General Information
Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, and
CAUTION. These words are safety alert words. DANGER
indicates the most serious hazards which will result in severe
personal injury or death. WARNING indicates hazards which
could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used to
indicate unsafe practices which could result in minor injury or
property damage.
When AUTO is selected, the fan will only operate as required
during the heating or cooling cycles. The fan mode can be
used to operate the indoor fan continuously by selecting ON.
Continuous fan mode during cooling operation may not be
appropriate in humid climates. If the indoor air exceeds 60%
relative humidity or simply feels uncomfortably humid, it is
recommended that the fan only be used in the AUTO mode.
To ensure that the thermostat operates properly, it must be
level and positioned to avoid the influence of such external
heat sources as lamps, televisions or other heat-producing
appliances.
Overview
Your combination dual fuel heating/electric cooling unit is
designed to provide comfort all year long with safe, efficient,
trouble-free operation. It is important that you understand how
to operate and maintain your unit to keep it operating safely
and efficiently. This guide will acquaint you with these important
procedures. Familiarize yourself with this manual and store it in
a convenient location for future reference.
Remember these instructions at all times:
• Never perform any maintenance procedures until
the electrical power to the unit is turned off.
• Never perform any maintenance procedures until the
gas valve in the gas supply line is turned off.
Any additions, changes, or conversions required in order for
the unit to satisfactorily meet the application needs, should
be made by a qualified product distributor or local dealer,
using factory specified and approved parts. See Figure 1 for
component layout.
• Never remove any panel from the unit while it is operating.
• Never remove panels or parts from the unit that
are not discussed in this guide.
• Never cover the unit since it is designed to operate
year round.
• Never store anything flammable or combustible
around or near the unit.
Your unit is of complex design. To ensure that it performs safely
and gives long-lasting service, some of the maintenance work
must be performed by a qualified service technician.
When a service technician is referred to in this manual, it is
describing a service technician that has had special training
or a number of years experience in servicing this type of
equipment. It is your responsibility to select a qualified service
company that can provide a service technician of this caliber.

Two Stage Cooling Models – For units with the feature of two
staged cooling, the thermostat will determine whether to run
the system at the full capacity or a lower capacity. This depends
on the daily cooling load of the conditioned space. The system is
more efficient when running at low capacity (1st stage). At lower
outdoor temperatures 1st stage will be sufficient to maintain
indoor comfort.
Burners
Note: Depending on furnace size,
your unit may have 1, 2, or 3 burners.
Figure 1. Component Layout
Thermostat
Room thermostats are delicate temperature-sensing controls.
Their main function is to energize and de-energize the heating
or cooling circuit to maintain the temperature setting you select.
With the thermostat set to COOL, the system will automatically
cycle on and off as well as from low (1st stage) to high (2nd
stage) as needed to maintain the thermostat set point for indoor
comfort. During 1st stage operation the compressor, as well
as the indoor fan, will run at a reduced speed. This produces a
reduced capacity which is more efficient than the high capacity
2nd stage. If the low capacity (1st stage) is not sufficient to
maintain the thermostat setting, the system will switch to high
speed (2nd stage). As the thermostat temperature setting is
reached, the system will cycle to low speed then off.
Many thermostats contain a room thermometer to indicate the
approximate room temperature, and a temperature scale to
select the desired indoor air temperature. In addition, most
thermostats have modes of HEAT, OFF and COOL, and fan
modes of ON and AUTO.
When OFF is selected your unit will not operate in either
heat or cool modes. If HEAT or COOL is selected, the unit
will automatically cycle on and off to maintain the desired
temperature settings.

Regular Owner Maintenance – All Packaged Systems
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.
Never use combustible cleaning fluids on any part of the furnace.
You can perform some of the periodic maintenance functions for
the unit yourself; this includes replacing (disposable) or cleaning
(permanent) the air filters, cleaning the cabinet, cleaning the
condenser coil, and conducting a general unit inspection on a
regular basis.
Unit Cabinet
Even though the unit cabinet is designed to withstand exposure
to outdoor weather, you can extend the life of the cabinet panel
by cleaning and waxing it twice each year. Application of a light
coat of automobile wax is recommended.
Air Filters
Condenser Coil
Unfiltered air circulates through the units condenser coil and can
cause the coil's surface to become clogged with dust and dirt.
Have the coils checked by a service technician each cooling season.
It is very important to keep the central duct system air filters
clean. Be sure to inspect them at least once each month when
the system is in constant operation (in new homes, check the
filters weekly for the first 4 weeks).
Be sure to keep all vegetation away from the condenser coil area.
If you have a disposable-type filter replace it with a new filter
of the same type and size. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN
DISPOSABLE FILTERS.
General Unit Inspection
Occasionally check over the unit; look and listen for unusual or
abnormal operating characteristics. Do not remove any access
panels. If you suspect your unit is not operating properly, contact
a service technician for instructions.
Permanent-type filters can be cleaned by washing them with a
mild detergent and water. Make sure that the filters are thoroughly
dry before reinstalling them in the unit (or duct system).
