OPERATING YOUR UNIT
The operation of your unit is controlled by the Infinityr UI. You
simplyprogramtheUIanditmaintainstheindoortemperatureatthe
level you select. See UI manual for detailed instructions.
Tobetter protect your investment and to eliminate unnecessary ser-
vice calls, familiarize yourself with the following facts:
Step 1—Cooling Mode
WiththeSYSTEMcontrol settoCOOL,your unit willrun incool-
ing mode until the indoor temperature is lowered to the level you
haveselected. On extremely hotdays, your unitwill run for longer
periods at a time and have shorter “off” periods than on moderate
days.
Step 2—Hybrid Heating Mode
Your HYBRID HEAT system combines the strengths of two heat-
ing sources; an electric heat pump and a gas furnace. A HYBRID
HEAT system provides more control over your monthly energy
bills by allowing you to choose the most economical method of
heating. As conditions change, the system automatically switches
between the two sources to maintain greater ef ficiency than with a
single--source heating system.
WiththeUIcontrolsettoHEAT,yourunitwillnormallyoperatethe
electric heat pump until the room temperature is raised to the level
you haveselected. If thedemand forheatcannot bemetby theelec-
tricheatpump,yourUIcontrolwillautomaticallyswitchtogas heat
until the call for heat is satisfied.
On colder days, your system may automatically switch to gas heat
as the primary heating source to maximize the overall system effi-
ciency and maintain your comfort level.
When your heat pump needs additional heat to keep you comfort-
able, your thermostat will turn on the supplemental gas heat.
