SLEEVE / DRAIN
Inspect the sleeve and drain system periodically (at least yearly or bi-yearly) and clean of all obstructions and
debris.
Clean both areas with an antibacterial and antifungal cleaner. Rinse both items thoroughly with water and
ensure that the drain outlets are operating correctly. Check the sealant around the sleeve and reseal areas as
needed.
FRONT COVER
Clean the front cover when needed. Use a mild detergent. Wash and rinse with warm water. Allow it to dry
thoroughly before reinstalling it in the chassis.
CONDENSATE DISPOSAL SYSTEM
Part 1: The system’s first stage increases energy efficiency utilizing a factory installed fan that slings the cold
condensate onto the hot outdoor coil.
Part 2: When high outdoor humidity prevents slinger from disposing of all the condensate, the excess condensate
overflows into the condensate drain pan and out of the
3/4”
internal drain connections.
RoUtInE maIntEnanCE (Continued)
Do not drill holes in the bottom of the drain pan or the
underside of the unit. Not following this notice could
result in damage to the unit or condensate water leaking
inappropriately which could cause water damage to
surrounding property.
NOTICE
If Parts 1 and 2 fail for any reason, excess condensate
overflows from a spillway directly into the wall plenum to
the outside of the building.
IF THIS OCCURS, THIS IS
A WARNING THAT THE CHASSIS OR DRAIN NEED
SERVICING.
