IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING:
To avoid possible equipment damage, fi re,
or death, the following instructions must be
observed regarding unit location, combustion
air requirements, and operational procedures.
• To achieve optimum performance and minimize
equipment failure, it is recommended that periodic
maintenance be performed on this unit. The ability
to properly perform maintenance on this equipment
requires certain mechanical skills and tools. Please
consult your dealer for maintenance information and
availability of maintenance contracts.
• The area around the gas heating/electric cooling unit
and the vicinity of any other gas appliances must be
kept clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline,
and other fl ammable vapors and liquids. Do not store
or use fl ammable items such as paint, varnish, or
strippers in the vicinity of the unit.
• Do not use the area around the unit as a storage area.
This area must be kept clean and clear of loose or
exposed insulation materials. Examine the unit’s area
when it is installed or when insulation is added, since
some insulation materials may be combustible.
• Do not use this appliance if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualifi ed service technician
to inspect the unit and to replace any part of the
control system and any gas control which has been
under water.
• Familiarize yourself with the controls that shut off the
gas and electrical power to the unit. If the unit is to be
shut down for an extended period of time, turn off both
the gas and electrical power. For your safety always
turn off both the gas and electrical power before
performing service or maintenance on the furnace. If
the gas supply must be shut off, refer to the gas valve
label (Figures 3 or 4, pages 5-6).
Combustion Air Supply
WARNING:
Combustion air must not be drawn from a
corrosive atmosphere.
The gas heating/electric cooling unit needs an adequate
supply of combustion and ventilation air for proper and safe
operation. Do not block or obstruct air openings on the unit
or air openings supplying the area where it is installed.
If the unit is operated with inadequate combustion air
supply, the fl ame roll-out control switch located above
the burners will open, turning off the gas supply to the
burners. The fl ame roll-out control is a manual reset
device. Do not attempt to reset this device yourself! Call
your servicing contractor.
To maximize heat exchanger life, the combustion air
must be free of chemicals which form corrosive acidic
compounds in the combustion gases.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not store any chemicals with
fl ammable or caustic vapors near the vent termination.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
Ductwork
WARNING:
Failure to prevent products of combustion
from being circulated into the occupied space
can create potentially hazardous conditions
including carbon monoxide poisoning that
could result in personal injury or death.
The duct connections must be physically sound and sealed
to the unit’s casing to prevent products of combustion from
entering the occupied space.
The return air and circulating air ductwork must not be
connected to any other heat producing device such as
a fi replace insert, stove, etc. Doing so may result in fi re,
explosion, personal injury, carbon monoxide poisoning,
or property damage.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Thermostat styles vary. Some models may not include
the AUTO mode and others will have the AUTO in place
of the HEAT and COOL. Others may include all three.
Please refer to the thermostat’s User Manual for detailed
programming instructions.
The thermostat should be mounted about 5 feet above the
fl oor on an inside wall and not on an outside wall or other
location where its operation may be adversely affected by
radiant heat from fi replaces, sunlight, or lighting fi xtures,
and convective heat from warm air registers or electrical
appliances.
