MAINTENANCE
CLEARANCE CHECK
Clearances around the unit should also be checked to make
sure that the intake air and discharge air paths have not be-
come blocked or restricted. A minimum of eight inches clear-
ance is needed from unit to furniture, beds, or other objects for
proper operation. Restricted discharge or intake air will reduce
the units operational performance. In severe airflow restrictions
damage can occur to unit components such as the compres-
sor, electric heater or fan motor.
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS AND
CONDITIONS
Water Trickling Sounds
Water is picked up and distributed over the coil. This
improves the efficiency and helps with water removal.
Water Dripping
Water will collect in the base pan during high humidity days.
This can cause overflow and drip from the outside of the unit.
Air Sounds
The fan cycle switch sets the operational mode of the fan in
the on position. When the unit is in conditioning mode for ex-
ample high or low heat or cool, the fan will run continuously. In
the AUTO position , the fan will cycle on and off with the com-
pressor or electric heater.
Starting Delay
You may notice a few minutes delay in the starting if you try to
start the unit too soon after turning the unit off. This is due to a
built in delay to protect the compressor.
