amount of heat absorbed from the outside air. So, to maintain  
energy--efficient operation, your unit has an automatic defrost  
mode.  
!
CAUTION  
CUT HAZARD  
The defrost mode starts at a preset time interval of 60 minutes,  
although, it may be reset to 30, 90 or 120 minutes. Defrost will  
start at the preset time only if the ice is sufficient to interfere with  
normal heating operation.  
After the ice is melted from the coil, or after a maximum of 10  
minutes in defrost mode, the unit automatically switches back to  
normal heating operation.  
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.  
Sheet metal parts may have sharp edges or burrs. Use care  
and wear appropriate protective clothing, safety glasses and  
gloves when handling parts and servicing furnaces.  
Do not be alarmed if steam or fog appears at the outdoor unit  
during defrost mode. Water vapor from the melting ice may  
condense into a mist in the cold outside air.  
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.  
During certain weather conditions such as heavy snow and freezing  
rain it is not uncommon for ice to build up on the unit grille. This  
is normal for these weather conditions. Do not attempt to remove  
the ice from the unit grille. This condition will not affect the proper  
function of the unit and will clear within a few days.  
To better protect your investment and to eliminate unnecessary  
service calls, familiarize yourself with the following facts:  
Emergency Heating Mode  
In the event of primary unit heat failure, the emergency heat mode  
allows your supplemental heating source to keep your home or  
office warm until your unit can be serviced. Contact your dealer in  
the event of primary unit heat failure.  
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!  
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE  
This section discusses maintenance that should be performed by  
your dealer and care you, as the owner, may wish to handle for  
your new unit.  
Routine Maintenance  
All routine maintenance should be handled by skilled, experienced  
personnel. Your dealer can help you establish a standard procedure.  
To assure proper functioning of the unit, flow of condenser air  
must not be obstructed from reaching the unit. Clearance from the  
top of the unit is 48 in. (1219 mm). Clearance of at least 36 in.  
(914 mm) is required on sides except the power entry side (42 in.  
[1067 mm] clearance) and the duct side (12 in. [305 mm]  
minimum clearance).  
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  
Maintenance and Care for the Equipment Owner  
Before proceeding with those things you might want to maintain  
yourself, please carefully consider the following:  
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.  
!
WARNING  
FIRE, EXPLOSION, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, CUT  
HAZARD  
Heating Mode  
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal  
injury, death or property damage.  
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.  
1. TURN OFF ELECTRICAL POWER TO YOUR UNIT  
BEFORE  
SERVICING  
OR  
PERFORMING  
MAINTENANCE AND INSTALL A LOCK--OUT  
TAG.  
Supplemental Heat  
2. When removing access panels or performing  
maintenance functions inside your unit, be aware of  
sharp sheet metal parts and screws. Although special care  
is taken to reduce sharp edges to a minimum, be  
extremely careful when handling parts or reaching into  
the unit.  
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).  
Air Filters  
The air filter(s) should be checked every 3 or 4 weeks and changed  
or cleaned whenever it becomes dirty. Dirty filters produce  
excessive stress on the blower motor and can cause the motor to  
overheat and shut down.  
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 airflow across the coil and reduce the  
This unit must have an air filter in place before it can be operated.  
These filters should be located in at least one of two places. In  
3
 
many applications, the installer will provide return air filter grilles  
mounted on the wall or ceiling of the conditioned structure. In the  
instance of filter grilles, the filters can simply be removed from the  
grille and replaced.  
The other typical application is an accessory filter rack installed  
inside the unit itself. The following information is given to assist in  
changing filters used in these internal filter racks.  
Table 1 indicates the correct indoor filter size for your unit. Refer  
to Fig. 3 to access filters installed in the accessory filter rack. If  
using an Accessory Filter Rack, refer to the Installation Instructions  
provided with it for correct filter sizes and quantities.
