This product is designed and manufactured to comply with na-
tional codes. Installation in accordance with such codes and/or
prevailing local codes/regulations is the responsibility of the in-
staller. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for equip-
ment installed in violation of any codes or regulations. Rated
performance is achieved after 72 hours of operation. Rated per-
formance is delivered at the specified airflow. See outdoor unit
specification sheet for split system models or product specifica-
tion sheet for packaged and light commercial models. Specifica-
tion sheets can be found at www.amana-hac.com for Amana®
brand products. Within the website, please select the residen-
tial or commercial products menu and then select the submenu
for the type of product to be installed, such as air conditioners
or heat pumps, to access a list of product pages that each con-
tain links to that model’s specification sheet.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has
issued various regulations regarding the introduction and dis-
posal of refrigerants. Failure to follow these regulations may
harm the environment and can lead to the imposition of sub-
stantial fines. Should you have any questions please contact the
local office of the EPA.
If replacing a condensing unit, heat pump or air handler, the sys-
tem must be manufacturer approved and Air Conditioning, Heat-
ing and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) matched.

NOTICE
Outdoor inverter units are approved for operation above 0°F in
cooling mode and -20°F (RH10%) in heating mode with no addi-
tional kit necessary.
Damage resulting from operation of the units in a structure that
is not complete (either as port of new construction or renova-
tion) is not covered by our warranties.
F
EATURES
This heat pump is part of a system that uses inverter technology to
more efficiently remove or add heat with better efficiency and
achieve the target comfort conditions. System may ONLY be in-
stalled using a ComfortNet™ thermostat with model number
CTK04 as part of the digital communicating system. The
ComfortNet system reduces the number of required thermostat
wires, provides additional setup features and enhanced active
diagnostics. Due to components using inverter technology, the
heat pump will not function properly if used with a CTK03, 02 or
01 ComfortNet thermostat.

LEARANCES
Special consideration must be given to location of the heat pump
unit(s) in regard to structures, obstructions, other units, and any/
all other factors that may interfere with air circulation. Where
possible, the top of the unit should be completely unobstructed;
however, if vertical conditions require placement beneath an ob-
struction there should be a minimum of 60 inches between the
top of the unit and the obstruction(s). The specified dimensions
meet requirements for air circulation only. Consult all appropri-
ate regulatory codes prior to determining final clearances.
Another important consideration in selecting a location for the
unit(s) is the angle to obstructions. Either side adjacent the valves
can be placed toward the structure provided the side away from
the structure maintains minimum service clearance. Corner in-
stallations are strongly discouraged.

Minimum Airflow Clearance
This unit can be located at ground floor level or on flat roofs. At
ground floor level, the unit must be on a solid, level foundation

that will not shift or settle. To reduce the possibility of sound
transmission, the foundation slab should not be in contact with
or be an integral part of the building foundation. Care should be
taken to ensure the unit is installed away from noise sensitive
locations such as bedrooms, windows and outdoor living areas.
Ensure the foundation is sufficient to support the unit. A con-
crete slab raised above ground level provides a suitable base.

NSTALLATIONS
If it is necessary to install this unit on a roof structure, ensure
the roof structure can support the weight and that proper con-
sideration is given to the weather-tight integrity of the roof. Since
the unit can vibrate during operation, sound vibration transmis-
sion should be considered when installing the unit. Vibration ab-
sorbing pads or springs can be installed between the heat pump
unit legs or frame and the roof mounting assembly to reduce
noise vibration.
ELECTRICAL N OISE
The unit should be well grounded so that potential effects of
electrical noise from the inverter to surrounding equipment can
be minimized.
When selecting an installation location, keep sufficient distance
from the heat pump unit and wiring to radios, personal comput-
ers, stereos, etc., as shown in the following figure.

CAUTION
Use only refrigerant grade (dehydrated and sealed) copper tubing
to connect the heat pump unit with the indoor unit. After cutting
the tubing, install plugs to keep refrigerant tubing clean and dry
prior to and during installation. Tubing should always be cut
square keeping ends round and free from burrs. Clean the tubing
to prevent contamination. The liquid line must be insulated if
more than 50 ft. of liquid line will pass through an area that may
reach temperatures of 30 °F or higher than ambient in cooling

mode and/or if the temperature inside the conditioned space may
reach a temperature lower than ambient in heating mode. Never
attach a liquid line to any uninsulated potion of the gas line.
Do NOT let refrigerant lines come in direct contact with plumbing,
ductwork, floor joists, wall studs, floors, and walls. When run-
ning refrigerant lines through a foundation or wall, openings
should allow for sound and vibration absorbing material to be
placed or installed between tubing and foundation. Any gap be-
tween foundation or wall and refrigerant lines should be filled
with a pliable silicon-based caulk, RTV or a vibration damping
material. Avoid suspending refrigerant tubing from joists and
studs with rigid wire or straps that would come in contact with
the tubing. Use an insulated or suspension type hanger. Keep
both lines separate and always insulate the gas line.
Insulation is necessary to prevent condensation from forming
and dropping from the gas line. Armflex or satisfactory equiva-
lent with 3/8” min. wall thickness is recommended. In severe
conditions (hot, high humidity areas) 1/2” insulation may be re-
quired. Insulation must be installed in a manner which protects
tubing and connections from damage and contamination.
Where possible, drain as much residual compressor oil from ex-
isting systems, lines, and traps; pay close attention to low areas
where oil may collect. NOTE: If changing refrigerant, the indoor
coil and metering device must be replaced. Only AV**PVC air
handlers or TXV** expansion valves are compatible and have been
manufacturer approved for use with these models. See unit speci-
fications or AHRI for an approved system match.

IMPORTANT
To avoid overheating the service valve, TXV or filter drier
while brazing, wrap the component with a wet rag, or use a
thermal heat trap compound. Be sure to follow the
manufacturers instruction when using the heat trap
compound. Note: Remove Schrader valves from service
valves before brazing tubes to the valves. Use a brazing alloy
of 2% minimum silver content. Do not use flux.
Torch heat required to braze tubes of various sizes is
proportional to the size of the tube. Tubes of smaller size
require less heat to bring the tube to brazing temperature
before adding brazing alloy. Applying too much heat to any
tube can melt the tube. Service personnel must use the
appropriate heat level for the size of the tube being brazed.
NOTE: The use of a heat shield when brazing is recommended
to avoid burning the serial plate or the finish on the unit.
1. The ends of the refrigerant lines must be cut square,
deburred, cleaned, and be round and free from nicks or
dents. Any other condition increases the chance of a
refrigerant leak.
2. “Sweep” the refrigerant line with nitrogen or inert gas
during brazing to prevent the formation of copper-oxide
inside the refrigerant lines. The FVC oils used in R-410A
applications will clean any copper-oxide present from the
inside of the refrigerant lines and spread it throughout
the system. This may cause a blockage or failure of the
metering device.
3. After brazing, quench the joints with water or a wet cloth
to prevent overheating of the service valve.
4. A bi-flow filter drier is shipped with the unit as a separate
component and must be brazed on by the installer on-
site. Ensure the bi-flow filter drier paint finish is intact after
brazing. If the paint of the steel filter drier has been
burned or chipped, repaint or treat with a rust
preventative.
The recommended location of the filter drier is before the
expansion device at the indoor unit.
NOTE: Be careful not to kink or dent refrigerant lines. Kinked or
dented lines will cause poor performance or compressor damage.
Do NOT make final refrigerant line connection until plugs are
removed from refrigerant tubing.

To locate leaks, pressure test the system using dry nitrogen or
leak detector fluid per the manufacturers recommendation. If
you wish to use a leak detector, charge the system to 10 psi us-
ing the appropriate refrigerant then use nitrogen to finish charg-
ing the system to working pressure then apply the detector to
suspect areas. If leaks are found, repair them. After repair, re-
peat the pressure test. If no leaks exist, proceed to System Start-
up Procedure.

CAUTION
1. Connect the vacuum pump with 250 micron capability to
the service valves.
2. Evacuate the system to 250 microns or less using gas and
liquid service valves. Using both valves is necessary as
some compressors create a mechanical seal separating the
sides of the system.
3. Close pump valve and hold vacuum for 10 minutes.
Typically pressure will rise during this period.
If the pressure rises to 1000 microns or less and remains
steady the system is considered leak-free; proceed to
start-up.
If pressure rises above 1000 microns but holds steady
below 2000 microns, moisture and/or noncondensibles
may be present or the system may have a small leak.
Return to step 2: If the same result is encountered check
for leaks as previously indicated and repair as necessary
then repeat evacuation.
If pressure rises above 2000 microns, a leak is present.
Check for leaks as previously indicated and repair as
necessary then repeat evacuation.

CAUTION
The heat pump unit rating plate lists pertinent electrical data
necessary for proper electrical service and overcurrent protec-
tion. Wires should be sized to limit voltage drop to 2% (max.)
from the main breaker or fuse panel to the condensing unit.
Consult the NEC, CEC, and all local codes to determine the cor-
rect wire gauge and length.
Local codes often require a disconnect switch located near the
unit; do not install the switch on the unit. Refer to the installa-
tion instructions supplied with the indoor furnace/air handler
for specific wiring connections and indoor unit configuration.
OVERCURRENT P ROTECTION
The inverter control system software provides sufficient time
delay to protect from overcurrent conditions and permit the com-
pressor and fan motors to adjust their rotational speed.
HIGH VOLTAGE CONNECTIONS
Route power supply and ground wires through the high voltage
port and terminate in accordance with the wiring diagram pro-
vided inside the control panel cover.
LOW VOLTAGE CONNECTIONS
The unit is designed to work as part of a fully communicating
HVAC system, utilizing a ComfortNet™ CTK04 thermostat,
ComfortNet compatible indoor unit, and up to four wires. Route
control wires through the low voltage port and terminate in ac-
cordance with the wiring diagram provided inside the control
panel cover.
7
Voltage Ports
NOTE: The communicating thermostat is able to search and iden-
tify the indoor and outdoor units when power is applied to the
system. Refer to the communicating thermostat’s installation
instruction manual for more information.
Connect low voltage communication wires (1, 2) to low voltage
pigtail provided.
THERMOSTAT WIRING
NOTE: A removable plug connector is provided with the control
to make thermostat wire connections. This plug may be removed,
wire connections made to the plug, and replaced. It is STRONGLY
recommended that you do not connect multiple wires into a
single terminal without mechanically twisting the tips together
with a set of pliers. Failure to do so may result in intermittent
operation.
Typical 18 AWG thermostat wire may be used to wire the sys-
tem components. However, communications reliability may be
improved by using a high quality, shielded, twisted pair cable for
the data transmission lines. In either case, 250 feet is the maxi-
mum length of wire between indoor unit and outdoor unit, or
between indoor unit and thermostat.
TWO-WIRE OUTDOOR, FOUR-WIRE INDOOR WIRING

CAUTION
When opening valves with retainers, open each valve only until
the top of the stem is 1/8” from the retainer. To avoid loss of
refrigerant, DO NOT apply pressure to the retainer. When open-
ing valves without a retainer, remove service valve cap and in-
sert a hex wrench into the valve stem and back out the stem by
turning the hex wrench counterclockwise. Open the valve until it
contacts the rolled lip of the valve body.
NOTE: Units may utilize ball valves or front seating valves. These
are not back-seating valves. It is not necessary to force the stem
tightly against the rolled lip.
After the refrigerant charge has bled into the system, open the
liquid service valve. The service valve cap is the secondary seal
for the valves and must be properly tightened to prevent leaks.
Make sure cap is clean and apply refrigerant oil to threads and
sealing surface on inside of cap. Tighten cap finger-tight and then
tighten additional 1/6 of a turn to properly seat the sealing sur-
faces.
Do not introduce liquid refrigerant from the cylinder into the
crankcase of the compressor as this may damage the compres-
sor.
Break vacuum by fully opening liquid and gas base valve.

DEHUMIDIFICATION
The thermostat reads the indoor humidity level from the CTK04
and allows the user to set a dehumidification target based on
these settings. The thermostat controls the humidity level of
the conditioned space using the cooling system. Dehumidifi-
cation is engaged whenever a cooling demand is present and
structural humidity levels are above the target level. When this
condition exists, the circulating fan output is reduced, increas-
ing system run time, over cooling the evaporator coil and ulti-
mately removing more humidity from the structure than if only
in cooling mode. The CTK04 also allows for an additional
overcooling limit setting from 0°F to 3°F setup through the
Installer Option menu (directions following). This allows the
cooling system to further reduce humidity by lowering the tem-
perature up to 3°F below the cooling setpoint in an attempt to
better achieve desired humidity levels.
By default, dehumidification needs to be turned ON at the ther-
mostat via the Dehumidification Equipment menu. Dehumidi-
fication can be activated at the original equipment setup by
selecting the A/C with Low Speed Fan button in the Dehumidi-
fication Menu. Availability can be verified by pressing MENU
on the home screen. Scroll down and if a Dehumidification
button is present, dehumidification is activated.
If Dehumidification is not available in the menu then it must
be enabled through the Installer Options menu. Use the fol-
lowing procedure to enable and disable dehumidification:
1. On the CTK04 HOME screen select MENU.
2. From the MENU screen, scroll down and select Installer
Options.
3. Enter installer password if known.
a. The password is the thermostat date code and can
be obtained by selecting the red Cancel button and
selecting the Dealer Information button.
b. Once recorded, click the green OK button and re-
turn to the previous step.
4. Select YES to continue.
5. Select View / Edit Current Setup.
6. Scroll down and select Dehumidification.
7. Once open select Dehumidification Equipment: None.
8. From the Dehumidification Menu select A/C with Low Speed
Fan and click the green Done button.
9. Additional Dehumidification operational options can be
selected in the resulting window.
10. Once satisfied with the selection, navigate to the HOME
screen by selecting the Done button and selecting Yes to
verify the changes.
11. Select Previous Menu, then the HOME to return to the
main menu.
DEHUMIDIFICATION TIPS
For effective dehumidification operation:
Ensure “Dehum” is ON through the Installer Options
menu and/or in the ComfortNet User Menu (COOL
SETUP).
-If ON, the Dehumidification menu should be visible in
the main menu.
Verify the cooling airflow profile is set to “Profile D”.
-See the Cool Set-up section of the Installation Manual
for complete airflow profile details.
-By default, “Dehum” is ON and the cooling airflow pro-
file is set to “Profile D”.
For additional dehumidification control, airflow settings
are field adjustable and can be fine-tuned to a value that
is comfortable for the application from a range of +15%
to -15%.
-See the Heat Pump Advanced Feature Menu section
of the Installation Manual for more detail.

COMFORTNET™ SYSTEM
OVERVIEW
A ComfortNet inverter heating and air conditioning system uses
an indoor unit, outdoor unit and thermostat which digitally com-
municate with one another via a two-way communications path.
The thermostat sends commands to the indoor and outdoor
units. The thermostat may request and receive information from
both the indoor and outdoor units. This information may be dis-
played on the CTK04 thermostat. The indoor and outdoor units
also interact with one another. The outdoor unit may send com-
mands to or request information from the indoor unit. This two-
way digital communications between the thermostat and sub-
systems (indoor/outdoor unit) and between subsystems is the
key to unlocking the benefits and features of the ComfortNet
system.
Two-way digital communications is accomplished using only two
wires. The thermostat needs 24 VAC for power. 4 wires between
the indoor unit and thermostat plus two wires between the in-
door unit and outdoor unit are all that are required to operate
the system.
COMFORTNET SYSTEM ADVANCED FEATURES
The ComfortNet™ system permits access to additional system
information, advanced set-up features, and advanced diagnos-
tic/troubleshooting features. These advanced features are orga-
nized into a menu structure. See the HEAT PUMP ADVANCED
FEATURES MENU section for the menu layout.
DIRECTIONS TO HEAT PUMP ADVANCED FEATURE MENUS
Press MENU, scroll down and press COMFORTNET USER MENU.
Enter the date code (password) when prompted. The date code is
printed on the back of the thermostat; or press MENU > EQUIP-
MENT STATUS and scroll down to find the date code. After you
enter the password, select COMFORTNET USER MENU, answer YES
to the following menu and select HEAT PUMP to view the system
menus.
DIAGNOSTICS
The heat pump’s diagnostics menu provides access to the most
recent faults. The six most recent faults are displayed on the first
screen. Six additional faults are displayed under fault history.
Faults are stored in order from most recent to least recent. Any
consecutively repeated fault is stored a maximum of three times.
Example: A leak in the system, low refrigerant charge or an incom-
pletely open stop valve can cause the unit to flash error code E15.
This error code suggests that the unit is experiencing operation at
low pressure. The control will only store this fault the first three
consecutive times the fault occurs.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that the fault list be cleared after
performing maintenance or servicing the system.
