A NOTE ABOUT SAFETY
Any time you see this symbol in manuals, instructions and on
the unit, be aware of the potential for personal injury. There are
three levels of precaution:
DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will result in
severe personal injury or death.
WARNING signifies hazards that could result in personal injury or
death.
CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices which would result
in minor personal injury or product and property damage.
NOTE is used to highlight suggestions which will result in
enhanced installation, reliability, or operation.
PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH AND / OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury,
death or property damage.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service,
maintenance, or use can cause explosion, fire, electrical shock,
or other conditions which may cause personal injury or
property damage. Consult a qualified installer, service agency,
or your distributor or branch for information or assistance. The
qualified installer or service agency must use
factory--authorized kits or accessories when modifying this
product.
Read and follow all instructions and warnings, including labels
shipped with or attached to unit before operating your new air

!WARNING
ABOUT YOUR AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
Our products are designed, tested and built in accordance with
DOE standardized procedures; however, actual operating results
and efficiencies may vary based on manufacturing and supplier
tolerances, equipment configuration, operating conditions and
installation practices.
Identifying Your System
Your new Bryant cooling system is what we call a ”split system.”
It has an outdoor unit and an indoor unit connected to each other
with copper tubing called refrigerant lines. Each of these units has
a rating plate with the model and serial numbers you will need to
reference when calling an authorized Bryant dealer about your
system.
Take a few moments now to locate those numbers and record them
in the spaces provided on the cover of this booklet.
USING YOUR NEW BRYANT SYSTEM
Your Bryant air conditioning system is controlled by a
wall--mounted EvolutionRConnextcontrol installed inside your
home. See the EvolutionRConnextControl Homeowner Guide
for more details on system operation.
EVOLUTION VARIABLE SPEED OPERATION
You may notice your system runs for longer periods of time. This
system is designed to meet the cooling needs of the home at a wide
range of conditions. Your indoor temperature will remain more
consistent with fewer drafts, better humidity control, enhanced
comfort and enhanced energy efficiency.
COOLING YOUR HOME
For cooling operation, make sure the System or Mode control is
set to the appropriate mode. Then, adjust the Temperature control
to your desired setting. Finally, use the Fan control to select
Automatic or On (runs continuously).
OPERATION UNDER EXTREME CONDITIONS
Your air conditioner will run as long as necessary to maintain the
indoor temperature selected on your EvolutionRConnext
Control. On extremely hot days, your air conditioner will run for
longer periods at a time than on moderate days. Your system will
also run for longer periods of time under the following conditions:
SFrequent opening of exterior doors
SOperating laundry appliances
STaking hot showers
SMore than the usual number of people present in the home
SMore than the normal number of electric lights in use
SDrapes or blinds are open on the sunny side of the home
SOUND
Your new Evolution variable speed air conditioner is different from
most cooling systems. Because this is a variable speed system, it is
designed to operate at varying speeds depending on the
temperature and humidity conditions. You may notice the sound
coming from the outdoor unit changing from time to time
depending on the weather conditions. The higher speed produces a
higher sound. This change of speed allows the system to operate
more efficiently and maintain comfortable conditions inside the
home as the outdoor temperature rises. These sound variations are
normal and do not represent a problem with your system.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Simple, routine maintenance as described below will enhance your
air conditioner system’s ability to operate economically and
dependably. Always remember the following safety precautions:
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, main
electrical disconnect switch must be in the OFF position.
There may be more than 1 disconnect switch. Lock out and
tag switch with a suitable warning label.
NOTE: There may be more than one electrical disconnect
switch.

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
!
SKeep 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.
SDo 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.
SDo 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.
SCheck 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 55°F/12.78°C in Cooling Mode
Your outdoor unit is not designed to operate when outdoor
temperatures are lower than 55_F/12.78_C unless low ambient
cooling has been enabled through the wall control. If
operation below this temperature is required, consult your Bryant
dealer.
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 Bryant dealer will install the outdoor unit in a level position.
If the support base settles 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 Bryant 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 Bryant
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:
SCheck the indoor and outdoor disconnect switches Also check
your main electrical panel circuit breakers or fuses.
SCheck for sufficient airflow. Air filter(s) should be reasonably
clean and interior vents should be open and unobstructed.
SCheck EvolutionRConnextControl 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.
STime delays - 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
your Bryant Dealer for more information on time delays.
If you need to contact your Bryant 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:
SRoutine inspection of air filter(s) with replacement or cleaning
as required
SInspection and cleaning of the blower wheel housing and
motor
SInspection and, if required, cleaning of indoor and outdoor
coils
SInspection 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.
SCheck all electrical wiring and connections
SCheck for secure physical connections of individual parts in
each unit
SOperational check of the air conditioner system to determine
actual working condition. Necessary repair and, or adjustment
should be performed at this time.
Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.
