UNIT INTRODUCTION
Tiffs 48JZ unit is a small packaged gas heat/electric heat pump
system that can utilize both the efficiency ol' heat pump heating
and the comfort of gas heating. The system will optimize lk)r ideal
heating, depending on several factors. This unit uses Puron_Z the
ozone friendly refrigerant lbr cooling and heat pump heating.
Starting or Shutting Unit Off
1. To start the unit:
a. Turn on the electrical and gas power supply to unit.

OPERATING YOUR UNIT
The operation ol' your system is controlled by the indoor tempera-
ture control (lk_r 48JZ, either a Tt_ermidistat
TM
or dual fuel
thermostat is required). You simply adjust the thermostat and it
maintains the indoor temperature at the level you select. Most
thermostats of heating and cooling systems have 3 controls: a
temperature control selector, a FAN control, and a SYSTEM or
MODE control. Refer to your thermostat owner's manual for more
inlkmnation.

To better pn)tect your in'vestment and to eliminate um]ecessary
service calls, familiarize yourself with the following facts:
1. During heat pump heating, increasing the thermostat setting
more than 2°F may cause the supplemental gas heat to be
turned on for a short period ol' time to satisl_ the thermostat.
Needless use of the supplementary heat reduces potential
energy savings.
2. Ice or frost tends to lbrm on the coil during winter heating
operation. Your heat pump is designed to automatically melt
the ice. When in this defrost cycle, it is normal for steam or
fog to rise from the outdoor unit. Do not be alarmed!
Step 1--Cooling Mode
With the SYSTEM or MODE control set to COOL, your unit will
run in cooling mode until the indoor temperature is lowered to the
level you have selected. On extremely hot days, your unit will run
lk_r longer periods at a time and have shorter "ofl" periods than on
moderate days.
Step 2--Heat Pump Heating Mode
With the SYSTEM or MODE control ol' your indoor thermostat set
to HEAT, your unit will run in heat pump heating mode until room
temperature is raised to the level you have selected. Of course,
your system will run for longer periods to maintain a comfortable
environment on cooler days and nights than on moderate ones.
Step 3--Gas Heat Mode
Your heat pump is your primary heating source. Your system is
also be equipped with a supplemental gas heating source. On cold
days and nights, your system will automatically turn on the
supplemental heat in order to maintain the level ol' comlk)rt you
have selected.
