Condensate drain: Ensure proper drainage from indoor unit.
Final check: Verify all connections, charge refrigerant, test operation.

WARNING! Installation involves high voltage and refrigerant under pressure. Only trained professionals should perform installation.

First-Time Startup

After installation, perform system commissioning.

Power on: Turn on disconnect switch and indoor unit power.
Thermostat setup: Set to COOL mode, temperature below room temp.
System check: Listen for compressor and fan operation; verify cooling at vents.
Inspect: Check for unusual noises, vibrations, or refrigerant leaks.
Register product: Complete warranty registration online or by mail.

CAUTION! Do not operate without proper refrigerant charge. Ensure electrical connections are tight.

Controls and Settings

Primary control via compatible thermostat. No user controls on outdoor unit.

Thermostat Functions: MODE (COOL, OFF, FAN), FAN (AUTO, ON), TEMPERATURE SETTING.

Advanced Settings (if thermostat supports): Setback schedules, fan circulation, filter reminder. Outdoor unit operation is automatic based on thermostat demand.

Connecting to Thermostat

Low-voltage connection between indoor air handler/furnace and thermostat controls outdoor unit.

Turn off power to indoor and outdoor units at disconnect.
Connect thermostat wires: Y (cooling), C (common), G (fan), R (power) as per wiring diagram.
At outdoor unit, connect Y and C from indoor unit to corresponding terminals.
Restore power and test sequence.

Tip: Use correct gauge thermostat wire (typically 18 AWG). Ensure connections are secure.

Operating Modes

Unit operates when thermostat calls for cooling.

Cooling Mode: Thermostat set to COOL, temperature setpoint below room temperature.
Fan Mode: Thermostat set to FAN ON for continuous indoor fan operation (outdoor unit off).
Auto Mode: Thermostat FAN set to AUTO, fan runs only when cooling is active.
Off: Thermostat set to OFF, system is inactive.

WARNING! Do not switch system between HEAT and COOL modes rapidly. Allow a few minutes between mode changes.

Maintenance Schedule

Regular maintenance ensures efficiency and longevity.

Monthly: Check/clean/replace indoor air filter.
Annually (Before cooling season): Professional inspection and service.
Professional Service Includes: Clean condenser coil, check refrigerant charge, inspect electrical components, check fan motor and blades, verify system pressures and temperatures.

Care & Cleaning

Outdoor Unit: Keep area clear of debris, leaves, and vegetation (minimum 2 feet clearance). Gently clean condenser coil fins with a soft brush or low-pressure water hose (power off). Do not bend fins.

CAUTION! Turn off power before any cleaning. Do not use high-pressure water or sharp tools on coils.
