Owner –
One of the biggest advantages to your new Coleman-Mach air
conditioner is that the maintenance needed to keep the unit in
good care is minimal. In fact above the only thing you, the
owner, must take care of is the cleaning and replacement of
the filters.
Filters can be cleaned and reused. If the filters are not cleaned
at regular intervals, they may become partially clogged with
lint, dirt, grease, etc. A clogged filter will produce a loss of air
volume and may eventually cause an icing-up of the cooling
(evaporator) coil.
IMPORTANT
Do not operate your air conditioner for extended periods of
time without the filter installed.
An even more serious condition occurs when the air
conditioner is operated without a filter. When this happens the
lint, dirt, grease, etc. that are normally stopped by the filter are
now accumulating on the cooling coil. This not only leads to a
loss of air volume and a possible icing-up of the cooling coil,
but could also result in serious damage to the operating
components of the air conditioner.
We recommend that the filters be cleaned or changed at least
every two weeks when the air conditioner is in operation.
Cleaning and/or Changing the Filters –
1.
Disengage the two 1/4-turn fasteners that secure the
ceiling assembly grille to the ceiling assembly (See
Figure 2).
2.
Lower the grille and filters from the ceiling
assembly.
3.
Take the filters out and either clean or exchange with
other filters (See Figure 2).
If replacement filters are necessary, the filters
can be purchased from most Airxcel, Inc.
Authorized Service Centers. It is recommended
that spare filters be carried with the RV at all
times to replace worn, torn or deteriorated filters.
IV. MAINTENANCE
NOTE
4.
Replace the filters and reinstall the ceiling grille in
reverse order.
Service Person –
A.
Electrical – All electrical work and/or inspection
should be performed only by qualified service
personnel. Contact your nearest Airxcel, Inc.
service Center if electrical problems should arise.
B.
Check Points – Failure to start or to cool the air
conditioner are sometimes problems with the air
conditioning units. The Coleman-Mach air
conditioner is designed to operate on 115 volt
electrical power. If the compressor on the air
conditioner fails to start, check with your Airxcel,
Inc. Service Center to determine that the proper
wire size is connected to the unit, the proper
circuit breakers are installed as protection devices
on the electrical circuit and the proper sized
extension cord is being used for the distance covered
from the utility outlet to the RV.
The required minimum wire size is #12 AWG for
lengths up to 25 feet (larger wire size for greater
distances). Each air conditioning unit must be
protected with a 20 amp time delay fuse or circuit
breaker.
