Your heat pump will heat and cool your homeyear round, saving your energy dollars. Duringthe summer, a heat pump performs like anynormal air conditioner. That is, the excess heatenergy inside the home is absorbed by therefrigerant and exhausted outside the home.During the winter months, a heat pump performslike an air conditioner running in reverse. Thatis, available heat energy outside the home isabsorbed by the refrigerant and exhaustedinside the home. This is an efficient heatingmeans because you only pay for “moving” theheat from the outdoors to the indoor area. Youdo not pay to generate the heat, as is the casewith more traditional furnace designs.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To Operate Your Heat Pump in Cooling —
1. Set the thermostat system switch to COOLand the thermostat fan switch to AUTO.(See Figure 1)
2. Set the thermostat temperature selector tothe desired cooling temperature. The outdoorunit fan, the indoor blower, and the compressorwill all cycle on and off to maintain the indoortemperature at the desired cooling level.
To Shut Off Air Conditioner
1. Turn the system switch to "Heat" or "Off."2. Turn the thermostat to the desired heating
temperature setting.
To Operate Your Heat Pump For Heating —
1. Set the thermostat system switch to HEATand the thermostat fan switch to AUTO.(See Figure 1)
2. Set the thermostat temperature selector tothe desired heating temperature. The outdoorunit fan, the indoor blower, and the compressorwill all cycle on and off to maintain the indoortemperature at the desired heating level.
Defrost — During cold weather heatingoperation, the outdoor unit will develop a coatingof snow and ice on the heat transfer coil. Thisis normal and the unit will periodically defrostitself. During the defrost cycle, the outdoor fanwill stop, while the compressor continues to runand heat the outdoor coil, causing the snow andice to melt. During defrost, there may be somesteam rising from the outdoor unit as the warmcoil causes some melted frost to evaporate.
BEFORE YOU CALL A SERVICEMANCheck your system at the start of each airconditioning season. Make sure it's workingcorrectly, clean or change filters and make anyneeded adjustments.
In addition, follow these simple rules:1. Never run your system without a filter. If
you do, the cooling coils will collect dirt andmay become clogged.
2. Leave thermostat set at the comfort levelyou wish. Let it control the operation of theair conditioning system. If room temp isunsatisfactory, gradually raise the settinguntil comfort is restored.
3. It takes longer for an air conditioner to coolyour dwelling than it does for your furnaceto heat it. So . . . don't turn the unit on andexpect an immediate drop in temperature.If your home is hot and humid, the tempera-ture will drop slowly.
4. Check your filters every 30 days to see ifthey are dirty. To keep them clean, use amild solution of detergent and water onwashable types. Replace non washablefilters.
5. Keep your outdoor condenser coil clean.(You can hose it down when it gets dirty.)
If your air conditioner isn't working:1. Make sure the fuses are not blown or that
your circuit breakers are on.

2. See that your thermostat is set at thedesired temperature and that your system'sswitch is on "Cool."
3. For best air flow, make sure your returngrille is not covered and that the filter isclean.
4. Check the outdoor condenser coil andmake sure it is clean and not clogged withgrass or leaves.
If your air conditioner still isn't working, call yournearest distributor.

2. OVERCURRENT PROTECTION
In general, the best fuse or breaker for any airconditioner is the smallest size that will permitthe equipment to run under normal use andservice without nuisance trips. Such a device,sized properly, gives maximum equipment pro-tection. The principal reason for specifying atime delay type is to prevent nuisance tripswhen the unit starts.
In the event that a fuse does blow or a breakertrips, always determine the reason. Do notarbitrarily put in a larger fuse or breaker and donot, in any case, exceed the maximum sizelisted on the data label of the unit.
3. HEAT-COOL THERMOSTAT OPERATION
Heat-Cool Thermostat: Your thermostatshould be located on an inside wall approxi-mately five feet from the floor away from draftsand doors. Do not locate lamps or other objectsnear the thermostat which could affect its op-eration or block a free flow of air.
The heat-cool thermostat is equipped with asystem HEAT-COOL switch, which provides apositive means of preventing simultaneousoperation of the heating and cooling mode. Thethermostat is also equipped with an AUTO-ONfan switch which allows the home owner tooperate the indoor blower when air circulationis desired.
4. DEFROST CYCLE CONTROL
The defrost cycle is initiated via a signal from alow pressure switch located in the outdoor sidereturn gas tubing. This signal indicates the coilpressure has fallen low enough due to the buildup of frost. The defrost cycle will terminate viaa temperature switch located on the outdoor coilafter the frost has been cleared.
5. OUTDOOR THERMOSTAT
The outdoor thermostat (located at the top of thecontrol panel) prevents the auxiliary heat source(gas or electric) from operating above a certainset point. The thermostat is non-adjustable witha factory setting of 40°F.
SYSTEM OPERATION
1. PRE-START CHECK LIST
The following check list should be observedprior to starting the unit.
Is the unit level? It should be level or slightlyslanted toward the drain for proper con-densate drainage.
Is there free air flow to and from the con-denser? A one foot clearance around thecoil, and six foot clearance above the fan?
Is the wiring correct according to the wiringdiagram and electrical codes?
Are all the wiring connections tight? Checkthe condenser fan to make sure it turnsfreely.
Is the thermostat wired correctly? Is itinstalled in a proper location?
2. START-UP PROCEDURE
a. Set the system switch to the OFF position.b. Dial thermostat setting as high as it will go.c. Turn on power supply at the circuit breaker.d. Set the system switch to ON or COOL. Set
the temperature setting to below roomtemperature. Verify that the indoor blower,outdoor fan, and compressor are ener-gized and the cooling function starts.
e. Verify that the discharge air grilles areadjusted and the system is balanced.
f. Verify that there are no air leaks in the ductwork.
g. Verify that the condensate drain is properlyinstalled and that it functions correctly.
h. Dial the thermostat higher than room tem-perature. The unit should stop.
i. Set thermostat to the HEAT position. Pro-ceed to check for correct heat pump op-eration.
j. If outdoor temperature is below 35° F verifythat the furnace controls and burners orheating elements operate correctly.
k. If outdoor temperature is above 35° F youmay jumper out the outdoor thermostat tocheck for proper furnace operation.
l. Instruct the owner on unit operation, filterservicing, and proper thermostat opera-tion.
