IMPORTANT FACTS
To better protect your investment and to eliminate
unnecessary service calls, familiarize yourself with the
following facts:
FIRE, EXPLOSION, ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service,
maintenance or use could cause fire, electrical shock
or other conditions which may cause personal injury,
death or property damage.
accumulate around or on top ofthe unit. Maintain a 12-in.
minimum clearance between the outdoor unit and tall
grass, vines, shrubs, et cetera.
• Your multipurpose indoor thermostat is the control center
for your air conditioning system. You should familiarize
yourself with its proper operation. Attempting to control
the system by other means - for instance, switching the
electrical supply power ON and OFF - may cause
damage to the unit.
• Thermostat "jiggling" causes rapid-cycling, which is
potentially damaging to the compressor. Do not move the
temperature selector on the thermostat for any reason for
at least 5 minutes after the compressor has shut off.
• 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 building, placement of
registers, et cetera. These air pockets may be too cool or
warm for your liking. Continuous fan operation minimizes
any temperature differences. Also, systems equipped
with electronic air cleaners and/or humidifiers offer the
added benefits of having the air continuously cleaned
year-round, and humidified during the winter season.
• Your air conditioner will remove humidity from your home
during the cooling season. After a few 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.
Ofcourse, don't expect to see much drainage if you live in
a very dry environment.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installation and servicing of air-conditioning equipment
can be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical
components. Only trained and qualified personnel should
install, repair, or service air-conditioning equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance
functions of cleaning coils and filters. All other operations
should be performed by trained service personnel. When
working on air-conditioning equipment, observe
precautions in the literature, tags, and labels attached to
the unit, and other safety precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work
gloves. Use quenching cloth for unbrazing operations.
Have fire extinguisher available for all brazing operations.
Refer to this manual. For assistance or additional
information consult a qualified installer, service
agency, distributor, or branch. The qualified installer or
agency must use only factory authorized kits or
accessories when modifying this product.
• Your air conditioning system should never be operated
without a clean air filter properly installed. Plan to inspect
the filter monthly and replace if dirty. A clogged air filter
will increase operating costs and shorten the life of the
unit.
• Supply-air and return-air registers should not be
blocked. Drapes, furniture, and toys are some of the
items commonly found obstructing grilles. Restricted
airflow lessens the unit's efficiency and life span.
• Outdoor units must have unrestricted airflow. Do not
cover the unit, lean anything against it, or stand upon it.
Do not allow grass clippings, leaves, or other debris to
