YOUR COMFORT SYSTEM
Identifying Your System
Tal_ethe time to thmiliarize yourself with the type of system you
have. This kaaowledge will be of use in understanding the basic
operation of your new air conditioner.
The split-system type has an indoor and an outdoor unit, each of
which contains a coil. These units are interconnected by retiqg-
erant robes. (See Fig. 1.)
Each unit has a rating plate affixed to it which provides
necessary inforlnation for specific identification of a unit. You
should thmiliarize yourself with the product, lnodel, and serial
nulnbers listed on each rating plate. Record theln for fimlre ref-
erence on the last page of this booklet.
IMPORTANT FACTS
To better protect your investlnent and to elilninate unnecessary
selwice calls, falniliarize yourself with the following facts:
• Your air conditioning system should never be operated witl_mt
a clean air filter properly installed. Plan to inspect the filter peri-
odically. A clogged air filter will iucrease operating costs aud
shorten the life of the unit.
• Supply-air and return-air registers should not be blocked.
Drapes, filrnimre, and toys are some of the items comlnonly
lbund obstructing grilles. Restricted airflow lessens the unit's effi-
ciency aud life span.
• The outdoor unit lnUSthave unrestricted airflow. Do not cover
the unit, lean anything against it, or stand on it. Do not allow grass
clippings, leaves, or other debris to acculnulate around or on top
of the unit. Maintain a 12-iu. lninilnUln clearauce betweeu the
outdoor unit and tall grass, vines, shrubs, etc.
• Your lnultipurpose indoor therlnostat is the comrol center for
your air conditioning system. You should l:amiliarize yourself
with its proper operation. Attelnpting to control the systeln by
other lneaus for instance, switching the electrical supply power
ON aud OFF may cause damage to the unit.
• Therlnostat 'jiggling" causes rapid-cycling, which is potential-
ly dalnaging to the COlnpressor. Do not lnove the telnperature
selector on the therlnostat for any reason for at least 5 lniuutes
after the colnpressor has shut olt_
• You may find that you can lnaintain greater personal colnfort
by rulming the Fan continuously. Air pockets can form due to the
structure of the house, placelneut of registers, etc. These air pock-
ets may be too cool or warm for your lilting. Continuous l:auoper-
ation lninilnizes any telnperamre differences. Also, systems
equipped with electronic or lnechanical air cleaners and!or
hulnidifiers offer the added benefits of having the air continuously
cleaned year-round, aud hulnidified during the winter season.
• A system equipped with a heat or enel,gy recovery ventilator
offers the advantage of exhausting stale air froln the holne aud
allowing fresh air in fioln the outdoors while miuimizing heat
lOSS.
