Owners Manual A NOTE ABOUT SAFETY Any time you see this symbol in manuals, instructions and on the unit, be aware of the potential for personal injury. There are three levels of precaution: WARNING signifies hazards that could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices which would result in minor personal injury or product and property damage. NOTE is used to highlight suggestions which will result in enhanced installation, reliability, or operation.

ABOUT YOUR HEAT PUMP SYSTEM Our products are designed, tested and built in accordance with US Department of Energy standardized procedures and other standards; however, actual operating results and efficiencies may vary based on manufacturing and supplier tolerances, equipment configuration, operating conditions and installation practices. Identifying Your System Your new Bryant heat pump system is what we call a split system. It has an outdoor unit and an indoor unit connected to each other with copper tubing called refrigerant lines. Each of these units has a rating plate with the model and serial numbers you will need to reference when calling an authorized Bryant dealer about your system. Take a few moments now to locate those numbers and record them in the spaces provided on the cover of this booklet.

USING YOUR NEW BRYANT SYSTEM Your Bryant heat pump system is controlled by a wall-mounted Evolution Connex Control or thermostat installed inside your home. See the Evolution Connex Control or thermostat Homeowner Guide for more details on system operation.

VARIABLE SPEED OPERATION You may notice your system runs for longer periods of time. This system is designed to meet cooling or heating needs of the home at a wide range of conditions. Your indoor temperature will remain more consistent with fewer drafts, better humidity control, enhanced comfort and enhanced energy efficiency.

HEATING AND COOLING YOUR HOME For heating or cooling operation, make sure the System or Mode control is set to the appropriate mode. Then, adjust the Temperature control to your desired setting. Finally, use the Fan control to select Automatic (turns on and off as heating is needed) or On (runs continuously). Depending on your typical heating needs, your home comfort system may also include a supplementary heating source that will automatically turn on as needed. You may also select this heat source manually if desired.

OPERATION UNDER EXTREME CONDITIONS Your heat pump will run as long as necessary to maintain the indoor temperature selected on your Evolution Connex Control or thermostat. On extremely hot days, your heat pump will run for longer periods at a time than on moderate days. Your system will also run for longer periods of time under the following conditions: Frequent opening of exterior doors Operating laundry appliances Taking hot showers More than the usual number of people present in the home More than the normal number of electric lights in use Drapes or blinds are open on the sunny side of the home

IMPORTANT HEAT PUMP FACTS Heat pump systems have a few unique features and operations that you should be aware of: During the heating cycle, your heat pump delivers a constant flow of

air at around 95F (35C) to about 105F (41C), compared to sudden blasts of hot air provided by a typical furnace.

Ice or frost may form on the outdoor coil during winter heating operation. Your heat pump will automatically melt the ice using its defrost cycle. During defrost, you may see steam or fog rising from the outdoor unit, which is normal. At the beginning and end of the defrost cycle, you may hear a whoosh sound coming from the unit. This is normal for heat pump applications.

Heat pumps installed in areas expecting snow are elevated with support feet.

SOUND Your Evolution V heat pump is different from most heating and cooling systems. Because this is a variable speed system, it is designed to operate at different speeds depending on the temperature and humidity conditions. You may notice the sound coming from the outdoor unit changing from time to time, and from season to season. In winter, the system will operate at higher speeds as it gets colder outside to maintain its heating performance. The higher speed produces a higher sound. This change of speed allows the system to operate more efficiently and maintain comfortable conditions inside the home. You may also hear a slight hissing sound when near the outdoor unit in the off-cycle. This is the sound of system pressure equalization which is required to enable soft and easy starting of the next cycle. These sounds are normal and do not represent a problem with your system.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Simple, routine maintenance as described below will enhance your heat pump systems ability to operate economically and dependably. Always remember the following safety precautions:

Keep Filter Clean A clogged or improperly installed air filter on your indoor unit will increase operating costs and shorten the life of the unit. For detailed filter cleaning information refer to indoor unit literature. Do Not Block Floor, Wall or Ceiling Vents When drapes, furniture, toys or other common household items block vents, the restricted airflow lessens the systems efficiency and life span. Do Not Cover or Block Outdoor Unit The outdoor unit needs unrestricted airflow. Do not cover it or place items on or next to it. Do not allow grass clippings, leaves, or other debris to accumulate on the sides or top of the unit. And, maintain a 12 (305 mm) minimum clearance between the outdoor unit and tall grass, vines, shrubs, etc. Check Condensate Drain Your heat pump removes humidity from your home during the cooling season. After a few minutes of operation, water should trickle from the condensate drain of the indoor coil. Check this occasionally to be sure the drain system is not clogged. Drainage will be limited if you live in a very dry environment. Do Not Operate Below Minimum Operating Temperatures in

Cooling Mode Your outdoor unit is not designed to operate below the minimum temperatures shown below. The minimum temperature depends on which wall control is being used:

With Evolution Connex Control: 40F (4C) With Thermostat Control: 55F (13C)

System protections may not allow the unit to operate below these minimum temperatures. Do Not Operate Above 66F/19C in Heating Mode Your outdoor unit is not designed to operate in heating mode when outdoor temperatures are higher than 66F (19C). You can safely operate the system above 66F (19C) in emergency or auxiliary heat. Minimum Heating Temperature This unit is not designed to operate at extreme cold outdoor temperatures. When the outdoor temperature is below 10F (-12C) the unit control may automatically shut the heat pump off and energize auxiliary heat to maintain the desired temperature set point inside the home.

Base Pan Drainage Periodically check for and remove debris that has settled around the base of your outdoor unit. This will ensure proper drainage of the base pan and eliminate standing water inside the outdoor unit. Level Installation Your Bryant dealer will install the outdoor unit in a level position. If the support base settles or shifts and the unit is no longer level, be sure to re-level it promptly to assure proper drainage. If you notice water or ice collecting beneath the unit, arrange for it to be drained away from the unit. SEA COAST COIL MAINTENANCE Coastal locations often require additional maintenance of the outdoor unit due to highly corrosive airborne ocean salt. Although your new Bryant system is made of galvanized metal and is protected by top-grade paint, take the additional precaution of periodically washing all exposed surfaces and the outdoor coil approximately every 3 months. Consult your installing Bryant dealer for proper cleaning intervals and procedures for your geographic area or ask about a service contract for regularly scheduled professional cleaning and inspections.

TROUBLESHOOTING Before you request dealer service, check for these easily solved problems: Check the indoor and outdoor disconnect switches Also check your

main electrical panel circuit breakers or fuses. Check for sufficient airflow. Air filter(s) should be reasonably clean

and interior vents should be open and unobstructed. Check Evolution Connex Control or thermostat settings. For

cooling, your desired temperature setting should be LOWER than the displayed room temperature, and the System/Mode control should be on Cool or Auto. For heating, your temperature setting should be HIGHER than the displayed room temperature, and the System/Mode control is set to Heat or Auto.

Time delays - depending on the Bryant heat pump you have, there may be delays in unit operation that are built-in to protect the equipment and your comfort. Dont be alarmed if you notice a time delay in operation. It may be a standard protection feature of your equipment. Check with your Bryant Dealer for more information on time delays.

If you need to contact your Bryant dealer for troubleshooting and/or repairs, be sure to have the model and serial numbers of your equipment available REGULAR DEALER MAINTENANCE In addition to the routine maintenance that you perform, your home comfort system should be inspected regularly by a properly trained service technician. Many dealers offer this service at a reduced rate with a service contract. Some service contracts offer additional benefits such as parts discounts and no additional charge for after hours or emergency service.

WARNING! ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death. Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, main electrical disconnect switch must be in the OFF position. There may be more than 1 disconnect switch. Lock out and tag switch with a suitable warning label. NOTE: There may be more than one electrical disconnect switch.

CAUTION! CUT HAZARD Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury. Although special care has been taken to minimize sharp edges in the construction of your unit, be extremely careful and wear appropriate protective clothing and gloves when handling parts or reaching into the unit.
