BEFORE YOU CALL YOUR SERVICER
• Check the thermostat to conrm that it is properly set.
• Wait 15 minutes. Some devices in the outdoor unit or
in programmable thermostats will prevent compressor
operaon for awhile, and then reset automacally. Also,
some power companies will install devices which shut o
air condioners for several minutes on hot days. If you wait
several minutes, the unit may begin operaon on its own.
• Check the electrical panel for tripped circuit breakers or
failed fuses. Reset the circuit breakers or replace fuses as necessary.
• Check the disconnect switch near the indoor furnace or blower to conrm that it is closed.
• Check for obstrucons on the outdoor unit . Conrm that it has not been covered on the sides or the top. Remove any obstrucon
that can be safely removed. If the unit is covered with dirt or debris, call a qualied servicer to clean it.
• Check for blockage of the indoor air inlets and outlets. Conrm that they are open and have not been blocked by objects (rugs,
curtains or furniture).
• Check the lter. If it is dirty, clean or replace it.
• Listen for any unusual noise(s), other than normal operang noise, that might be coming from the outdoor unit. If you hear
unusual noise(s) coming from the unit, call a qualied servicer.

REPLACE OR CLEAN FILTER
IMPORTANT NOTE: Never operate unit without a lter installed as dust and lint will build up on internal parts resulng in loss of e-
ciency, equipment damage and possible re.
An indoor air lter must be used with your comfort system. A properly maintained lter will keep the indoor coil of your comfort system
clean. A dirty coil could cause poor operaon and/or severe equipment damage.
Your air lter or lters could be located in your furnace, in a blower unit, or in “lter grilles” in your ceiling or walls. The installer of your
air condioner or heat pump can tell you where your lter(s) are, and how to clean or replace them.
Check your lter(s) at least once a month. When they are dirty, replace or clean as required. Disposable type lters should be replaced.
Reusable type lters may be cleaned.
You may want to ask your dealer about high eciency lters. High eciency lters are available in both electronic and non-electronic
types. These lters can do a beer job of catching small airborne parcles.
MOTORS
Indoor and outdoor fan motors are permanently lubricated and
do not require addional oiling.
ALUMINUM INDOOR COIL CLEANING
(QUALIFIEDSERVICERONLY)
This unit is equipped with an aluminum tube evaporator coil. The
safest way to clean the evaporator coil is to simply ush the coil
with water. This cleaning pracce remains as the recommended cleaning method for both copper tube and aluminum tube residenal
evaporator coils.
It has been determined that many coil cleaners and drain pan tablets contain corrosive chemicals that can be harmful to aluminum
tube and n evaporator coils. Even a one-me applicaon of these corrosive chemicals can cause premature aluminum evaporator
coil failure. Any cleaners that contain corrosive chemicals including, but not limited to, chlorine and hydroxides, should not be used.
An alternate cleaning method is to use one of the products listed in TP-109* to clean the coils. The cleaners listed are the only agents
deemed safe and approved for use to clean round tube aluminum coils. TP-109 is also available on the web site in Partner Link > Service
Toolkit.
NOTE: Ensure coils are rinsed well aer use of any chemical cleaners.
