An outdoor unit is not a household appli-
ance. It's a self-contained system that re-
quires professional maintenance and repair.
That's why attempts at "do-it-yourself"
repairs on an in-warranty unit may void
the remainder of your warranty.
Other than performing the simple
main tenance recommended in this man-
ual, you should not attempt to make any
adjustments to your system. Your dealer
will be able to take care of any questions
or problems you may have.
Help ensure top effi ciency by clean-

How it works to
keep you comfortable
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Trane
outdoor unit. Your outdoor unit is designed to work
with a matched indoor unit creating a system that de-
livers years of dependable service and performance.
Your system will cool, fi lter, and dehumidify the air in your
home. Additionally, a heat pump heats the air in your home.
As the system circulates air, it also filters it. The system also extracts
excess moisture from the home to help control humidity in muggy
summer months.

ing the unit to work harder to maintain
desired temperatures. And the harder
your unit works, the more energy it uses.
Clean or replace your filter twice a
month during seasons when the unit
runs more often.
When replacing your filter(s), always
use the same size and type that was
originally supplied. Filters are available
from your dealer.
Where disposable filters are used, they
must be replaced every month with the
same size as originally supplied.
How to remove your fi lter.*
Ask your Trane dealer where the filter
is located in your system and how to
service it.
Just be sure to replace it with the arrows
pointing in the direction of the airflow.
* Before removing the filter, see the owner's manual
furnished with the indoor unit.
Effi ciency can be maintained
by keeping outdoor unit clear
of snow, ice and debris.
Efficient operation of your outdoor unit
depends on the free flow of air over the
coil. Anything that blocks the airflow
causes the compressor to work harder
to move the warm air out of your house.
Buildup of snow and ice can restrict air-
flow. As soon as possible after accumu-
lation, clean snow from the area around
the outdoor unit.
To avoid overworking your unit, do not
plant flowers or shrubbery right next
to it. Also, make sure that nothing is
stacked against the sides of the unit or
draped over it.
Making sure your outdoor unit is kept
clear at all times helps it work at peak
efficiency.
