Filter
Top Products
Reusable, permanent filters should be washed in a solution
of cold water and mild detergent, then rinsed and thoroughly
dried. THE FILTER MUST BE COMPLETELY DRY BE-
FORE BEING REINSTALLED. To avoid prolonged shut-
down of your unit while a filter is drying, you should have an
extra filter on hand. This would allow you to rotate between
the two with minimal downtime for your comfort system. Ex-
tra filters may be purchased from your dealer.
• The filter(s) and filter rack for a packaged system are sup-
plied and installed by the contractor or dealer. Typically, the
filter(s) and rack are located in the return-air duct in the unit
or behind the return-air grille(s). Have your dealer show you
the location of your filter(s) and the procedures for removal
and replacement.
If you have any questions about the removal and/or cleaning
of your filter(s), contact your dealer for assistance.
If grass clippings, leaves, shrubbery, and debris are kept away
from the unit, minimal care should be sufficient to keep the
system functioning properly. However, if the outdoor coil be-
comes dirty, use a brush or vacuum cleaner and soft brush
attachment to clean the exterior surface. If dirt is deep in the
coil, contact your dealer for service. The outdoor fan motor
may have to be disconnected and the top panel removed to
gain access to the coil for thorough cleaning. Do not attempt
this yourself.
UNIT SUPPORT
Your packaged unit should be maintained at a level position.
If its support should shift or settle so that the unit is no longer
level, you should correct the condition. Relevel it promptly to
assure condensate drainage out of the unit. If you notice that
water or ice collects beneath the unit, arrangefor it tobe drained
away from the unit.
BEFORE YOU REQUEST A SERVICE CALL
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE, CHECK FOR THESE
EASILY SOLVED PROBLEMS:
• Check the disconnect switches. Verify that circuit break-
ers are ON or that fuses have not blown.
• Check for sufficient airflow. Check the air filter(s) for any
accumulations of dirt. Check for blocked return-air or supply-
air grilles. Be sure grilles are open and unobstructed.
• Check the settings on your indoor thermostat. If you de-
sire cooling, see that the temperature control selector is set
below room temperature and the SYSTEM switch is on the
COOL or AUTO position. If you require warmth, be sure the
temperature control selector is set above room temperature
and the SYSTEM switch is at HEAT or AUTO. The FAN switch
should be set at ON for continuous blower operation or AUTO
if you wish the blower to function only while the unit is
operating.
If your comfort system still fails to operate, contact your ser-
vicing dealer for troubleshooting and repairs. Specify your ap-
parent problem, and state the model and serial numbers of
your equipment. (You should have them recorded below.) With
this information, your dealer may be able to offer helpful sug-
gestions over the phone, or save valuable time through knowl-
edgeable preparation for the service call.
REGULAR DEALER MAINTENANCE
In addition to the routine maintenance that you perform, your
home comfort system should be inspected regularly by a prop-
erly trained service technician. The inspection (preferably
each year, but at least every other 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. Service should include proper lubrication of these
components.
• Inspection and, if required, cleaning of indoor and outdoor
coils.
• Inspection of the indoor coil drain pan, plus the drain line.
Service should include cleaning if required.
• A check of all electrical wiring and connections.
• A check for secure physical connections of individual com-
ponents within units.
• Operational check of the heat pump system to determine
actual working condition. Necessary repair and/or adjust-
ment should be performed at this time.
Your servicing dealer may offer an economical service con-
tract that covers seasonal inspections. Ask for further
details.
