can  cause  explosion,  fire,  electrical  shock,  or  other  conditions  which
may  cause  death,  personal  injury,  or  property  damage.  Consult  a
qualified  installer,  service  agency,  or  your  distributor  or  branch  for
information  or  assistance.  The  qualified  installer  or  agency  must  use
factory-authorized kits or accessories when modifying this product Refer
to the individual instructions packaged with the kits or accessories when
installing.
Follow  all  safety  codes.  Wear  safety  glasses,  protective  clothing,  and

extinguisher available. Read these instructions thoroughly and follow all
warnings  or  cautions  included  in  literature  and  attached  to  the  unit.
Consult  local  building  codes,  the  current  editions  of  the  National
Electrical Code (NEC) NFPA 70.

Starting or Shutting Unit Off
To start the unit:
1. Turn on the electrical power supply to unit.
2. Select temperature and set MODE control to desired mode.
To shut unit off:
NOTE:   If the unit is being shut down because  of a  malfunction, call
your dealer as soon as possible.
1. Set system MODE control to OFF.
2. Turn off the electrical power supply to unit.
Operating Your Unit
The  operation  of  your  unit  is  controlled  by  indoor  thermostat.  You
simply adjust the thermostat and it maintains the  indoor temperature at
the  level  you  select.  Most  thermostats  of  cooling  systems  have  3
controls: a temperature control selector, a FAN control, and a SYSTEM
or  MODE  control. Refer  to  your  thermostat owner’s  manual  for  more
information.
To better protect your investment and to eliminate unnecessary service
calls, familiarize yourself with the following facts:
Cooling Mode
With the SYSTEM or MODE control set to COOL, your unit will run in
cooling mode until  the indoor temperature  is lowered to  the level  you
have  selected.  On  extremely  hot  days,  your  unit  will  run  for  longer
periods at a time and have shorter “off” periods than on moderate days.
Heating Mode
With the SYSTEM or MODE control set to HEAT, your unit will run in
heating mode until the room temperature is raised to the level you have
selected. Of course, your unit will run for longer periods to maintain a
comfortable  environment  on  cooler  days  and  nights  than  on  moderate
ones.
Supplemental Heat
Your  unit  is  your  primary  heating  source.  Your  system  may  also  be
equipped with  a supplemental heating source such as electric heat. On
cold  days  and  nights,  your  system  will  automatically  turn  on  the
supplemental heat, as needed, in order to maintain the level of comfort
you have selected.
When  your  heat  pump  needs  additional  heat  to  keep  you  comfortable
your thermostat will turn on the supplemental heat (if equipped).
