To better protect your investment and to eliminate unnecessary service calls, familiarize yourself with the following facts: yourself, please property Never operate your unit without filters in place. An accumulation of dust and lint on internal parts of your unit can cause loss of efficiency and blower motor and/or compressor damage. The air filter(s) should be checked every 3 or 4 weeks and changed or cleaned whenever it becomes dirty. Dirty filters produce excessive stress on the blower motor and can cause the motor to overheat and shut down. This unit must have air filters in place before it can be operated. These filters can be located in one of at least two places. In many applications, the installer will provide return air filter grilles mounted on the wall or ceiling of the conditioned structure. In the instance of filter grilles, the filters can simply be removed from the grille and replaced. The other typical application is an accessory filter rack installed inside the unit itself. The following information is given to assist in changing filters used in these internal filter racks. Filter kits are available as a purchased accessory or a factory installed option. The same filter kit is included with the accessory economizers and factory installed economizers.
