Specifications subject to change without notice.
CUT HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal
injury.
Although special care has been taken to minimize sharp
edges in the construction of your unit, be extremely
careful and wear appropriate protective clothing and
gloves when handling parts or reaching into the unit.
CAUTION
!
S Keep Filter Clean
A clogged or improperly installed air filter on your indoor unit
will increase operating costs and shorten the life of the unit.
For detailed filter cleaning information refer to indoor unit
literature.
S Do Not Block Floor, Wall or Ceiling Vents
When drapes, furniture, toys or other common household
items block vents, the restricted airflow lessens the system’s
efficiency and life span.
S Do Not Cover or Block Outdoor Unit
The outdoor unit needs unrestricted airflow. Do not cover it
or place items on or next to it. Do not allow grass clippings,
leaves, or other debris to accumulate on the sides or top of
the unit. And, maintain a 12” (304.8 mm) minimum
clearance between the outdoor unit and tall grass, vines,
shrubs, etc.
S Check Condensate Drain
Your air conditioner removes humidity from your home
during the cooling season. After a few minutes of operation,
water should trickle from the condensate drain of the indoor
coil. Check this occasionally to be sure the drain system is
not clogged. Drainage will be limited if you live in a very dry
environment.
S Do Not Operate Below Minimum Operating
Temperatures in Cooling Mode
Your outdoor unit is not designed to operate below the
minimum temperatures shown below. The minimum
temperature depends on which wall control is being used:
— With Observer
®
Wall Control: 40_F(4.4_C)
— With Thermostat Control: 55_F (12.8_C)
System protections may not allow the unit to operate below
these minimum temperatures.
S Base Pan Drainage
Periodically check for and remove debris that has settled
around the base of your outdoor unit. This will ensure
proper drainage of the base pan and eliminate standing
water inside the outdoor unit.
S Level Installation
Your dealer will install the outdoor unit in a level position. If
the support base s ettles or shifts and the unit is no longer
level, be sure to re- level it promptly to assure proper
drainage. If you notice water or ice collecting beneath the
unit, arrange for it to be drained away from the unit.
SEA COAST COIL MAINTENANCE
Coastal locations often require additional maintenance of
the outdoor unit due to highly corrosive airborne ocean salt.
Although your new system is made of galvanized metal and
is protected by top- grade paint, take the additional
precaution of periodically washing all exposed surfaces and
the outdoor coil approximately every 3 months. Consult your
installing dealer for proper cleaning intervals and
procedures for your geographic area or ask about a service
contract for regularly scheduled professional cleaning and
inspections.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Before you request dealer service, check for these easily
solved problems:
S Check the indoor and outdoor disconnect switches Also
check your main electrical panel circuit breakers or
fuses.
S Turn circuit breaker off for at least 2 minutes, and turn
back on to re - start the system.
S Check for sufficient airflow. Air filter(s) should be
reasonably clean and interior vents should be open and
unobstructed.
S Check Observer Wall Control or thermostat settings. For
cooling, your desired temperature setting should be
LOWER than the displayed room temperature, and the
System/Mode control should be on Cool or Auto.
S Time delays - depending on the air conditioner you
have, there may be delays in unit operation that are
built- in to protect the equipment and your comfort. Don’t
be alarmed if you notice a time delay in operation. It
may be a standard protection feature of your equipment.
Check with y our dealer for more information on time
delays.
If you need to contact your dealer for troubleshooting and/or
repairs, be sure to have the model and serial numbers of
your equipment available (there are spaces on the cover for
you to write this information).
REGULAR DEALER MAINTENANCE
In addition to the routine maintenance that you perform,
your home comfort system should be inspected regularly by
a properly trained service technician. Many dealers offer this
service at a reduced rate with a service contract. Some
service contracts offer additional benefits such as parts
discounts and no additional charge for ”after hours” or
emergency service.
Your annual system inspection should include:
S Routine inspection of air filter(s) with replacement or
cleaning as required
S Inspection and cleaning of the blower wheel housing
and motor
S Inspection and, if required, cleaning of indoor and
outdoor coils
S Inspection of the indoor coil drain pan, as well as the
primary and secondary drain lines. If the system has an
auxiliary drain pan and line, they should be inspected at
this time as well. Service should include cleaning if
required.
S Check all electrical wiring and connections
S Check for secure physical connections of individual
parts in each unit
S Operational check of the air conditioner system to
determine actual working condition. Necessary repair
and/or adjustment should be performed at this time.
