COOL and the thermostat fan switch
to AUTO. (See Figure 1)
2. Set the thermostat temperature
selector to the desired temperature
level.The outdoor fans, compressors,
and indoor blower will all cycle on and
off to maintain the indoor temperature
at the desired cooling level.
Heating Operation
1. Set the thermostat system switch to
HEAT and the thermostat fan switch
to AUTO. (See Figure 1)

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
typically used to circulate the indoor air
to equalize a temperature unbalance
due to a solar load, cooking, or
fireplace operation
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.

System Maintenance
CAUTION:
Be certain all electrical power
to the unit is disconnected
beforeperformingthefollowing
recommended maintenance.
Proper maintenance is most important
to achieve 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 below for years of safe,
trouble free operation.
• Do not place combustible
materials on or against the
cabinet.
• Do not store gasoline or any
other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of the
unit.
• Annually inspect the physical
support of the unit 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 and
ductwork for signs of physical
deterioration.
• Always replace the doors on
the unit after servicing. Do not
operate the unit without all doors
and covers in place.
1. Regular Cleaning:
CAUTION:
Do not strike any of the internal
electrical components while
cleaning.
• Remove any debris from the
outdoor coil, being careful not to
damage the aluminum fins.
• Check for and remove any
obstructions to condenser
airflow.
• Clean the blower compartment
regularly during the heating and
cooling seasons to remove any
dust that may have accumulated
in the compartment or on the
blower and motor. Buildup of
dust on the blower and motor
can create excessive loads on
the motor resulting in higher than
normal operating temperatures
and possible shortened service
life.
2. 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
damage, and possible fire
risk.

are factory equipped with pleated 2”
disposable filters. The filters should
be checked periodically and replaced
(or cleaned) when necessary with
filters of the same dimensional size.
Replace using disposable filters with
a minimum airflow rating of 500 FPM
or permanent filters only.The filter rack
is field adjustable to accommodate
1” permanent filters. DO NOT use 1”
disposable filters in these units.
NOTE: Filters must be ULC approved
or equivalent for use in Canada.
Always replace the filter access
panels after changing or cleaning
the filters. Do not operate unit
without the filter access panels in
place.
