IMPORTANT FACTS
To better protect your investlnent and to eliminate unnecessary service calls, familiarize yourself with the following facts:
• Your heat pulnp system should never be operated without a clean air filter properly installed. Plan to inspect the filter periodically. 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, fim_imre, and toys are SOlneof the items
colranonly
found obstruct-
ing grilles. Restricted airflow lessens the unit's efficiency and life span.
• The outdoor unit lnUSthave umestricted airflow. Do not cover the
unit,
lean anything against it, or stand upon it. Do not allow grass
clippings, leaves, or other debris to accumulate around or on top of the unit. Maintain a 12-in. lninilnum clearance between the
outdoor unit and tall grass, vines, slmlbs, etc.
• Your lnultipurpose indoor therlnostat is the control center for your heat pump system.You should fhmiliarize yourself with its proper
operation. Attelnpting to control the system by other lneans for instance, switching the electrical supply power ON and OFF may
cause damage to the unit.
• During heating, increasing the therlnostat more than 2 degrees may cause the supplelnental heaters to be turned on to satisfy the
therlnostat. Needless use of the supplelnentary heat reduces potential eneigy savings.
•
You may find that you cm_maintain greater personal COliR'ort b y rtuming t]_efan continuously. Air pockets can forln due to the structure
of the house, placelnent of registers, etc. These air pockets lnay be too cool or warm for your lilting. Continuous fan operation lilinililizes
any telnperature dift_rences. Also, systems equipped with electronic air cleaners and/or humidifiers oft_r the added benefits ofhavhag the
air continuously cleaned year-round, and humidified during the winter season.
• Your heat pump will relnove humidity froln your holne during the cooling season. After a few lninutes of operation, you should be
able to see water trickle from the condensate drain of the indoor cooling coil. Check this occasionally to be sure the drain system is
not clogged. Of course, don't expect to see lnuch drainage if you live in a very dry enviromnent.
• During the heating cycle, air froln your registers may seem cool. This is because the air is being delivered at a higher velocity and a
lnore constant flow than air supplied by a conventional fitrnace. Also, your heat pump supplies air at 85 ° to 90°F instead of in sudden
bursts of hot air as with a conventional fimmce. The air may feel cool because it is slightly lower than your body telnperamre.
However, it is sufficiently warm to keep you COlnfortable.
• Ice or frost will tend to forln on the outdoor coil during the winter heating operation.Your heat pump is designed to autolnatically
melt the ice. When in this defrost cycle, it is norlnal for steam or fog to rise froln the outdoor unit. Do not be alarmed!
