CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To avoid the possibility of electric shock, before per-
forming any cleaning and maintenance operations, al-
ways turn off power to the system by pressing the
orange ON/OFF button on the remote controller. Turn
off the outdoor disconnect switch located near the out-
door unit. If the indoor unit is on a separate switch, be
sure it is also disconnected.
For proper system operation, perform the cleaning and main-
tenance operations in Table 8.
Lubrication — The indoor-fan automatic air sweep mo-
tor, and the outdoor-fan motor are factory lubricated and re-
quire no oiling.
To Install or Replace Remote Controller
Batteries
Do not drop the remote controller — damage to the
device may result. Avoid getting the controller wet.
NOTE: Before replacing the batteries, note that the remote
controller signal can be affected if electronic fluorescent
lights are installed nearby. The batteries may not need to be
replaced. If you suspect this is the problem, consult your
Carrier distributor.
Batteries should be replaced once a year. Use 2 batteries
(1.5 v, dc-type, AAA alkaline batteries). Never use old or
recharged batteries together with new ones.
To replace batteries:
1. Slide the battery cover off from the back of the remote
controller. See Fig. 22.
2. Insert the 2 batteries in accordance with the markings
on the remote controller, so that the poles are correct
(+ and −).

3. Press the button using an instrument screwdriver
or similar small, pointed tool.
4. Replace the cover securely.
It is time to replace the remote controller batteries when
the remote controller function becomes irregular, or the sys-
tem no longer responds to commands given close to the unit.
When shutting down the system for an extended period of
time, it is advisable to remove the batteries.
Consult distributor if any other equipment is turned on or
shows signs of disrupted operation if you use the wireless
remote controller, or if the system is turned on or shows signs
of disrupted operation when the remote controller of any other
equipment is used.
