Installation Requirements

Unpack and inspect unit for shipping damage. Select appropriate location.

1. Location: Place on stable, level pad away from obstructions with adequate clearance.
2. Electrical: Connect to dedicated 240V circuit with proper disconnect and overcurrent protection.
3. Refrigerant Lines: Connect pre-charged linesets following proper brazing and evacuation procedures.
4. Condensate Drain: Ensure proper drainage away from foundation.
5. Thermostat: Install compatible communicating or conventional thermostat.

WARNING! Installation must be performed by qualified HVAC technician. High voltage present. Follow all local codes.

First-Time Startup

After installation, perform system commissioning.

1. Power up: Turn on disconnect switch and indoor unit.
2. Thermostat setup: Configure thermostat for system type (heat pump), stages, and desired settings.
3. Test modes: Run system in cooling and heating (if heat pump) to verify operation.
4. Check airflow: Verify proper airflow at registers and condenser unit.
5. Monitor pressures: Technician should verify refrigerant charge using subcooling/superheat method.

CAUTION! Do not operate without proper refrigerant charge. Allow system to complete startup cycle.

4. Restore power and configure thermostat.

Tip: Use thermostat compatible with variable-speed systems for full functionality.

Operating Modes

Select mode via thermostat.

1. Cooling: Compressor runs at variable speeds to maintain setpoint efficiently.
2. Heating (if heat pump): Reversing valve engages for heat pump operation.
3. Fan Only: Indoor blower operates without compressor.
4. Auto: System automatically switches between heating and cooling based on setpoints.
5. Dehumidify: Enhanced dehumidification in cooling mode.

WARNING! Do not switch between heating and cooling rapidly. Allow system to complete cycle.

Maintenance Procedures

Regular maintenance ensures efficiency and longevity.

1. Monthly: Check/clean air filters indoors.
2. Seasonal: Clean outdoor coil (gentle water spray, no high pressure).
3. Annual: Professional inspection: check refrigerant charge, electrical connections, condensate drain, fan motor, and overall operation.
4. Clear area: Keep 2 feet clearance around outdoor unit from vegetation and debris.

CAUTION! Turn off power before any maintenance. Coil fins are sharp.

Care & Cleaning

Outdoor unit: Clean coil with garden hose (no detergents). Keep fins straight. Indoor unit: Replace filter regularly. Keep drain line clear.

CAUTION! Do not use pressure washer on coil. Do not bend fins. Electrical components are not user-serviceable.
