all good things, the Trane-provided limited
warranty on your new comfort equipment will
come to an end. To keep you protected, Trane
offers you the Extended Warranty Program. It
picks up right where your Trane limited warranty
leaves off. And, it offers you years and years of
reliable protection at a low cost. Ask your dealer
for program details.
The Trane Extended Warranty provides:
1. The opportunity to purchase coverage in five,
or ten year increments.
A central air conditioner is not a household
appliance. It’s a complex self-contained system
hat requires professional maintenance and repair.
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 maintenance
recommended in this manual, you should not
attempt to make any adjustments to your central air
conditioning system. Your dealer will be able to take
care of any questions or problems you may have.
Keep your air conditioner looking
like new for years.
Clean the enamel finish of your air conditioner with
ordinary soap and water. For stubborn grease
spots, use a household detergent. Lacquer thinner
or other synthetic solvents may damage the finish.
IMPORTANT: If you have a cooling coil installed
with your unit, condensate drains should be
checked and cleaned periodically to assure that
condensate can drain freely from coil to drain. If
condensate cannot drain freely water damage
could occur.

Insulation
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 (3½") for exterior walls and
floors over unheated areas. In colder
climates, consider additional insulation.
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

up with caulking, weatherstripping or plastic.
Also weatherstrip and caulk around all
entrance doors and windows.
3. Cut heat transfer through your windows by
40 to 50% with double glazing (two panes of
glass separated by a sealed air space).
4. Use wood or metal-frame storm windows
even if single-glazed windows are high
quality. The extra layer of glass and the layer
of still air will cut heat transfer considerably.
5. Install storm doors at all entrances to your
house.
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.
8. Keep the overhead door of an attached
garage closed. This will block cold winds from
infiltrating the connecting door between the
house and garage.
9. Make sure fireplaces have tight-fitting
dampers which can be closed when the
fireplace is not in use.
10. Invest in a humidifier to conserve energy in
wintertime. The air in your home won’t be as
dry, so you stay comfortable at a lower
temperature setting.
