Carrier 51CV/GY - Manual (Page 3)

A FEW WORDS ABOUT YOUR NEW
CARRIER UNIT...
Thank you for choosing Carrier! You can feel confi-
Jent in your selection because the same pride in
craftsmanship and engineering knowledge that goes
into Carrier equipment at the Astrodome in Texas, the
famous Sistine Chapel in Rome, the United States
Capitol’s Halls of Congress and thousands of other
installations worldwide has gone into the construction
of your unit.
One of the principal advantages of owning a Carrier
room air conditioner with electric heat is that the unit
heats AND cools, so it can be used year-round! While
cooling, your new Carrier unit also filters and dehumi-
difies. In cold weather, the unit gently heats and
circulates air through the room. Carrier’s room air
conditioner with electric heat quietly gives you max­
imum year round comfort!
This manual will supply you with all the information
you need for installing, operating and maintaining your
new unit. Take a few moments to read and discover
how to get the most in comfort and economic operation
from your new Carrier room unit!
