!WARNING:
To avoid possible equipment dam-
age, fire, or death, the following in-
structions must be observed regard-
ing unit location, combustion air re-
quirements, and operation proce-
dures.
Gas Heating/Electric Cooling
Unit Location
The area around the gas heating/electric cool-
ing unit and the vicinity of any other gas appli-
ances must be kept clear and free of combus-
tible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids. Do not store or use flam-
mable items such as paint, varnish, or strippers
in the vicinity of the unit.
Do not use the area around the unit as a storage
area. This area must be kept clear and clean.
The unit must also be kept clear of loose or
exposed insulation materials. Examine the
unit’s area when it is installed or when insulation
is added, since some insulation materials may
be combustible.
Do not use this appliance if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualified ser-
vice technician to inspect the unit and to replace
any part of the control system and any gas
control which has been under water.
Familiarize yourself with the controls that shut
off the gas and electrical power to the unit. If the
unit is to be shut down for an extended period of
time, turn off both the gas and electrical power.
For your safety always turn off both the gas and
electrical power before performing service or
maintenance on the furnace.
Combustion Air Supply
The gas heating/electric cooling unit needs an
adequate supply of combustion and ventilation
air for proper and safe operation. Do not block
or obstruct air openings on the unit or air open-
ings supplying the area where it is installed.
If the unit is operated with inadequate combus-
tion air supply, the flame roll-out control switch
located above the burners will open, turning off
the gas supply to the burners. The flame roll-out
control is a manual-reset device. DO NOT
install a jumper wire across this switch to defeat
its function. DO NOT reset the control without
identifying and correcting the fault condition
which caused the control to trip. If this switch
must be replaced, use only the replacement
part specified in the accompanying Replace-
ment Parts List.
All air openings in the door of the unit, warm air
registers, and return air grilles must not be
restricted.
!CAUTION:
Combustion air must not be drawn
from a corrosive atmosphere.
To maximize heat exchanger life, the combus-
tion air must be free of chemicals which form
corrosive acidic compounds in the combustion
gases. Some examples of these chemicals are
chlorine, fluorine, and sulphur. Some common
sources of these chemicals are detergents,
bleaches, aerosol sprays, cleaning solvents,
and a wide variety of commercial and household
products.

Ductwork
!
WARNING:
Failure to prevent products of com-
bustion from being circulated into the
living space can create potentially
hazardous conditions including car-
bon monoxide poisoning that could
result in personal injury or death.
The duct connections must be physically sound
and sealed to the unit’s casing to prevent prod-
ucts of combustion from entering the living
space.
The return air and circulating air ductwork must
not be connected to any other heat producing
device such as a fireplace insert, stove, etc.
Doing so may result in fire, explosion, personal
injury, carbon monoxide poisoning, or property
damage.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Cooling Operation
1. Set the thermostat system switch to COOL
and the thermostat fan switch to AUTO.
(See Figure 1)
2. Set the thermostat temperature selector to
the desired temperature level. Some ther-
mostat models will have two temperature
selectors, one marked “C” to set the de-
sired cooling temperature, and a second
marked “H” to set the desired heating tem-
perature. The outdoor fan, compressor,
and indoor blower will all cycle on and off to
maintain the indoor temperature at the
desired cooling level.
NOTE: If the thermostat temperature level
is readjusted, or the thermostat system
switch is repositioned, the outdoor fan and
compressor may not start immediately. The
unit contains a protective timer circuit which
holds the unit off for approximately six
minutes following a previous operation or
theinterruption of the main electrical power.

Heating Operation
1. Set the thermostat system switch to Heat
and the thermostat fan switch to AUTO.
(See Figure 1)
2. Set the thermostat temperature selector to
the desired temperature level. Some ther-
mostat models will have two temperature
selectors, one marked “C” to set the de-
sired cooling temperature, and a second
marked “H” to set the desired heating tem-
perature. The indoor blower and heating
module blower will cycle on and off to
maintain the indoor temperature at the
desired heating level.
!
WARNING:
Should overheating occur, or the gas
supply fail to shut off, shut off the
manual gas valve to the unit before
shutting off the electrical supply.
NOTE: This unit is equipped with a manual-
reset flame roll-out limit switch. This switch acts
to verify that the burner flame is being drawn into
the heat exchanger tubes. If the flame is not
being drawn into the tubes, the flame roll-out
switch will open within several seconds. When
this switch opens, the gas valve will de-ener-
gize, which will stop the flow of gas. Further-
more, both the combustion inducer and the
circulating air blower will energize and continue
to operate until the switch is closed. Do not reset
the flame roll-out switch before identifying and
correcting the fault condition that caused the
switch to open. If the switch will not reset or
continues to open, immediately contact a quali-
fied serviceman to identify and repair the prob-
lem.
System Shutdown
Set the thermostat system switch to OFF and
the thermostat fan switch to AUTO (See Figure
1). The system will not operate, regardless of
the thermostat temperature selector(s) setting.
To Operate the Indoor Blower
Continuously
Set the thermostat fan switch to ON (may be
calledCONTonsomethermostatmodels). (See
Figure 1)
The indoor blower will start immediately, and
will run continually until the fan switch is reset to
AUTO.
The continuous indoor blower operation can be
obtained with the thermostat system switch set
in any position, including OFF.
The continuous indoor blower operation is typi-
cally used to circulate the indoor air to equalize
a temperature unbalance due to a solar load,
cooking, or fireplace operation.
System Maintenance
!
CAUTION:
Be certain the electrical power to the
unit is disconnected and the gas is
shut off before doing the following
recommended maintenance.
Propermaintenanceismostimportanttoachieve
the best performance from the appliance and
should be performed by a qualified service
technician at least once a year. Follow the
maintenance schedule and the instructions be-
low for years of safe, trouble free operation.
Do not place combustible materials on or
against the cabinet.
Do not store gasoline or any other flam-
mable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of
the unit.
Annually inspect the physical support of the
furnace to ensure that it is physically sound
without sagging, cracks, gaps, etc., around
the base so as to provide a seal between
the support and the base.
Annually inspect the return-air connection
to ensure that it is physically sound and is
still sealed to the casing of the unit.
Annually inspect the unit, ductwork, and
vent system for signs of physical deteriora-
tion.
Always replace the doors on the unit after
servicing or cleaning/changing the filters.
Do not operate the unit without all doors
and covers in place.
Avoid operating the unit when windows and
doors are open.
Be sure that the thermostat is properly
installed and is not being affected by drafts
or heat from lamps or other appliances.

son, the beginning of every cooling season, and
when an accumulation of dust and dirt are
visible on the filter. IMPORTANT: Replace
disposable filter(s) installed in your system only
with the same size dimensional filters that are
being replaced. Clean permanent filter(s) as
described by the manufacturer of your particular
permanent filter.
Motor Lubrication:
!WARNING:
Lubrication of the motors in this unit
is not required. Do not lubricate any
motor in this product.
The motors for the circulating air blower, out-
door fan, and combustion blower are pre-lubri-
cated at the factory. No further oiling is required
for the life of this product.
Burner Maintenance:
!
CAUTION:
Some components in the burner ves-
tibule are at high temperatures while
the burners are operating. Use cau-
tion to avoid personal injury.
Check the burner flames at the start of every
heating season. Set the thermostat to a tem-
perature setting above the room temperature.
Remove the control access panel to the unit and
visually inspect the burner assembly to make
sure that the flame is drawn directly into the
center of the heat exchanger tube (See Figure
3). In a properly adjusted burner assembly, the
flame bends up and to the left at the end of the
heat exchanger tube, and the end of the flame
will be out of sight around the bend. The flame
color should be blue, however some light yellow
streaks may occur on the outer portions of the
flame.
Refer to Table 1 for complete maintenance
schedule.
Regular Cleaning:
Remove any leaves and grass clippings from
the outdoor coil, being careful not to damage the
aluminum fins.
Checkforanyobstructions, such as twigs, sticks,
etc.
!CAUTION:
Do not strike any of the internal elec-
trical components while vacuuming.
Clean the blower compartment monthly during
the heating and cooling seasons to remove any
dirt and lint that may have accumulated in the
compartment or on the blower and motor.
Buildup of dirt and lint on the blower and motor
can create excessive loads on the motor result-
ing in higher than normal operating tempera-
tures and possible shortened service life.
Air Filters:
!WARNING:
Never operate the unit without a filter
in the return air system. Dust and lint
in the return air can build up on the
internal components, resulting in a
loss of efficiency, equipment dam-
age, and possible fire risk.
This unit is not supplied with air filter(s) and has
nomeansforaccommodatinginternalairfilter(s).
The installer is responsible for installing a filtra-
tion system into the return air duct of this sys-
tem. The filter(s) of this system should be
checked at least monthly.
It is very important to replace or clean the
filter(s) installed in the return air duct of this
system. A clogged filter could cause airflow
related problems and reduce the overall effi-
ciency of your unit. Depending upon which type
of filter was installed with your unit, clean (per-
manent) or replace (disposable) filter(s) of your
system at the beginning of every heating sea-
