How your system works
It is important to understand how your system works. Your unit works as
a heater to heat your home and works as an air conditioner to cool your
home.
Cooling cycle
If your hand is wet and you blow on it, it feels cool because some of the
moisture is evaporating and becoming a vapor. This process requires
heat. The heat is being taken from your hand, so your hand feels cool.
That is what happens with an air conditioner. During the cooling cycle,
your system removes heat and humidity from your home and transfers
this heat to the outdoor air.

Heating cycle (heat pump)
During the heating cycle, your system removes heat and humidity from
the outdoor air and transfers this heat to your home. This is possible
because even 0°F outdoor air contains a great deal of heat. Your heat
pump does not generate much heat: it transfers heat from one place to
another.
Heating cycle (electric heat)
Your unit may be equipped with an optional electric heating element.
This heating element provides additional heat to your home when the
outside temperature is very low and there is not enough heat in the out-
side air to allow the heat pump to keep your home at the required tem-
perature.
Thermostats
Your thermostat is your key to comfort. Although thermostats may vary
widely in appearance, they are all designed to perform the same basic
function: to control the operation of your air conditioning and heating
system.
Regardless of size or shape, each thermostat includes the following:
• A temperature indicator
• A dial, arm, or push button for selecting the required temperature
• A fan switch for selecting the required indoor circulating blower
mode
• A comfort switch for selecting the required mode of system oper-
ation (heating or cooling)
Only approved thermostats have been tested and are fully compatible
with this equipment.
Note: Be aware that many different thermostats operate on batteries or
power stealing principles. These types of thermostats can not be sup-
ported as trouble free when used with this product.
The manufacturer for each thermostat provides complete operating
instructions. Familiarize yourself with the proper operation of your ther-
mostat to obtain maximum comfort levels with minimum energy con-
sumption.
Operating your system
Your thermostat gives you full control of the comfort level in your home.
Do not turn on the thermostat and turn off the thermostat or switch
between cooling and heating modes in rapid succession. This could
damage your equipment. Always allow at least 5 min between changes
to thermostat settings.
Setting the thermostat
CAUTION
!
The main power to the system must be kept ON at all times to prevent
damage to the outdoor unit compressor. If necessary, the thermostat
control switch should be used to turn the system OFF. Should the
main power be disconnected or interrupted for 8 h or longer, do not
attempt to start the system for 8 h after the power has been restored
to the outdoor unit. If heat is needed during this 8 h period, use emer-
gency heat.
