REGULAR MAINTENANCE
REQUIREMENTS
Your system should be regularly inspected by a qualified service
technician. Between visits, there are some routine maintenance
_rocedures you can do to help keep your system operating at peak
_erformance.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
Turn OFF all electrical power to both the indoor and
outdoor units before performing any maintenance or
removing any panels or doors. There may be more than
one electrical disconnect switch
Air Filter
Inspect air filters at least monthly and replace or clean as re-
quired. Disposable type filters should be replaced. Reusable type
filters may be cleaned by soaking in mild detergent and rinsing
with cold water. Install filters with the arrows on the side pointing
in the direction of air flow.
Dirty air filters are the most common cause of inadequate
cooling performance, and of compressor failures.
Condensate Drain
The indoor coil condenses water from the air, and this water must
be disposed through an appropriate drain system. During the
cooling season check at least monthly for free flow of drainage
and clean if necessary.
Outdoor Unit Coils
Grass clippings, leaves, dirt, dust, lint from clothes dryers, and
fall-off from trees can be drawn into coils by movement of the
air. Clogged outdoor coils will lower the efficiency of your unit
and could cause damage to the compressor. Clean debris away
from the outdoor coils.
Use a soft bristle brush with light pressure only. Do not damage
or bend coil fins. Damaged or bent fins may affect unit operation.
Painted Surfaces
In geographical areas where the water has a high concentration
of minerals (calcium, iron, sulfur, etc.) it is recommended that
lawn sprinklers not be allowed to spray on the unit. Spraying this
type of water on the unit may result in premature deterioration of
the paint finish and metal components.
Never use aweather cover over the outdoor unit unless it is a ven-
tilated type or made of breathable fabric that will allow moisture
to evaporate rapidly. A cover that holds moisture in the unit will
cause more rust build-up and damage than normal exposure to
weather.
REGULAR DEALER MAINTENANCE
In addition to the routine maintenance that you perform, your
home comfort system should be inspected regularly by a properly
trained service technician. The inspection (preferably twice each
year, but at least once every year) should include the following:
• Routine inspection of air filter(s). Replacement or cleaning
as required.
• Inspection and cleaning of the blower wheel, housing, and
motor as required.
• Inspection and, if required, cleaning of indoor and outdoor
coils.
• Inspection of the indoor coil drain pan, plus the primary
and secondary drain lines. If supplied, the auxiliary drain
pan and line should be inspected at this time. Service
should include cleaning if required.
• A check of all electrical wiring and connections.
• A check for secure physical connections of individual
components within units.
• Operational check of the heat pump system to determine
actual working condition. Necessary repair and/or
adjustment should be performed at this time.
Your servicing dealer may offer an economical service contract
that covers seasonal inspections. Ask for further details.
FOR THE RECORD
Record the model, product, and serial numbers of your new
equipment. This information, along with the other ready refer-
ence facts requested, will be necessary should you ever require
information or service.
