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.

How to operate your system for peak performance
When removing this moisture your system
must work harder than when simply
cooling the air.
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 outdoor unit
works less to keep you comfortable.
Many homeowners have found that
operating their system in continuous fan
mode (thermostat in the “on” position)
offers benefits such as elimination of hot
and cold spots in the home and constant
air filtration. However, continuous fan
mode during cooling operation may not
be appropriate in humid climates. If the
indoor air exceeds 60% relative humidity
or simply feels uncomfortably humid, it is
recommended that the fan only be used
in the AUTO mode.

Setting the temperature.
Place the system switch on COOL, and
the fan switch on AUTO. Then set the
temperature by using the indicator on the
thermostat* control.
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.
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.

Save energy with a
programmable thermostat.*
Program the thermostat for the
temperatures that meet your comfort
level. The Trane programmable thermostat
has up to four setup or setback periods
each day, plus weekend and vacation
programs.

Let the thermostat do its job.
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.
We recommend keeping the temperature
setting at 78°F for cooling, 68°F for
heat ing. However, you can select the
temperature that meets your comfort level.
The point is, once you’ve set the
thermostat, keep subsequent adjustments
to a minimum.
When you’re going to be away from
home for a few days, or when outdoor
temperatures are moderate, don’t let the
outdoor unit 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 temperature
conditions dictate, you can reset the
system and it will resume making your
home comfortable again.

How to help reduce summer humidity.
In summer, your outdoor unit does more
than cool the air — it helps remove the
excess moisture that can make the inside
of your home feel muggy.
