PH4Z: Owner's Information Manual
airflow across the coil and reduce the amount of heat absorbed from the
outside air. So, to maintain energy-efficient operation, your unit has an
automatic defrost mode.
The defrost mode starts at a preset time interval of 60 minutes, although,
it may be reset to 30, 90 or 120 minutes. Defrost will start at the preset
time only if the ice is sufficient to interfere with normal heating
operation.
After the ice is melted from the coil, or after a maximum of 10 minutes
in defrost mode, the unit automatically switches back to normal heating
operation.
Do not be alarmed if steam or fog appears at 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 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.
During defrost mode, your heat pump will automatically turn on the
supplemental heat, if equipped. You may notice the indoor fan increase
its speed.
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 office
warm until your unit can be serviced. Contact your dealer in the event of
primary unit heat failure.
During Emergency Heat, your thermostat will lockout the heat pump and
turn on the supplemental heat, if equipped. You may notice the indoor
fan increase its speed.
Maintenance and Service
This section discusses maintenance that should be performed by your
dealer and care you, as the owner, may wish to handle for your new unit.
Routine Maintenance
All routine maintenance should be handled by skilled, experienced
personnel. Your dealer can help you establish a standard procedure.
To assure proper functioning of the unit, flow of condenser air 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 in. [1067 mm] clearance).
Maintenance and Care for the Equipment Owner
Before proceeding with those things you might want to maintain
yourself, please carefully consider the following:
WARNING
!
FIRE, EXPLOSION, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, 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
AND INSTALL A LOCK-OUT TAG.
2.
When removing access panels or performing
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.
Manufacturer reserves the right to change, at any time, specifications and designs without notice and without obligations.
Air Filters
The air filter(s) should be checked every 3 or 4 weeks 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.
Table 1
indicates the correct indoor filter size for your unit.
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.
FIRE AND UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death or
property damage.
Never operate your unit without filters in place. An accumulation of
dust and lint on internal parts of your unit can cause loss of efficiency.
Fans and Fan Motor
Periodically check the condition of fan wheels and housings and
fan-motor shaft bearings. Contact your dealer for the required annual
maintenance.
Indoor and Outdoor Coils
