Room Heat Pumps

Heat pumps work by moving heat instead of creating it. In the summer, the cool indoor coil absorbs heat from your room and moves it outdoors, providing cooling. In the winter, heat pumps reverse this operation. By lowering the temperature of the outdoor coil below the outdoor temperature, the heat pump absorbs the heat from outdoors and moves it inside your house. This heat transferring process is very efficient. For example, at 45°F outdoor temperature, a heat pump can provide 2 ½ watts of heat for every watt of electricity it consumes.

As outdoor temperatures drop, the heating capacity and efficiency of the heat pump declines. At temperatures below 45°F, it is likely that ice will form on the outdoor coil. Heat pump units are designed to operate as a heat pump above approximately 40°F. Below 40°F, these units switch auto- matically from reverse cycle heat pump to auxiliary electric heating. No defrost is required. There is no minimum

event, the unit does not operate, check the reset button located on or near the head of the power cord as part of the normal troubleshooting procedure.

Use copper wire only. Consumer’s responsibility is to provide proper and adequate receptacle wiring that conforms to all applicable codes. All wiring should be installed by qualified electrician.

Installation

Complete step-by-step installation instructions are furnished with your unit. These instructions will be found on a separate page included with this manual or in the mounting kit assembly. Follow these instructions carefully. Keep these instructions with this manual for future reference. Your unit will be one of the following three designs:

• Unit with a window mounting kit

These models are designed for mounting though an opening in a wall. These units can be adapted to window installation by using the optional window mounting kit supplied with your unit.

• Unit without a window mounting kit

No window mounting kit is supplied with the unit. These models are designed for mounting through an opening in a wall. These units can be adapted to window installation by purchasing an optional window mounting kit. Consult your dealer to choose the kit that is appropriate for your model and installation.

• Unit with a separate sleeve

Some Builder models are designed such that the outer case and the chassis can be purchased separately. Through-the-wall installation instructions are included with the outer case. These models can be adapted to window installation by purchasing an optional mounting kit.

Room Heat Pumps

As outdoor temperatures drop, the heating capacity and efficiency of the heat pump declines. At temperatures below 45°F, it is likely that ice will form on the outdoor coil. Heat pump units are designed to operate as a heat pump above approximately 40°F. Below 40°F, these units switch automatically from reverse cycle heat pump to auxiliary electric heating. No defrost is required. There is no minimum operating temperature.

Front Grille and Filter Removal

The front contains a removable grille that provides easy access to the air filter. To clean the filter use one of the following methods for filter removal:

METHOD ONE

Grasp filter handle and slide filter out of unit.

Optional Air Filter Installation

Remove air filter from plastic bag. Insert three tabs on right side of filter into three slots on filter frame. Carefully bow middle of filter until two tabs on filter can be inserted into two slots on filter frame. Relax bow.

Reinstall air filter and grille by reversing removal procedure.

Front Grille and Cabinet Cleaning

Grille and cabinet may be cleaned with warm water and mild soap or detergent. Cleaning and polishing compounds are not recommended, as they may damage plastic surfaces.

Air Filter Cleaning

A dirty air filter reduces operating efficiency of unit. Filter should be inspected at least once every week during operation. Clean filter with vacuum cleaner or wash in warm water and mild detergent. Filter should be thoroughly dried before replacing in unit. Do not operate unit without filter in place.

Fan Motor Care

The fan motor is permanently lubricated for long life. There is no need to oil the motor.

Slide-out Chassis Removal from Outer Case

1. Remove front grille by sliding grille to left and pulling out.

2. Remove air filter by sliding to left.

3. Remove four screws holding plastic front to unit and remove front.

4. If the unit has a screw holding the basepan clip to the chassis, remove the screw.

General Operating Instructions

While operation of all units is similar, controls vary slightly from model to model. Operating Controls section shows control panel of unit purchased and gives detailed information about operation of controls.

Initial Start-Up and Cooling

Select the highest fan speed and set temperature control to its coldest position. When the desired temperature is reached, slowly move the temperature control toward a warmer setting until the compressor shuts off. The thermostat will then cycle the compressor on and off to maintain this selected temperature. Adjust the fan speed for desired air circulation.

Drain Cup Installation and Use (on some models)

Your air conditioner uses a system where the water removed from the indoor air (condensate) is channeled to the outdoor side of the unit. The outdoor fan blade has a “slinger” ring attached to it that dips into the water and slings the water onto the outdoor coil surface. This is the sound of water you hear during normal operation. The water quickly evaporates on this warm surface and improves the efficiency of your air conditioner. In normal conditions the unit can evaporate the water as fast as it is removed from the indoor air.

However, in very humid conditions excess amounts of water may drip off the unit chassis. If this proves to be a problem, install the condensate drain cup included with the unit to route excess water where it would not be a problem (see illustration below). To install, remove the unit chassis from the outer case. Insert the condensate drain cup through the recessed ½” hole on the right side bottom flange of the outer case. Once inserted, place a ½” diameter hose or tube on the drain cup bottom spout. The hose allows you to route where you want the excess water to go. Reinsert the unit chassis into the outer case. The unit basepan overflow hole will be positioned directly above the drain cup and will catch any water that might run out.

Changing Airflow Direction Baffles

Airflow on unit may be diverted left or right from center by baffles. Upward and downward air discharge is provided by tilting louvers. Adjust baffles and tilt louvers for desired airflow pattern.

Airflow Around Unit

Check the indoor grille and outdoor louvers for obstructions to airflow. Do not block the airflow to and from the unit. If air is obstructed and/or deflected back into the unit, the air conditioner’s compressor may cycle on and off rapidly. This could damage your unit.

To access and engage emergency switch:

1. Remove front grille, air filter, and plastic front, as de-

scribed in Installation Instructions.

2. Remove basepan clip.

3. Slide chassis out of case about two inches.

4. Locate access hole for emergency switch above label on

right front of control box.

5. To start emergency heat, insert flathead screwdriver into

slot and turn counterclockwise until switch-stop is reached.

6. Return chassis to case.

7. Replace basepan clip, plastic front, air filter, and front

grille.

Cool Mode

Use the Coolmode at Low, Med, High orAuto Fan Speed for cooling. Use the Temperature Increase 

/Decrease pads to set the desired temperature between 61°F and 86°F in 1°F increments.

The compressor will cycle on and off to keep the room at the set level of comfort. Set the thermostat at a lower number and the indoor air will become cooler. Set the thermostat at a higher number and the indoor air will become warmer.

NOTE:If the air conditioner is off and is then turned on while set to a Cool setting or if turned from a fan setting to a Coolsetting, it may take approximately 3 minutes for the compressor to start and cooling to begin.

This time delay is required to protect the compressor.

Cooling Descriptions

For Normal Cooling—Select the Cool mode and Highor Med fan with a middle set temperature.

For Maximum Cooling—Select the Cool mode andHighfan with a lower set temperature.

For Quieter & Nighttime Cooling—Select the Coolmode and Lowfan with a middle set

temperature.

Energy Saver Mode

Controls the fan. ON—The fan will cycle on and off with the

compressor. This results in wider variations of

room temperature and humidity. Normally used when the room is unoccupied.NOTE: The fan may

continue to run for a short time after the compressor cycles off.

OFF—The fan runs all the time, while the compressor cycles on and off.

Fan Only Mode

Use the Fan Only Mode at Low, Med or Highfan speed to provide air circulation and filtering without cooling. Since fan only settings do not provide cooling, a Set temperature cannot be entered. The room temperature will appear in the display.

NOTE: Auto Fan Speed cannot be used when in the Fan Only Mode.

Heat Mode (On some models)

Use the Heat mode at Low, Med, High or Auto Fan Speed for heating. Use the

between 61°F and 86°F in 1°F increments.

Auto Fan Speed

Set to Auto fan speed for the fan speed to auto- matically set to the speed needed to provide opti- mum comfort settings with the set temperature.

If the room needs more cooling, the fan speed will automatically increase. If the room needs less cooling, the fan speed will automatically decrease.

NOTE: Auto Fan Speed cannot be used when in the Fan Only Mode.

Power Outage Recovery Feature

In the case of a power outage or interruption, the unit will automatically re-start in the settings last used after the power is restored. If the
