OPERATING YOUR UNIT
The operation of your unit is controlled by the indoor temperature
control (thermostat). You simply adjust the thermostat and it
maintains the indoor temperature at the level you select. Most
thermostats of heating and cooling systems have 3 controls: a
temperature control selector, a FAN control, and a SYSTEM or
MODE control. Refer to your thermostat owner’s manual for more
information.
To better protect your investment and to eliminate unnecessary
service calls, familiarize yourself with the following facts:
1. During heat pump heating, increasing the thermostat setting
more than 2_F(1.1_C) may cause the supplemental gas heat
to be turned on for a short period of time to satisfy the
thermostat. Needless use of the supplementary heat reduces
potential energy savings.
2. Ice or frost tends to form on the coil during winter heating
operation. Your heat pump is designed to automatically melt
the ice. When in this defrost cycle, it is normal for steam
or fog to rise from the outdoor unit. Do not be alarmed!
Cooling Mode
With the SYSTEM control set to COOL, your unit will run in
cooling mode until the indoor temperature is lowered to the level
you have selected. On extremely hot days, your unit will run for
longer periods at a time and have shorter “off” periods than on
moderate days.
Heat Pump Heating Mode
With the SYSTEM or MODE control of yourindoor thermostat set
to HEAT, your unit will run in heat pump heating mode until room
temperature is raised to the level you have selected. Of course, your
system will run for longer periods to maintain a comfortable
environment on cooler days and nights than on moderate ones.
Gas Heat Mode
Your heat pump is your primary heating source. Your system is
also equipped with a supplemental gas heating source. On cold
days and nights, your system will automatically turn on the
supplemental heat in order to maintain the level of comfort you
have selected.
When your heat pump needs additional heat to keep you
comfortable, your thermostat will turn on the supplemental gas
heat.
