Maytag now offers the choice of an air conditioner that uses a
more efficient and environmentally friendly refrigerant designated
R-410A. The DS4BD-KA Series of air conditioners offers exceptional
performance. The unit, when combined with our engineered coils or
air handlers, offers a full line of quality, split system cooling equipment.
Features and Benefits
• SmartCoolTM 410TM Refrigerant (R-410A) – Earth friendly non-ozone
depleting refrigerant.
• Designed using galvanized steel – with a polyester urethane coat fin-
ish. The 950 hour salt spray finish resists corrosion 50% better than
comparable units.
• Copper Tube / Aluminum Fin Coils – Both indoor and outdoor coils are
designed to optimize heat transfer, minimize size and cost, and increase
durability and reliability.
• Permanently Lubricated Motor – A heavy duty PSC motor for long lasting
reliability and quiet operation. Requires no maintenance and is completely
protected from rain and snow.
• Full Port Suction Valve – Full port brass ball valve provides low pressure
drop and ease of service. The valve is actuated by 1/4 turn full open to
full close.
• Steel GuardTM – Durable metal guard protects the coil from yard hazards
and extreme weather.
• Removable Top Grille Assembly – Allows ease of service from the top
without disconnecting fan motor leads.
• High Pressure Switch – Protects against abnormally high system
pressures. Auto-reset feature prevents nuisance service visits.
• Liquid Line Filter Drier – Included with unit, field installed.
• One Piece Top/Orifice – Designed for maximum airflow and quiet
operation.
• 2-1/2” Pedestal Base – The sturdy base keeps the bottom of the coil out
of harms way. Secondly, the base has weep holes along the edge to allow
the water from rain to flow away from the unit.
• Easy Compressor and Control Access – Designed to make servicing
easier for the contractor, access panels are provided to all controls and
the compressor from the side of the unit.
•12 YEAR ALL
PARTS WARRANTY
•This product offers a 1 Year
Dependability Promise
to replace the unit if the
compressor fails in the first
year of operation, to the
original owner. All split
system products must be
installed with a matched
indoor air handler or
indoor coil to qualify.
•Product registration
required for 12-year
All Parts Warranty and
Dependability Promise
within a limited period of
time after the installation.
