HEATING CYCLE

With HEAT selected, the heating section of your home comfort system will operate until room temperature is raised to the level you
have selected. Of course, the heating unit will have to operate for longer periods to maintain a comfortable environment on cooler
days and nights than on moderate ones.
Refer to your furnace User's Manual for specific information on heating operation.

PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

With the proper maintenance and care, your air conditioning unit will operate economically and dependably. Maintenance can be
accomplished easily by referring to the following directions. However, before performing maintenance, consider these important
safety precautions:
•DISCONNECT ALL ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE AIR CONDITIONER BEFORE REMOVING ACCESS PANELS TO PER-
FORM MAINTENANCE. Disconnect power to both the indoor and outdoor units. NOTE: THERE MAY BE MORE THAN 1
ELECTRICAL DISCONNECT SWITCH.
•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.
CHECK THE AIR FILTER
A dirty air filter will cause excessive strain on the compressor and blower motor. This can cause the components to overheat and
automatically shut down. In the extreme, the components will fail and need to be replaced. To avoid inefficient or failed operation
of your unit, CHECK THE FILTER(S) EVERY 3 TO 4 WEEKS. Replace filter(s) when necessary, or clean the filter(s) if you have
the cleanable type.
Disposable filters should be replaced by similar, new filters of the same dimensions.
Reusable, cleanable filters should be washed in a solution of cold water and mild detergent, then rinsed and thoroughly dried. THE
FILTER MUST BE COMPLETELY DRY BEFORE BEING REINSTALLED.
To avoid prolonged shutdown of your unit while a filter is drying, you should have an extra filter on hand. This would allow you to
rotate between the 2 with minimal downtime of your comfort system. Extra filters may be purchased from your dealer.
There are no filters in the outdoor unit of a split-system. If your indoor unit is a gas or oil furnace, refer to your furnace User's Manual
for filter location and procedures for replacement or cleaning.
