of your unit. be extremely
careful
when handling
parts or reaching
into the unit.
•

or improperly
installed
air filter on your indoor
unit will
increase
operating
costs
and shorten
the life of
the unit.

detailed
filter cleaning
information

unit
literature.
•
Do Not Block Floor, Wall or Ceiling
Vents
When
drapes,
furniture,
toys or other
common
household
items
block
vents,
the restricted
airflow
lessens
the system's
efficiency
and life span.
•
Do Not Cover
or Block
Outdoor
Unit
The outdoor
unit needs
unrestricted
airflow.
Do not cover
it or
place items on or next to it. Do not allow grass clippings,
leaves, or
other
debris
to accumulate
on the sides or top of the unit. And,
maintain
a 12"
(304.8
mm)
minimum
clearance
between
the
outdoor
unit and tall grass, vines, shrubs,
etc.
•
Check
Condensate
Drain
Your heat pump
removes
humidity
from
your home
during
the
cooling
season.
After
a few minutes
of operation,
water
should
trickle
from
the condensate
drain
of the indoor
coil. Check
this
occasionally
to be sure the drain
system
is not clogged.
Drainage
will be limited if you live in a very dry environment.
