Congratulations . . .
On your purchase of one of the most versatile comfort conditioning systems available in the industry today. This high efficiency system has been precision designed, manufactured of high quality materials and has passed many vigorous inspections and tests to ensure years of satisfactory service.
This booklet is meant to increase your understanding of your system, tell you how to operate it efficiently and how to obtain the greatest measure of comfort at the lowest operating expense. Please read this booklet thoroughly.
We appreciate your interest in our product and your decision to purchase our system. Enjoy your comfort.
This high efficiency air conditioning system has been precision engineered, manufactured of high quality materials, and has been passed many rigorous tests and inspections to ensure years of satisfactory service. That's why you can rely on efficient, trouble-free operation.
Your system is fully automatic. Set the thermostat and forget it. And it's automatically protected from damage by voltage fluctuations or excessive heating or cooling demands.
Your split system air conditioner consists of two units - one installed outdoors and one installed indoors. The indoor unit may be installed in a basement, attic, or crawl space.
HOW YOUR AIR CONDITIONER WORKS
If your hand is wet and you blow on it, it feels cool because some of the moisture is evaporating and becoming a vapor. This process requires heat. The heat is being taken from your hand, so your hand feels cool.
That's what happens with an air conditioner. During the cooling cycle, your system will remove heat and humidity from your home and will transfer this heat to the outdoor air.
SYSTEM OPERATION
Your thermostat puts full control of the comfort level in your home at your fingertips.
DO NOT switch your thermostat rapidly “On" and “Off" or between “Heat" to “Cool" This could damage your equipment. Always allow at least 5 minutes between changes.

FIGURE 1:Typical Thermostat
SETTING THE THERMOSTAT
System Off - On stand by: No heating, cooling, or blower air. Set system switch to “Off" and fan switch to “Auto".
Fan Only - On moderate days, usually during spring and fall, when neither heating nor cooling is required, you may want to run only the fan to ventilate, circulate and filter the air in your home or building. Set the system switch to “OFF” and the fan switch to “ON”. Be sure to return the switches to their original positions for normal operation.
Cooling - To operate the air conditioner, set system switch to “Cool", fan switch to “Auto", and the temperature selector lever to the desired temperature. For a cooler temperature, set lever to lower number. For less cooling, set lever to higher number.
Heating - To operate the furnace for heat, set system switch to “Heat", fan switch to “Auto", and the temperature selector lever to the desired temperature. For a higher temperature, set lever to higher number. For a lower temperature, set the lever to a lower number.
Continuous Air Circulation - Regardless of whether heating or cooling the home: Set fan switch to “On", system switch to either “Heat" or “Cool" and the temperature selector lever to the desired temperature. This provides continuous air filtering and more even temperature distribution to all conditioned spaces. The sound level within the home/building will also remain relatively constant.
To operate a Programmable/Electronic thermostat: Refer to its User's Manual.
Set your thermostat for heating or for cooling. Then set it for the desired temperature. Find the temperature that is most comfortable for you, and then leave your thermostat alone. Manually moving the thermostat up or down to extreme settings will not speedup temperature changes.
Avoid moving the thermostat up during heating - particularly where a demand type electric meter is installed and electric furnace is installed for heating. This will increase your operating cost substantially.
The main power to the system must be kept “ON" at all times to prevent damage to the outdoor unit compressor. If necessary, the thermostat control switch should be used to turn the system “OFF". Should the main power be disconnected or interrupted for 8 hours or longer, DO NOT attempt to start the system for 8 hours after the power has been restored to the outdoor unit. If heat is needed during this 8 hour period, use emergency heat.
