Operation of the unit will depend on the setting of 
the thermostat on the unit or the remote control. 
Refer to the owner’s manual and remote control 
manual for operating instructions.

All panels must be installed, main power turned on 
and the wiring, refrigerant lines, and condensate 
drain lines properly connected before operating the 
unit.
Test-Run / Initial Start-up
1. Press the ON/OFF button on the remote control 
to turn the unit on.
2. Press the mode button on the remote control to 
check that each mode (Cool, Heat*, Auto, Dry 
and Fan only) works properly.
3. When the ambient temperature is too low (below 
62°F/16°C) to run the unit in cooling mode to 
check the system, the unit can be placed in 
manual operation.
4. To place the unit in manual operation, gently 
lift up the lower left and right sides of the front

FIELd CHARgINg
Unit performance, efciency, and life depends, 
to a large extent, on a proper system charge. 
Time spent on getting the charge right at start-up 
will payoff in the long run. Operating conditions 
such as voltage, air ow, evaporator coil size, 
and indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity 
all have an effect on the system pressures and 
superheat conditions.
Condensing units are factory charged for the 
outdoor and indoor unit with 25ft. (7.6m) of 
refrigerant lines. Charge must be added for the 
interconnecting tubing. 
These units should be critically charged to ensure 
proper performance. Some systems may require 
additional charging of refrigerant, depending on 
line set lengths.
FINAL INSPECTION
Do a nal visual inspection of the entire installation. 
Complete any nal details and clean up.
Review Unit and Remote Control Operation with 
the homeowner/user.
Ensure homeowner/user is provided with all 
manuals, warranty cards, etc.
R = T X (L-25)ft
R(oz): Additional refrigerant to be charged
