SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Recognize safety inS\wmation. This is the safety-alert symbol
z_. When you see this symbol on the unit and in instructions
or manuals, be alert to the potential S\_rpersonal injury.
Understand the 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 would result in minor
personal injury or product and property damage. NOTE is used
to highlight suggestions that will result in enhanced installa-
tion, reliability, or operation.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, ser-
vice, maintenance, or use can cause explosion,
fire, electrical shock, or other conditions which
may cause personal injury or property damage.
Consult a qualified installer, service agency, or
your distributor or branch for information or as-
sistance. The qualified installer or service agency
must use factory-authorized kits or accessories
when modifying this product.
To prevent personal injury, death, or property
damage, read and follow all instructions and warn-
ings, including labels shipped with or attached to
unit before operating your new heat pump.
IMPORTANT FACTS
To better protect your invest ment and to elilninate unnecessary
service calls, familiarize yourself with the S\_llowing facts:
Each unit has a rating plate affixed to it which provides nec-
essary inS\wmation S\_rspecific identification of a unit. You
should familiarize yourself with the product, model, and serial
numbers listed on each rating plate. Record them S\_rfnture
reference on the last page of this booklet.
Your heat pump system should never be operated without a
clean air filter properly installed. Plan to inspect the filter peri-
odically. A clogged air filter will increase operating costs and
shorten the life of the unit,
Supply-air and return-air registers should not be blocked.
Drapes, furniture, and toys are some of the items commonly
S\mnd obstructing registers. Restricted airflow lessens the
unit's efficiency and life span.
The outdoor unit must have unrestricted airflow. Do not
cover the unit, lean anything against it, or stand on it. Do not
allow grass clippings, leaves, or other debris to accumulate
around or on top of the unit. Maintain a 12-in. minimum
clearance between the outdoor unit and tall grass, vines,
shrubs, etc.
Your multipurpose indoor thermostat is the control center
for your heat pump system. You should familiarize yourself
with its proper operation. Attempting to control the system by
other means--S\_r instance, switching the electrical supply
power ON and OFF--may cause damage to the unit.
During heating, increasing the thermostat setting more than
2 degrees may cause the supplemental heaters to be turned on
to satisfy the thermostat. Needless use of the supplementary
heat reduces potential energy savings.
You may find that you can maintain greater personal com-
S\_rtby running the fan continuously. "Air pockets" can S\_rm
due to the structure of the house, placement of registers, etc.
These air pockets may be too cool or warm l\_r your liking.
Continuous fan operation minimizes any temperature differ-
ences. Also, systems equipped with electronic or mechanical
air cleaners and/or humidifiers offer the added benefits of hav-
ing the air continuously cleaned yea>round and humidified
during the winter season.
A system equipped with a heat or energy recovery ventilator
offers the advantage of exhausting stale air Srom the home and
allowing fresh air in from the outdoors while minimizing heat
loss.
Your system may also be equipped with a zoning system
which allows individual control over the temperatures of sep-
arate areas of your home.
Your heat pump will remove humidity fiom your home dur-
ing the cooling season. ASter a few minutes of operation, you
should be able to see water trickle from the condensate drain
of the indoor cooling coil. Check this occasionally to be sure
the drain system is not clogged. Of course, don't expect to see
much drainage if you live in a very dry environment.
