OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To OperateYour Air Conditioner for Cooling--
Thermostat -- The 15 SEER Air Conditioner
uses a special two speed com pressor to achieve
a high level of efficiency in a compact frame. A
two stage cooling 24VAC thermostat can be
used with these units. For the highest efficiency
the use of a two-stage cooling thermostat is
recommended. Refer to Figure 11 or 12 for a
unit wiring diagram.
Cooling Mode:
1. On a call for cooling the thermostat closes,
applying 24VAC to the G and Y1 terminals
on the control. This closes the compressor
contactor, and the compressor operates on
1st stage.
2. If the thermostat is not satisfied in the
required time, based on the operation of
the two-stage cooling thermostat, Y2 will

BEFOREYOU CALL A SERVICEMAN
Let your serviceman check your system at the
start of each air conditioning season. He will
make sure it's working right, clean or change
filters and make any needed adjustments.
In addition, follow these simple rules:
1. Never run your system without filter. If you
do, the cooling coils will get dirty and may
become clogged.
2. Set your thermostat at the comfort level you
wish -- and then leave it alone. Let it control
the operation of the air conditioning system.
If you get chilly, turn it up a degree at a time
until comfort is restored.
3. It takes longer for an air conditioner to cool
yourdwelling than it does for your furnace to
heat it.Therefore, do not turn the unit on and
expect a dramatic drop in temperature, at
least not right away. If your home is hot and
humid, the temperature will drop slowly.
4. Check yourfilters every ten days in summer
to see if they are dirty. To keep them clean,
use a mild solution of detergent and water
on washable types. Replace non washable
filters.
5. Keep your outdoor condenser coil clean.
You can hose it down when it gets dirty.
If your air conditioner isn't working:
1. Make sure the fuses are not blown or that
your circuit breakers are on.
2. See that your thermostat is set at the desired
temperature and that your system's switch
is on "Cool."
