Problem Possible cause

A central air conditioner is not a household
appliance, tt's a complex self-contained system
that requires 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 tile simple maintenance
recommended inthis manual, you should not
attempt to make any adjustments to your central air
conditioning system.Your dealer will be able totake
careof any questions or problemsyou may have.
Keepyour air conditioner looking
like new for years.
Clean the enamel finish of your air conditioner
with ordinary soap and water. For stubborn
grease spots, use a household detergent.
Lacquer thinner or other synthetic solvents may
damage the finish.
IMPORTANT: if you have a cooting coil installed
with your unit, condensate drains should be
checked and cleaned periodically to assure that
condensate can drain freely from coil to drain. If
condensate cannot drain freely water damage
could occur.

like all good things, the Trane-provided limited

offers you the Extended Warranty Program. It

reliable protection at a low cost. Ask your dealer
for program details.
The Trane Extended Warranty provides:
1. The opportunity to purchase coverage in
five, or ten year increments.
2. Coverage that may include parts only or
parts and labor for the duration of the
agreement. Be certain you read the
Extended Warranty for complete details
and exclusions.
3. Service work performed by servicers
knowledgeable of the operation of Trane
equipment.
Insulation
1. Make sure your home isproperly insulated.
This is the single most important step incon-
serving energy. Thermal insulation should
be specified in terms of thermal resistance
(R-values). R-30 (10")is recommended for
ceilings, R-11 (3½") for exterior walls and
floors over unheated areas. In colder
climates, consider additional insulation.
2. Infiltration of humid outside air is your heat-
ing and cooling system's worst enemy -- it
could account for 15 to 30% of air condition-
ing energy requirements. Find the places
where air can sneak intothe home and plug
them up with caulking, weatherstripping or
plastic. Also weatherstrip and caulk around
all entrance doors and windows.
Extra Energy Tips,
3. Cut heat transfer through your windows by
40 to 50% with double glazing (two panes of
glass separated by a sealed air space).
4. Use wood or metal-frame storm windows
even if single-glazed windows are high
quality. The extra layer of glass and the layer
of still air will cut heat transfer considerably.
5. Install storm doors at all entrances to your
house.
6. Keep all windows and doors closed.
7. Remember that by increasing the glass
area, you increase the amount of heat
added in summer and lost in winter.
8. Keep the overhead door of an attached
garage closed. This will block cold winds
from infiltrating the connecting door
between the house and garage.
9. Make sure fireplaces have tight-fitting
dampers which can be closed when the
fireplace is not in use.
10. Invest in a humidifier to conserve energy in
wintertime. The air in your home won't be as
dry, so you stay comfortable at a lower
temperature setting.
Heating
11. Locate the thermostat on an inside wall
away from windows and doors.
12. Set the thermostat as low as comfort
permits. Each degree over 68°F can add 3%
to the amount of energy needed for heating.
