OPERATING YOUR UNIT
Theoperationofyour heatpumpsystemiscontrolledby theindoor
thermostat.Yousimplyadjustthethermostatanditmaintainsthein-
door temperature at the level you select. Most thermostats of heat
pump systems have 3 controls: a temperature control selector, a
FANcontrol,andaSYSTEMorMODEcontrol.Refertoyourther-
mostat owner’s manual for more information.
Tobetterprotectyour investmentand toeliminateunnecessary ser-
vice calls, familiarize yourself with the following facts:
1. During heating, increasing the desired temperature setting
morethan 2°F(--17°C) may causethesupplementalheaters
to be turned on for a short period of time t o satisfy the
demand. Needless use of the supplementary heat reduces
potential energy savings.
2. Ice or frost tends to form on the coil during w inter heating
operation. Your unit is designed to automatically melt the
ice. When in this defrost cycle, it is normal for steam or
fog to risefrom theoutdoor unit,and forwater to drain
from the outside ofunit. Do not bealarmed!
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 assoon as possible.
1. Set system MODE control to OFF.
2. Turn off the electrical power supply to unit.

for longer periods at a time and haveshorter “off” periods than on
moderate days.
Heating Mode
With the SYSTEM or MODE control set to HEAT, your unit will
runinheatingmodeuntiltheroomtemperatureisraisedtothelevel
you have selected. Of course, yourunit will runfor longerperiods
to maintain a comfortable environment on cooler days and nights
than on moderate ones.
