INDOOR COIL
If the split-system coil has only been operated with a clean
filter in place, it should require minimal cleaning.
If coil cleaning is required, call your dealer for service. It may
be necessary to clean the coil with a detergent solution and
nnse it with water. This could require the removal of the coil.
You should not attempt this yourself.
OUTDOOR COIL
If grass clippings, leaves, shrubbery, and debris are kept away
from the outdoor unit, minimal care should be sufficient to
keep the system functioning properly. For proper drainage,
debris must be removed periodically from the base pan. How-
ever, if the outdoor coil becomes dirty, use a vacuum cleaner
or shop vac with soft brush attachment to clean the exterior
surface. Vacuum coil surface using an up and down motion. Be
careful not to bend or damage fins.
If dirt is deep in the coil, contact your dealer for service. The
outdoor fan motor may have to be disconnected and the top
panel removed to gain access to the coil t\_rthorough cleaning.
Do not attempt this yourself.
OUTDOOR COILmSEA COAST
If your unit is located near the ocean, special maintenance is
required. Ocean mist/breeze carries salt, which is corrosive to
most metals. Although your new unit is made out of galvanized
metal and is protected by top-grade paint, you should take the
precaution of additional maintenance which consists of peri-
odically washing the unit. By washing all exposed surfaces and
coil, you will be adding additional life to your unit. Please con-
sult your installing contractor t\_r proper intervals/procedures
for your geographic area or service contact.
UNIT SUPPORT
Yonr split-system ontdoor nnit should be maintained at a level
position. If its support should shift or settle so that the unit is
no longer level, you should correct the condition. Relevel it
promptly to assure water drains out of the unit. If you notice
that water or ice collects beneath the unit, arrange for it to be
drained away from the unit.
Heat pumps installed in snowbelt areas should be elevated with
support feet or a snow stand.
BEFORE YOU REQUEST A
"SERVICE CALL"
CHECK FOR THESE EASILY SOLVED
PROBLEMS:
• Check the indoor and outdoor disconnect switches. Verily
that circuit breakers are ON or that fuses have not blown.
• Check t\_rsufficient airflow. Check the air filter(s) t\_r any
accumulations of dirt. Check t\_rblocked return-air or supply-
air registers. Be sure registers are open and unobstructed.
• Check the settings on your indoor thermostat. If you desire
cooling, make sure that the temperature control selector is set
below room temperature and the SYSTEM or MODE control
is set to COOL or AUTO. If you require warmth, make sure
that the temperature control selector is set above room temper-
ature and the SYSTEM or MODE control is set to HEAT or
AUTO. The FAN control should be set to ON t\_rcontinuous
blower operation or AUTO if you wish blower to function only
while your heat pump is operating.
If your comt\_rt system still fails to operate, turn your system
off and contact your servicing dealer t\_r troubleshooting and
repairs. Specify your apparent problem, and state the model
and serial numbers of your equipment. (You should have them
recorded on the last page of this booklet.) With this informa-
tion, your dealer may be able to offer helpfnl suggestions over
the phone or save valuable time through knowledgeable prep-
aration t\_rthe service call.
