How it works to  
keep you comfortable  
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Trane 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.  
Efficiency can be maintained by  
When replacing your filter(s), always  
use the same size and type that was  
originally supplied. Filters are available

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.

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

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.  
comfort will permit.  
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  
the air conditioner unnecessarily.  
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.  
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
