weather, turn control knob counterclockwise to
“Electric Heat” position to activate electric heater
while awaiting service.

ECONOMIC ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Select thermostat setting that suits your comfort needs
and leave thermostat at that chosen setting.

Keep unit’s filter clean. Normally filter should be cleaned
every 30 days. Filter is very efficient in removing airborne
particles. More frequent cleaning may be necessary
depending on outside and inside air quality. To remove
filter: grasp filter tab at bottom of front grille and pull
down and out. Filter may be vacuumed or washed by

hand in warm water. Dry thoroughly and replace filter by
sliding it upward behind front grille.

TOOLS YOU WILL NEED FOR INSTALLATION

Through-the-Wall Installation:

Construction and masonry tools needed for through­the-wall installation.

I>crewdrivers—Both Phillips and regular head types

Power drill (1 /8" dia. drill bit)
Pencil
Measuring Tape

Scissors or a razor-edged knife

Use drapes, curtains, shades et. al. to keep direct sun

light from heating room.
Do not obstruct front of unit.
Use built-in timer to turn unit on just before you return,

rather than running unit while you are out.

When outdoor temperatures are cool enough, use fan

control in conjunction with vent control to bring cool
outside air into room. This utilizes much less electricity.
REMEMBER: Maximum cooling and heating efficiency
is achieved when vent and exhaust systems are off.
Check to make sure vent and exhaust controls are not
on while unit is cooling room.

Even without above tips, your Carrier unit is designed to
be highly efficient in energy savings!

THROUGH-THE-WAUL

INSTALLATION STEPS

The 51 QC/QG is normally installed through a wall.
During installation, you will be moving unit’s chassis from
the cabinet casing, installing the casing first and then
re-inserting the chassis.
