WARNING
WARNING
OPERATING YOUR UNIT
The operation of your heat pump system is controlled by the Infinityr User Interface (UI). You may adjust the temperature manually through the UI or program the UI for automatic control. See UI manual for detailed instructions.
To better protect your investmentand to eliminateunnecessary ser­vice calls, familiarize yourself with the following facts:
1. During heating, increasing the desired temperature setting
more than 2°F(1.1°C) may cause the supplemental heaters to be turned on for a short period of time to satisfy the demand. Needless use of the supplementary heat reduces potential energy savings.
2. Ice or frost tends to form on the coil during winter heating operation. Your unit is designed to automatically melt the ice. When in this defrost cycle, it is normal for steam or
fog to rise from the outdoor unit, and for water to drain from the outside of unit. Do not be alarmed!
To start the unit:
.
1. Turn on the electrical power supply to unit.
2. Set MODE control to desired mode and the User Interface for automatic control.
To shut off unit: Note: If the unit is being shut down because of a malfunction, call
your dealer as soon as possible.
1. Set system MODE control to OFF.
2. Turn off the electrical power supply to unit.
Cooling Mode
With the UI controlset to COOL, your unitwillrun in cooling mode until the indoor temperature is lowered to the level you have se­lected. On extremely hot days, your unit will run for longerperiods at a time and have shorter “off” periods than on moderate days.
Heating Mode
With the UI control set to HEAT, your unit will run in heating mode until the room temperature is raised to the level you have selected. Of course, your unit will run for longer periods to maintain a com­fortable environment on cooler days and nights than on moderate ones.
Supplemental Heat
Your unit is your primary heating source. Your system may also be equipped with a supplemental heating source such as electric heat. On cold days and nights, your system will automaticallyturn on the supplementalheat,as needed, in order to maintainthe level of com­fort you have selected.
Defrost Mode
When your unit is providingheat to your homeor officeand the out­door temperature drops below 45°F(7.2°C), moisture may begin to freeze on the surface of the coil. If allowed to build up, this ice would impede airflow across the coil and reduce the amount of heat ab­sorbedfrom the outsideair. So, to maintain energy-- efficient opera­tion, your unit has an automatic defrost mode.
The defrost mode starts at a preset time interval of 30 minutes, al­though, it may be reset to 60, 90 or 120 minutes. Defrost will start at the preset time only if the ice is sufficientto interfere with normal heating operation.
After the ice is melted from the coil, or after a maximum of 10 min­utesin defrost mode, the unit automatically switches back to normal heating operation.
Do not be alarmed if steam or fog appearsat the outdoor unit during defrost mode. Water vapor from the melting ice may condense into a mist in the cold outside air.
During certain weather conditions such as heavy snow and freezing rain it is not uncommon for ice to build up on the unit grille. This is
2

normal for these weather conditions. Do not attempt to remove the ice from the unit grille. This condition will not affect the proper function of the unit and will clear within a few days.
Emergency Heating Mode
In the event of primary unit heat failure, the emergency heat mode allows your supplemental heating source to keep your home or of­ficewarm untilyour unit can be serviced. Contactyour dealerin the event of primary unit heat failure.
Emergency Cooling Mode
In the event of UI failure,the emergency cooling mode allows your unit to keep your home or officecool until your UI can be serviced. Contact your dealer for more information.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
This section discusses maintenance that should be performed by your dealer and careyou, as the owner,may wish to handle for your new unit.
Routine Maintenance
All routine maintenance should be handled by skilled, experienced personnel. Yourdealercan help you establish a standardprocedure.

CAUTION
FORYOURSAFETY
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
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 filter size for your unit.
Table 1—Air Filters Located Inside Unit
(For Replacement Purposes)
Unit Size Quantity Filter Size
24-- -30 2
36-- -60 3
To replace or inspect filters in accessory filter rack:
1. Remove the filter access panel (See Fig. 2) using a 5/16--in. nut driver.
2. Remove the filter(s) by pulling it out of the unit. If the filter(s) is dirty, clean or replace with a new one.
When installing the new filter(s), note the direction of the airflow ar­rows on the filter frame.
If you have difficulty locating your air filter(s) or have questions concerning proper filter maintenance, contact your dealer for in­structions. When replacing filters, always use the same size and type of filter that was supplied originally by the installer.

(305x610x25)
To assureproper functioning of the unit, flow of condenserair must not be obstructed from reaching the unit. Clearance from the top of the unit is 48 in. (1219 mm). Clearance of at least 36 in. (914 mm) is required on sides except the power entry side (42 [1067 mm] in. clearance) and the duct side (12 in. [305 mm] minimum clearance).
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 AND CUT 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 at least every 3 months and changed or cleaned whenever it becomes dirty. Dirty filters produce excessive stress on the blower motor and can cause the motor to overheat and shut down.
This unit must have an air filter in place before it can be operated. These filters should be located in at least one of two places. In many applications, the installer will provide return air filter grilles mounted on the wall or ceiling of the conditioned structure. In the instance of filter grilles, the filters can simply be removed from the grille and replaced.
