This limited warranty is extended by the manufacturer,to the original purchaser and to any
succeeding owner of the real property to which the Air Handler is originally affixed, and
applies to products purchased and retained for use within the U.S.A.and Canada.
Beginning on January 1, 2010, R-22 refrigerant will no longer be used as a manufacturer-
installed refrigerant as required by federal regulation. Following this date, depending on the
availability of any remaining R-22 equipment, indoor model replacements may require that
the entire system be R-410A compatible. Outdoor system components and possibly connect-
ing linesets would needto be replaced inorder to be compatible withindoor units containing
R-410A refrigerant. Expenses associated with replacing system compoents that are not R-
410A compatible will not be covered by the terms and conditions of the limited warranty.
The warranty period begins when installation is complete and the air handler unit start-up
)rocedure has been properly completed, verified by installer's invoiceor similar document. If
installation completion and start-up date cannot be verified by installer's invoice or similar
document, limited warranty coverage begins six (6) months after the date of manufacture
based on the air handler unit serial number.
Ifany part of your Air Handlerfails because of a manufacturingdefect within fiveyears of the
warranty period begin date, Manufacturer will furnish without charge the required replace-
ment part. Any other costs, such as local transportation, related service labor, air filters and
diagnosiscalls arenot included.

internet websites or auctions) on an uninstalled basis. Additionally, this limited warranty will
not apply unless the air handlerunit is:(1) installed bya licensedor qualified HVACtechnician,
(2) applied and installed in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and its
Installer's guide and (3) in compliance with all industry standards, national, state and local
codes.

Proper Maintenance reduces electricity use.
To prevent injury or death, or prop-
erty damage, read and follow all in-
structions and warnings, including
labels shipped with or attached to
unit before operating your new air
conditioning system.
Improper installation, adjustment,
alteration, service maintenance, or
use can cause explosion, fire, elec-
trical shock, or other conditions
which may cause personal injury or
property damage. Consult a quali-
fied installer or service agency for
information orassistance. The quali-
fied installer or agency must use
factory-authorized kits or accesso-

A clean filter saves money.
Help ensure top efficiency by cleaning
the filter regularly. When the unit circu-
lates and filters the air in your home,
dust and dirt particles collect on the fil-
ter located in your indoor unit. Exces-
sive buildup forces the system to run
longer to maintain your set tempera-
ture and you end up paying for it.
Clean or replace your filter at least
once a month or twice a month when
the system is running more.
If you have a semi-permanent filter,
you can take the filter out of the frame
and vacuum it. Where disposable fil-
ters are used, they must be replaced
every month with the same size as
originally supplied.
Yourfilter mayor maynot beframed.
Both methods are quick and easy and
increase efficiency and energy use.
When replacing your air handler filters,
always use the same size and type
that was originally supplied. Filters are
available from your dealer.
How to remove your filter.
Ask your dealer where the filter is lo-
cated when your system is installed.
It may be behind the bottom panel of
your indoor unit. Or it may be at the
top, bottom, or either side. Or there
may be two filters.
In any case, removing a filter is easy.
Just make sure you insert the clean

filter with the arrows on it pointing in
the direction of the airflow.
Your installing dealer is your best
source of filter and maintenance infor-
mation.
Cut operating costs by keeping
snow, ice and debris clear of your
outdoor heat pump unit.
NOTE: Condensation may occur on
the surface of the air handler when
installed in an unconditioned loca-
tion.
Continuous fan mode during Cooling
operation may not be appropriate in
humid climates. If the indoor air ex-
ceeds 60% relative humidity or simply
feels uncomfortably humid, it is rec-
ommended that the fan only be used
in the AUTO mode.
Efficient operation of your outdoor unit
requires the free flow of air over the
coils. Anything that blocks this flow
forces the unit to work harder to do its
job. At no time should anything be
stacked against the side of the out-
door unit or draped over it. Keeping it
clear of debris helps it work at peak
efficiency, and that helps hold down
operating costs.
If heating system is not operational
during the cold weather months,
provisions must be taken to prevent
freeze-up of all water pipes and wa-
ter receptacles. This is very impor-
tant during times of vacancy.
Regular preventative maintenance is
the best way to ensure trouble-free
operation and peak performance of
your home comfort system.
Accordingly, pre-season maintenance,
typically in the spring and fall, can
help you avoid a system failure on the
hottest or coldest day of the year.
Trane /American Standard
encourages you, the homeowner, to
contact your dealer regarding such
maintenance programs.

When you're going to be away from
home for a few days---or when outdoor
temperatures are moderate--don't let
your system run unnecessarily.
Lower the thermostat to 55°F in the
winter. And raise it to 85°F in summer.
Then when you return--or when tem-
peratures dictate--you can reset the
system and it will begin making your
home comfortable again.
['!I [_:lli / [e] _1
Whenever your house is to be va-
cant, arrange to have someone in-
spect your house for proper tem-
perature. This is very important in
below freezing weather. If for any
reason your unit should fail to op-
erate, damage could result, such as
frozen water pipes.
['!I [_:lll / [e] _1
Water damage could occur if con-
densate drains are not checked and
cleaned periodically. Maintenance
of drains assures condensate can
drain freely.
This unit is not a household appli-
ance. It is a complex self contained
system that requires professional
maintenance and repair. That's why
attempts at do-it-yourself repairs on
an in-warranty unit may void the re-
mainder of your warranty. Other than
performing the simple maintenance
recommended in this manual, you
should not attempt to make any ad-
justments to your system.
NOTE: The blower motor bearings
are factory lubricated and under
normal operating conditions usu-
ally do not require servicing. Your
local servicer can advise you if oil-
ing is required. Your dealer should
be able to take care of any ques-
tions or problems you may have.
Keep your unit looking like new
for years.
Clean the enamel finish of your unit
with ordinary soap and water. For
stubborn grease spots, use a house-
hold detergent. Lacquer thinner or
other synthetic solvents may dam-
age the finish.
Just set the temperature you want.
Set temperatures by using the indi-
cators on the thermostat* control.
After that, your comfort control cen-
ter (thermostat) will maintain a con-
stant indoor temperature, regardless
of changes in outdoor temperatures.
Read your thermostat manual for di-
rections on setting the temperatures.
Save energy with an electronic
programmable thermostat.
With an electronic programmable
thermostat* energy savings is easy.
Just program the thermostat for the
temperatures you are most comfort-
able with and it will automatically
change settings up to four times a
day. Special weekend and vacation
schedules are also easily pro-
grammed for comfort and savings.
Read your thermostat manual for
programming instructions. If you
want the optimum balance between
comfort and the cost of running your
system, we recommend keeping the
temperature settings at 68°F for
heating and 78°F for cooling.
Save energy by letting the thermo-
stat do its job.
Once you set the thermostat, keep
subsequent adjustments to a mini-
mum. Adjust it only when a new pro-
gram is needed.
