SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service,
maintenance, or use can cause explosion, fire, electrical shock,
or other conditions which may cause death, personal injury, or
property damage. Consult a qualified installer, service agency,
or your distributor or branch for information or assistance. The
qualified installer or agency must use factory-authorized kits
or accessories when modifying this product. Refer to the
individual instructions packaged with the kits or accessories
when installing.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses, protective
clothing, and work gloves. Use quenching cloth for brazing
operations. Have fire extinguisher available. Read these
instructions thoroughly and follow all warnings or cautions
included in literature and attached to the unit. Consult local
building codes and National Electrical Code (NEC) for special
requirements.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert symbol
/_ When you see this symbol on the unit and in instructions or
manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury.
Understand these signal words: DANGER, WARNING, and
CAUTION. These words are used with the safety-alert
symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which
will result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING
signifies hazards which could result in personal injury or
death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices which
may result in minor personal injury or product and property
damage. NOTE is used to highlight suggestions which will
result in enhanced installation, reliability, or operation.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, main
electrical disconnect switch must be in the OFF position.
There may be more than 1 disconnect switch. Lock out
and tag switch with a suitable warning label.
THERMOSTAT
Your Heat Pump is controlled by the thermostat mounted on your
wall. The thermostat is a highly sensitive low voltage device and
is available in several different configurations from different
manufacturers. The details listed below are typical for most
installations. Ask your dealer for more specific information re-
garding the model of thermostat installed.
Heating Mode
Set the system selector switch to HEAT. The heat pump will run
until the actual room temperature is raised to the point you have
selected.
NOTE: you may see steam (looks like "smoke") coming from
the outdoor unit during cold weather. This is normal as frost is re-
moved from the coil during the defrost cycle.
Cooling Mode
Set the system selector switch to COOL. The air conditioner will
run until the actual room temperature is lowered to the point you
have selected.
Temperature Control
Set the temperature selector to your desired room temperature.
For heating, the heat pump will run any time the actual room tem-
perature falls below the point you have selected. For cooling, the
heat pump will run (as an air conditioner) any time the actual
room temperature rises above the point you have selected.
Fan Control
The fan selector switch allows you to run the fan continuously or
cycle it automatically with the heating or cooling system. Set the
selector switch to ON for continuous operation or to AUTO for
automatic cycling. For maximum comfort satisfaction, continu-
ous fan operation throughout the year is recommended (selector
switch set to ON).
WHAT TO DO IF YOUR SYSTEM DOES
NOT WORK
Before Requesting a Service Call:
1. Check thermostat settings. Make sure to select a temperature
below the actual room temperature. Make sure the system se-
lector switch is in the COOL position.
2. Inspect your return air filter. Replace a dirty filter or clean a
reusable type filter.
3. Check circuit breakers and/or fuses. Reset breakers or replace
fuses as necessary.
4. Inspect the coils and fins on the outdoor unit. Clean away any
obstructions (grass clippings, leaves, dirt, dust, or lint).
Check that branches, twigs, or other debris are not obstructing
the fan blade.
If your system still does not operate,
contact your servicing dealer.
Have the Model and Serial Numbers of the indoor and outdoor
units available and be sure to describe the problem.
