The serial number is on the "rating plate" sticker on your product. For outdoor systems, like air conditioners or heat pumps, you’ll find the plate on the back near the service valve connections. For furnaces, it’s inside the front door panel. To access it, turn the front panel knobs counterclockwise and pull the panel toward you.

Thermostat FAQs
Alert codes are signals from your equipment or thermostat to indicate potential issues. These apply to the Infinity System Control. There are three types of codes:
Conditions: Inform the user about system statuses, like available software updates. These typically don’t require attention.
Faults: Indicate issues that should be addressed by a dealer. Though the system might still operate, unresolved faults can lead to damage.
Malfunctions: Signal serious problems where certain components may shut down to prevent further damage. These require immediate attention from a dealer.
For details on specific codes, contact your dealer directly.
Filter FAQs
The filter size is printed on the filter’s side edge. Locate the filter and check this marking.
MERV ratings measure filter efficiency on a scale of 1–16, with 16 being the highest efficiency. The appropriate rating depends on your environment and furnace. Ask your dealer or installer for guidance.
