How it works to

keep you comfortable

Congratulations on the purchase of your newTrane air

conditioner.Your air conditioner is designed to work with

a matched indoor unit creating a system that delivers

years of dependable service and performance.

Your air conditioning system cools, filters, and dehumidifies your home.

As the air conditioning system circulates the air, it also filters it. The air conditioning

system also extracts excess moisture from the air inside your home, thus helping

to control humidity in muggy summer months.

Acquaint yourself with your new system by spending just a few minutes with

this booklet. Learn about the operation of your system and the small amount of

maintenance it takes to keep it operating at peak efficiency.

Proper maintenance for

maximum efficiency

A central air conditioner is not a house-

hold appliance. It’s a self-contained

system that requires professional

maintenance and repair.

Help ensure top efficiency

by cleaning or replacing the

filter monthly.*

When the air conditioner circulates

and filters the air in your home, dust

and dirt particles build up on the filter.

Excessive accumulation can block the

air flow, forcing the unit to work harder

to maintain desired temperatures. And

the harder your unit works, the more

energy it uses.

That’s why attempts at “do-it-yourself”

repairs on an in-warranty unit may void

the remainder of your warranty.

Other than performing the simple main-

tenance recommended in this manual,

you should not attempt to make any

adjustments to your central air condi-

tioning system.Your dealer will be

able to take care of any questions or

problems you may have.

Clean or replace your filter twice a

month during seasons when the unit

runs more often.

Disconnect all electrical power to the indoor air

handler or furnace before removing access panels

to perform any maintenance. Disconnect power to

both the indoor and outdoor units. NOTE: There

may be more than one electrical disconnect

switch. Electric shock can cause personal injury

or death.

How to remove your filter.*

To avoid overworking your unit, do

not plant flowers or shrubbery right

next to it. Also, make sure that nothing

is stacked against the sides of the unit

or draped over it.

Ask your Trane dealer where the filter

is located in your system and how to

service it.

Just be sure to replace it with the arrows

pointing in the direction of the air flow.

Making sure your outdoor unit is kept

clear at all times helps it work at peak

efficiency.

CAUTION

Although special care has been taken to minimize

sharp edges in the construction of your unit, be

extremely careful when handling parts or reaching

into the unit.

* Before removing the filter, see the owners manual

furnished with the indoor unit.

Proper maintenance (cont.)

Keep your air conditioner looking

new for years.

CAUTION

WARNING

Condensate drains should be checked and cleaned

periodically to assure condensate can drain freely

from coil to drain. If condensate cannot drain freely,

water damage could occur.

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,

service, maintenance, or use can cause explosion,

fire, electrical shock, or other conditions which

may cause personal injury or property damage.

Consult a qualified installer or service agency for

information or assistance. The qualified installer

or agency must use factory-authorized kits or

accessories when modifying this product.

Clean the enamel finish of your air

conditioner with soap and water. For

stubborn grease spots, use a household

detergent. Do not use lacquer thinner or

other synthetic solvents as they may

damage the finish.

• Inspection and, if required, cleaning

of indoor and outdoor coils.

• Inspection of the indoor coil drain

pan, plus the primary and secondary

drain lines. If supplied, the auxiliary

drain pan and line should be inspected

at this time. Service should include

cleaning, if required.

• A check of all electrical wiring and

connections.

• A check for secure physical connec-

tions of individual components within

units.

Call your dealer for additional

routine maintenance

• Operational check for the air condi-

tioning system to determine actual

working condition. Necessary repair

and/or adjustment should be per-

formed at this time.

• Your servicing dealer may offer an

economical service or preventative

maintenance agreement that covers

seasonal inspections. Ask your

dealer for further details.

Your air conditioning system should be

inspected regularly by a properly trained

service technician. The inspection

(preferably twice each year, but at

least once a year) should include

the following:

• Routine inspection of air filter(s).

Replacement or cleaning as required.

• Inspection and cleaning of the blower

wheel, housing, and motor as required.

How to operate your system

for peak performance

Setting the temperature

Let the thermostat do its job.

thermostat. Then wait for at least three

more hours after the power has been

restored before turning the thermostat

back on. Failure to follow this procedure

could result in damage to your system.

Place the system switch on COOL, and

the fan switch on AUTO. Then set the

temperature by using the indicator on

the thermostat* control.

Your system will perform most efficiently

when you let the thermostat control it.

Turning the system on and off manually

is usually much less efficient. So let the

thermostat do its job.

Now your system will cool your house

whenever the indoor temperature climbs

above the thermostat setting. It will shut

off when the desired room temperature

is reached.

CAUTION

We recommend keeping the temper-

ature setting at 78°F for cooling, 68°F

for heating. However, you can select

the temperature that meets your

comfort level.

If heating system is not operational during the cold

weather months, provisions must be taken to

prevent freeze-up of all water pipes and water

receptacles. This is very important during times

of vacancy.

In winter, it works the same way.

When the system switch is on HEAT, the

system will operate whenever the room

temperature falls below the temperature

setting. Once the desired temperature is

reached, the system will shut off.

The point is, once you’ve set the

thermostat, keep subsequent

adjustments to a minimum.

How to help reduce summer humidity.

In summer, your air conditioner does

more than cool the air — it helps

remove the excess moisture, that can

make the inside of your home feel

muggy. When removing this moisture

your system must work harder than

when simply cooling the air.

When you’re going to be away from

home for a few days, or when outdoor

temperatures are moderate, don’t let

the air conditioner run unnecessarily.

Lower the thermostat to 55°F in the

winter. And raise it to 85°F in summer.

Then when you return, or when tempera-

ture conditions dictate, you can reset the

system and it will resume making your

home comfortable again.

Save energy with an electronic

programmable thermostat.*

Program the thermostat for the temp-

eratures that meet your comfort level.

The Trane electronic programmable

thermostat has up to four setup or

setback periods each day, plus week-

end and vacation programs.

That’s why kitchens, bathrooms and

utility rooms should have vents and

exhaust fans. These devices help

prevent accumulation of moisture

throughout the rest of the house so

your air conditioner works less to keep

you comfortable.

Never stop the system by shutting off

the main power.

* Accessory, purchased separately. Carefully read the

accompanying thermostat manual for complete

operating instructions.

If the main power is ever disconnected

for more than three hours, turn off the

Extra Energy Tips

of still air will cut heat transfer

considerably.

Insulation

Cooling

13. Set the thermostat as high as

comfort will permit.

1. Make sure your home is properly

insulated. This is the single most

important step in conserving

energy. Thermal insulation should

be specified in terms of thermal

resistance (R-values). R-30 (10")

is recommended for ceilings, R-11

(3-1/2) for exterior walls and floors

over unheated areas. In colder

climates, consider additional

insulation.

5. Install storm doors at all entrances

to your house.

14. Make sure attics are adequately

ventilated to relieve heat buildup.

If necessary, improve air flow by

adding or enlarging vents.

6. Keep all windows and doors closed.

7. Remember that by increasing the

glass area, you increase the amount

of heat added in summer and lost

in winter.

15. When building a new house or

renovating an old one, choose

light-colored roof shingles to reflect

more of the sun’s heat.

8. Make sure fireplaces have tight-

fitting dampers which can be closed

when the fireplace is not in use.

16. During moderate weather, don’t use

2. Infiltration of humid outside air is

your heating and cooling system’s

worst enemy — it could account for

15 to 30% of air conditioning energy

requirements. Find the places where

air can sneak into the home and

plug them with caulking, weather-

stripping or plastic. Also, weather-

strip and caulk around all entrance

doors and windows.

the air conditioner unnecessarily.

9. Invest in a humidifier to conserve

energy in winter. The air in your

home won’t be as dry, so you stay

comfortable at a lower temperature

setting.

17. Draw blinds or drapes to block the

sunlight during the hottest part of

the day.

18. Install awnings over windows

exposed to direct sunlight.

Heating

10. Locate the thermostat on an inside

wall away from windows and doors.

19. In the cooling season, don’t run

kitchen and bath exhaust fans

longer than necessary.

3. Cut heat transfer through your

windows by 40 to 50% with double

glazing (two panes of glass separ-

ated by a sealed air space) and

low-e glass.

11. Set the thermostat as low as

comfort permits. Each degree over

68°F can add 3% to the amount of

energy needed for heating.

20. Don’t place lamps, TV sets or other

heat producing devices beneath a

wall-mounted thermostat. Rising

heat from the equipment may

cause the air conditioner system

to over cool your house.

12. People generate heat. So lower the

thermostat a degree or two when

expecting a large group of guests.

4. Use wood- or metal-frame storm

windows even if single-glazed

windows are high quality. The
