OPERATING TIPS

1. Clean air fi lters maximize effi ciency, and reduce heating costs.
2. During the heating season, keep windows and doors closed to reduce the heating load on the system.
3. Avoid excessive use of kitchen exhaust hoods and other exhaust fans to reduce the heating load on the
system.
4. Arrange the furniture and drapes so that the supply air registers and return air grills are unobstructed.

plastic defl ectors on the supply air registers which tend to short circuit the warm air straight into the return
air grills.

the thermostat.
