OPERATION UNDER EXTREME
CONDITIONS
Your air conditioner will run as long as necessary to maintain the
indoor temperature selected on your thermostat. On extremely hot
days, your air conditioner will run for longer periods at a time
than on moderate days. Your system will also run for longer
periods of time under the following conditions:
S Frequent opening of exterior doors
S Operating laundry appliances
S Taking hot showers
S More than the usual number of people present in the home
S More than the normal number of electric lights in use
S Drapes or blinds are open on the sunny side of the home
GET THE MOST FROM YOUR
COOLING SYSTEM
These simple suggestions can help you enjoy years of maximum
cooling comfort:
S Listen To Your System
Get to know the start--up and operational sounds your indoor and
outdoor units make. Learn to recognize and identify unusual
sounds that may signal the need for service.
S Keep Filter Clean
A clogged or improperly installed air filter on your indoor unit
will increase operating costs and shorten the life of the unit. Plan
to inspect the filter monthly and clean or replace it as needed.
S Do Not Block Floor, W all or Ceiling Vents
When drapes, furniture, toys or other common household items
block vents, the restricted airflow lessens the system’s efficiency
and life span.
S Do Not Cover or Block Outdoor Unit
The outdoor unit needs unrestricted airflow. Do not cover it or
place items on or next to it. Do not allow grass clippings, leaves,
or other debris to accumulate on the sides or top of the unit. And,
maintain a 12” (304.8 mm) minimum clearance between the
outdoor unit and tall grass, vines, shrubs, etc.
S Check Condensate Drain
Your air conditioner removes humidity from your home during
the cooling season. After a few minutes of operation, water
should trickle from the condensate drain of the indoor coil. Check
this occasionally to be sure the drain system is not clogged.
Drainage will be limited if you live in a very dry environment.
S Do Not Operate Below 5 5 _F(13_C)
Your outdoor unit is not designed to operate when outdoor
temperatures are lower than 55_F(13_C) without modification.
If operation below this temperature is required, consult your
Bryant dealer.
