How it works to
keep you comfortable
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Trane air
conditioner. Your air conditioner is designed to work with
a matched indoor unit creating a system that delivers
years of dependable service and performance.
Your air conditioning system cools, filters, and dehumidifies your home.
As the air conditioning system circulates the air, it also filters it. The air conditioning
system also extracts excess moisture from the air inside your home, thus helping
to control humidity in muggy summer months.
Acquaint yourself with your new system by spending just a few minutes with
this booklet. Learn about the operation of your system and the small amount of
maintenance it takes to keep it operating at peak efficiency.
A central air conditioner is not a house-
hold appliance. It’s a self-contained
system that requires professional
maintenance and repair.
That’s why attempts at “do-it-yourself”
repairs on an in-warranty unit may void
the remainder of your warranty.
Other than performing the simple main-
tenance recommended in this manual,
you should not attempt to make any
adjustments to your central air condi-
tioning system. Your dealer will be
able to take care of any questions or
problems you may have.
Help ensure top efficiency
by cleaning or replacing the
filter monthly.*
When the air conditioner circulates
and filters the air in your home, dust
and dirt particles build up on the filter.
Excessive accumulation can block the
airflow, forcing the unit to work harder
to maintain desired temperatures. And
the harder your unit works, the more
energy it uses.
Clean or replace your filter twice a
month during seasons when the unit
runs more often.
When replacing your filter(s), always
use the same size and type that was
originally supplied. Filters are available
from your dealer.
Where disposable filters are used, they
must be replaced every month with the
same size as originally supplied.
How to remove your filter.*
Ask your Trane dealer where the filter
is located in your system and how to
service it.
Just be sure to replace it with the arrows
pointing in the direction of the airflow.
Efficiency can be maintained by
keeping outdoor unit clear of
debris, leaves and shrubbery.
Efficient operation of your air conditioner
depends on the free flow of air over the
coil. Anything that blocks the airflow,
causes the compressor to work harder
to move the warm air out of your house.
To avoid overworking your unit, do
not plant flowers or shrubbery right
next to it. Also, make sure that nothing
is stacked against the sides of the unit
or draped over it.
Making sure your outdoor unit is kept
clear at all times helps it work at peak
efficiency.
* Before removing the filter, see the owners manual
furnished with the indoor unit.
