IMPORTANT FACTS
To better protect your investment and to eliminate unnecessary service calls, familiarize yourself with the following facts:
• Your heat pump system should never be operated without a clean air filter properly installed. Plan to inspect the filter periodically. A
clogged air filter will increase operating costs and shorten the life of the unit,
• Supply-air and return-air registers should not be blocked. Drapes, furniture, and toys are some of the items commonly found obstruct-
ing grilles. Restricted airflow lessens the unit's efficiency and life span,
• The outdoor unit must have unrestricted airflow, Do not cover the unit, lean anything against it, or stand upon it, Do not allow grass
clippings, leaves, or other debris to accumulate around or on top of the unit, Maintain a 12-in, minimum clearance between the
outdoor unit and tall grass, vines, shrubs, etc,
• Your multipuq?ose indoor thermostat is the control center for your heat pump system.You should lhmiliarize yourself with its proper
operation, Attempting to control the system by other means--for instance, switching the electrical supply power ON and OFF--may
cause damage to the unit.
• During heating, increasing the thermostat more than 2 degrees may cause the supplemental heaters to be turned on to satisfy the
thermostat, Needless use of the supplementary heat reduces potential enelgy savings.
• You may find that you can maintain grexLter personal comfort by running the fan continuously. Air pockets can fon_n due to the structure
of the house, placement of registers, etc. These air pockets may be too cool or wan_n for your liking. Continuous lhn operation minimizes
any temperature differences. Also, systems equipped with electronic air clexmers and/or humidifiers offer the added benefits of having the
air continuously cleaned year-round, and humidified during the winter season,
• Your heat pump will remove humidity from your home during the cooling season, After a few minutes of operation, you should be
able to see water trickle from the condensate drain of the indoor cooling coil, Check this occasionally to be sure the drain system is
not clogged. Of course, don't expect to see much drainage if you live in a very dry environment,
