Safety Considerations
Improper installation adjustment, alteration, service, maintenance, or use
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
work  gloves.  Use  quenching  cloth  for  brazing  operations.  Have  a  fire
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 and NFPB 90B - Installation Warm Air
Heating and A/C System (Residential).
In Canada refer to the current editions of the Canadian electrical Code
CSA C22.1.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert symbol  . When
you see this symbol on the unit and in instructions or manuals, be alert to
the  potential  for  personal  injury.  Understand  these  signal  words;
DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION. These words are used with the
safety-alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which
will  result  in  severe  personal  injury  or  death.  WARNING  signifies
hazards  which  could  result  in  personal  injury  or  death.  CAUTION  is
used  to  identify  unsafe  practices  which  may  result  in  minor  personal
injury  or  product  and  property  damage.  NOTE  is  used  to  highlight
suggestions  which  will  result  in  enhanced  installation,  reliability,  or
operation.
NOTE:  Installer: This manual should be left with the equipment user.
Operating Your Unit
The  operation  of  your  heat  pump  system  is  controlled  by  the  indoor
thermostat. You simply adjust the thermostat and it maintains the indoor
temperature  at  the  level  you  select.  Most  thermostats  of  heat  pump
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:
1. During  heating,  increasing  the  desired  temperature  setting  more
than 2°F (1.1°C) may cause the supplemental heaters to be turned
on for a short period of time to satisfy the demand. Needless use of
the supplementary heat reduces potential energy savings.
2. Ice  or  frost  tends  to  form  on  the  coil  during  winter  heating
operation. Your unit is designed to automatically melt the ice. When
in this defrost cycle, it is normal for steam or fog to rise from the
outdoor unit, and for water to drain from the outside of unit. Do not
be alarmed!
To start the unit:
1. Turn on the electrical power supply to unit.
2. Set MODE control to desired mode and select temperature.
To shut off unit:
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.
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). When
the thermostat calls for supplemental heat, you may notice the indoor fan
increase its speed.
Defrost Mode
When your unit is providing heat to your home or office and the outdoor
temperature drops below 45°F (7.2°C), moisture may begin to freeze on
the  surface  of  the  coil.  If  allowed  to  build  up,  this  ice  would  impede
