UNIT

Coil Cleaning

The most visible part of the outdoor unit is the large "coil"
wrapped around the inner components of the Heat Pump. If grass
clippings, leaves, shrubbery,
and debris are kept away from the
coil. minimal care is needed. If the coil becomes dirty, clean the
coil surface with a vacuum cleaner using a soft brush attachment.
Use an up and down motion being careful not to bend or damage
the delicate, aluminum coil fins. If dirt is deep in the coil, contact
your dealer for service.
•

Base Pan Drainage

Periodically

check for and remove

debris that has settled

around

the base of your outdoor unit. This will ensure proper drainage
of the base pan and eliminate standing water inside the outdoor

•

]

Level Installation

Your Carrier dealer will install the outdoor unit in a level position.
If the support base settles or shifts and the unit is no longer level,
be sure to re-level
it promptly to assure proper drainage. If you
notice water or ice collecting
