The continuous indoor blower operation can be
obtained with the thermostat system switch set
in any position, including
OFF.
The continuous
indoor
blower
operation
is
typically
used to circulate
the indoor air to
equalize a temperature
unbalance due to a sun
load, cooking, or fireplace operation.
To Maintain Your Air Conditioner--
CAUTION:
Be certain the electrical
power to the
outdoor unit and the furnace/air
handler
is disconnected
before
doing
the
following
recommended
maintenance.
1. Regularly:
a. Clean or replace the indoor air filter at the
start of each heating and cooling season,
and when an accumulation of dust and dirt
is visible on the air filter.
b. Remove any leaves and grass clippings
from the coil in the outdoor
unit, being
careful not to damage the aluminum fins.
c. Check for any obstruction,
such as twigs,
sticks, etc.
2.
Before Each Cooling Season:
If the furnace/air handler blower motor and
the outdoor unit fan motor(s) have oil tubes
at the motor bearings, apply 10 drops of
SAE No. 20 motor oil to each oil tube.
CAUTION:
Do not over-oil,
or oil motors
not
factory-equipped
with oil tubes.
The
compressor
is hermetically
"sealed"
and does not require
lubrication.
3.
Before
Calling a Service
Technician,
Be Certain:
a. The unit thermostat
is properly set -- see
"To Operate
Your Air Conditioner
for
Cooling" and "To Operate Your Furnace
for Heating."
b. The
unit disconnect
fuses are in good
condition, and the electrical power to the
unit is turned on.
