ROUTINE MAINTENANCE BY OWNER
You can do some of the periodic maintenance functions for
your WCY-G unit yourself; this includes replacing the dispos-
able or cleaning the permanent air filters, cleaning the unit
cabinet, clearing the condenser coil, and conducting a general
unit inspection on a regular basis.
Be sure to inspect them at least once each month when
the system is in constant operation. (In new homes, check
the filters every week for the first four (4) weeks.)
If you have disposable-type filters, replace them with new
filters of the same type and size. Do not attempt to clean
disposable filters.
Permanent-type filters can be cleaned by washing them with
a mild detergent and water. Make sure that the filters are
thoroughly dry before re-installing them in the unit (or duct
system).
NOTE: It may be necessary to replace permanent filters
annually if washing fails to clean the filter or if the filter shows
signs of deterioration. Be sure to use the same type and size
as was originally installed.
CONDENSER COIL
Unfiltered air circulates through the unit's condenser coil and
can cause the coil's surface to become clogged with dust, dirt,
etc. To clean the coil, vertically (i.e., with the fins) stroke the
coil surface with a soft-bristled brush.
Be sure to keep all vegetation away from the condenser coil
area.
MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BY SERVICEMAN--
COOLING SEASON
To keep your unit operating safely and efficiently, the manu-
facturer recommends that a qualified serviceman check the
entire system at least once each year and any other time that
you feel one is needed. Your serviceman should examine
these areas of your WCY-G unit:
● filters (for cleaning or replacement)
● motors and drive system components
● gaskets (for possible replacement)
● safety controls (for mechanical cleaning)
● electrical components and wiring (for possible replacement and
connection tightness)
● condensate drain (for cleaning)
● unit duct connections (to see that they are physically sound and
sealed to the unit casing)
● unit mounting support (for structural integrity)
● the unit (for obvious unit deterioration)
MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BY SERVICEMAN--
HEATING SEASON
Complete the unit inspections and service routines described below
at the beginning of each heating season.
● Visually inspect the unit to ensure that the airflow required for
condenser coil is not obstructed from the unit.
● Inspect the control panel wiring to verify that all electrical
connections are tight and that the wire insulation is intact.
