How it works to keep you comfortable
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Trane outdoor unit.
Your outdoor unit is designed to work with a matched indoor unit
creating a system that delivers years of dependable service and
performance.
Your system will cool, filter, and dehumidify the air in your home.
Additionally, a heat pump heats the air in your home.
As the system circulates air, it also filters it. The system also extracts
excess moisture from the home to help control humidity in muggy

summer months.
Acquaint yourself with your new system by spending just a few minutes
with this booklet. Learn about the operation of your system and the small
amount of maintenance it takes to keep it operating at peak efficiency.
Proper maintenance for maximum efficiency
An outdoor unit is not a household
appliance. It’s a self‑contained system
that requires professional maintenance
and repair.
That’s why attempts at “do‑it‑yourself”
repairs on an in‑warranty unit may void
the remainder of your warranty.
Other than performing the simple
maintenance recommended in this
manual, you should not attempt to make
any adjustments to your system. Your
dealer will be able to take care of any
questions or problems you may have.
Help ensure top efficiency by cleaning
or replacing the filter monthly.*
When your system circulates and filters
the air in your home, dust and dirt
To prevent injury, death, or property
damage, read and follow all instructions
and warnings, including labels shipped
with or attached to unit before operating
your new outdoor system.
Disconnect all electrical power to the
indoor air handler or furnace before
removing access panels to perform any
maintenance. Disconnect power to both
the indoor and outdoor units. NOTE:
There may be more than one electrical
disconnect switch. Electric shock can
cause personal injury or death.
Although special care has been taken to
minimize sharp edges in the construction
of your unit, be extremely careful when
handling parts or reaching into the unit.

particles build up on the filter. Excessive
accumulation can block the airflow,
forcing the unit to work harder to maintain
desired temperatures. And the harder
your unit works, the more energy it uses.
Clean or replace your filter twice a month
during seasons when the unit runs more
often.
When replacing your filter(s), always use
the same size and type that was originally
supplied. Filters are available from your
dealer.
Where disposable filters are used, they
must be replaced every month with the
same size as originally supplied.
How to remove your filter.*
Ask your Trane dealer where the filter
is located in your system and how to
service it.
Just be sure to replace it with the arrows
pointing in the direction of the airflow.
* Before removing the filter, see the owner’s manual
furnished with the indoor unit.
Efficiency can be maintained
by keeping the outdoor unit clear
of snow, ice and debris.
Efficient operation of your outdoor unit
depends on the free flow of air over the
coil. Anything that blocks the airflow
causes the compressor to work harder
to move the warm air out of your house.
Buildup of snow and ice can restrict
airflow. As soon as possible after
accumulation, clean snow from the area
around the outdoor unit.
To avoid overworking your unit, do not
plant flowers or shrubbery right next to
it. Also, make sure that nothing is stacked
against the sides of the unit or draped
over it.
Making sure your outdoor unit is kept
clear at all times helps it work at peak
efficiency.

Proper maintenance (continued)
Keep your outdoor unit
looking new for years.
Clean the enamel finish of your outdoor
unit with soap and water. For stubborn
grease spots, use a household detergent.
Do not use lacquer thinner or other
synthetic solvents as they may damage
the finish.
Call your dealer for additional
routine maintenance.
Your outdoor unit should be inspected
regularly by a properly trained service
technician.

How to operate your system for peak performance
Setting the temperature.
Place the system switch on COOL, and
the fan switch on AUTO. Then set the
temperature by using the indicator on the
thermostat* control.
Now your system will cool your house
whenever the indoor temperature
climbs above the thermostat setting.
It will shut off when the desired room
temperature is reached.
In winter, it works the same way. When the
system switch is on HEAT, the system will
operate whenever the room temperature
falls below the temperature setting. Once
the desired temperature is reached, the
system will shut off.
Save energy with a
programmable thermostat.*
Program the thermostat for the
temperatures that meet your comfort
level. The Trane programmable thermostat
has up to four setup or setback periods
each day, plus weekend and vacation
programs.
* Accessory, purchased separately. Carefully read the
accompanying thermostat manual for complete
operating instructions.
Let the thermostat do its job.
Your system will perform most efficiently
when you let the thermostat control it.
Turning the system on and off manually
is usually much less efficient. So let the
thermostat do its job.
We recommend keeping the temperature
setting at 78°F for cooling, 68°F for
heat ing. However, you can select the
temperature that meets your comfort level.
The point is, once you’ve set the
thermostat, keep subsequent adjustments
to a minimum.
When you’re going to be away from
home for a few days, or when outdoor
temperatures are moderate, don’t let the
outdoor unit run unnecessarily. Lower
the thermostat to 55°F in the winter.
And raise it to 85°F in summer. Then
when you return, or when temperature
conditions dictate, you can reset the
system and it will resume making your
home comfortable again.
How to help reduce summer humidity.
In summer, your outdoor unit does more
than cool the air — it helps remove the
excess moisture that can make the inside
of your home feel muggy.
If heating system is not operational during
the cold weather months, provisions must
be taken to prevent freeze-up of all water
pipes and water receptacles. This is very
important during times of vacancy.
When removing this moisture your system
must work harder than when simply
cooling the air.
That’s why kitchens, bathrooms and
utility rooms should have vents and
exhaust fans. These devices help prevent
accumulation of moisture throughout the
rest of the house so your outdoor unit
works less to keep you comfortable.
Many homeowners have found that
operating their system in continuous fan
mode (thermostat in the “on” position)
offers benefits such as elimination of hot
and cold spots in the home and constant
air filtration. However, continuous fan
mode during cooling operation may not
be appropriate in humid climates. If the
indoor air exceeds 60% relative humidity
or simply feels uncomfortably humid, it is
recommended that the fan only be used
in the AUTO mode.

Extra Energy Tips
Reduce the burden of
unexpected repair bills with
a Trane Extended Warranty.
Trane offers the finest quality products
and manufacturer’s warranties on the
market. But, like all good things, the
Trane-provided limited warranty on your
new comfort equipment will come to an
end. To keep you protected, Trane offers
the Extended Warranty Program. It picks
up right where your Trane limited warranty
leaves off. And, it offers years and years of
reliable protection at a low cost. Ask your
dealer for program details.
Insulation
1. Make sure your home is properly
insulated. This is the single most
important step in conserving
energy. Thermal insulation should
be specified in terms of thermal
resistance (R-values). R-30 (10")
is recommended for ceilings,
R-11 (3-1/2") for exterior walls
and floors over unheated areas. In
colder climates, consider additional
insulation.
2. Infiltration of humid outside air is
your heating and cooling system’s
worst enemy — it could account for
15 to 30% of air conditioning energy
requirements. Find the places where
air can sneak into the home and
plug them with caulking, weatherstripping or plastic. Also, weatherstrip and caulk around all entrance
doors and windows.
3. Cut heat transfer through your
windows by 40 to 50% with
double glazing (two panes of glass
separated by a sealed air space) and
low-e glass.
4. Use wood- or metal-frame storm
windows even if single-glazed
windows are high quality. The extra
layer of glass and the layer of still air
will cut heat transfer considerably.
5. Install storm doors at all entrances
to your house.
6. Keep all windows and doors closed.
7. Remember that by increasing the
glass area, you increase the amount
of heat added in summer and lost in
winter.
8. Make sure fireplaces have
tight-fitting dampers which can be
closed when the fireplace is not in
use.
9. Invest in a humidifier to conserve
energy in winter. The air in your
home won’t be as dry, so you stay
comfortable at a lower temperature
setting.
Heating
10. Locate the thermostat on an inside
wall away from windows and doors.
11. Set the thermostat as low as comfort
permits. Each degree over 68°F can
add 3% to the amount of energy
needed for heating.
12. People generate heat. So lower the
thermostat a degree or two when
expecting a large group of guests.
Cooling
13. Set the thermostat as high as
comfort will permit.
14. Make sure attics are adequately
ventilated to relieve heat buildup.
If necessary, improve airflow by
adding or enlarging vents.
15. When building a new house or
renovating an old one, choose
light-colored roof shingles to reflect
more of the sun’s heat.
16. During moderate weather, don’t use
the system unnecessarily.
17. Draw blinds or drapes to block the
sunlight during the hottest part of
the day.
18. Install awnings over windows
exposed to direct sunlight.
19. In the cooling season, don’t run
kitchen and bath exhaust fans
longer than necessary.
20. Don’t place lamps, TV sets or other
heat producing devices beneath a
wall-mounted thermostat. Rising
heat from the equipment may cause
the system to over-cool your house.
