Maintenance

Removing the filter is easy.See the owners
manual furnished with the indoor unit. Just be
sure to replace it with the arrows on it pointing
in the direction of the airflow.
Cut operating costs by keeping
outdoor unit clearof debris,
leaves and shrubbery.
Efficient operation of your air conditioner
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.
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 that your outdoor unit is kept clear
at all times helps it work at peak efficiency. And
that helps you save money.
IMPORTANT: Whenever your house is to be
vacant, arrange to have someone inspect
your house for proper temperature. This is
very important in below freezing weather. If
for any reason your heating system should
fail to operate, damage could result, such as
frozen water pipes.
Just set the temperature you want.
Here's how: place the system switch on COOL,
and the fan switch on AUTO. Then set the
temperature by using the indicator on the
thermostat* control.
Now your system wilt cool your house whenever
the indoor temperature climbs above the
thermostat setting. It wilt shut off when the
desired room temperature is reached.
tn winter, it works the same way. When the
system switch is on HEAT, the system will
operate whenever the room temperature falls
below the temperature setting. Once the desired
temperature is reached, the system will shut off.
Carefully read the accompanying thermostat
manual for operating instructions.

How to operate your system
to save electricity.
four setup or setback periods each day, plus
weekend and vacation programs, tt saves energy
while it keeps you comfortable day or night.
Let the thermostatdo its job.
Your system will perform most efficiently when
you let the thermostat control it. Turning the
system on and off manually is usually much less
efficient. So let the thermostat do its job.You'll
be sure to save energy.
We recommend keeping the temperature setting
at 78°F for cooling, 68°F for heating. But you
can select the temperature you're most comfort-
able with.
The point is, once you've set the thermostat,
keep subsequent adjustments to a minimum.
At all other times, let the thermostat keep you
comfortable. And keep energy bills down.
Don'twaste money heating and
cooling when you don't needto.
When you're going to be away from home for a
few days -- or when outdoor temperatures are
moderate -- don't let the air conditioner run
unnecessarily. Lower the thermostat to 55°F in
the winter. And raise it to 85°F in summer. Then
when you return -- or when temperature
conditions dictate -- you can reset the system
and it will immediately begin making your home
comfortable again.
Never stop the system by shutting
off the main power.
tf the main power isever disconnected for more
than three hours, turn off the thermostat. Then
wait for at least three more hours after the
power has been restored before turning the
thermostat back on. Failure to fotlow this
procedure could result in damage to your
system.
IMPORTANT: If unit is not operational during
the cold weather months, provisions must be
taken to prevent freeze-up of all water pipes
and water receptacles.
How to help reduce
summer humidity.
tn summer, your air conditioner does more than
cool the air.It also helps remove the excess
moisture that can make the inside of your home
feel muggy. When removing this moisture your
system must work harder than when simply
cooling the air.
That's why kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms
should have vents and exhaust fans. These
devices help prevent accumulation of moisture
throughout the rest of the house. So your air
conditioner works less to keep you comfortable.
And that helps keep operating cost down.
