UNIT INTRODUCTION
This 577D unit is a small packaged gas heat/electric cooling system
that can utilize the comfort of gas heating packaged along with effi-
cient electric air conditioning. This unit uses Puron®, the environ-
mentally friendly refrigerant, for cooling.
OPERATING YOUR UNIT
The operation of your unit is controlled by the EvolutiontUser In-
terface (UI). You simply program the UI and itmaintains the indoor
temperature at the level you select. See UI manual for detailed in-
structions.
To better protect your investment and to eliminate unnecessary ser-
vice calls, familiarize yourself with the following facts:
To start the unit:
1. Turn on the electrical power supply to unit.
2. Select temperature and set MODE control to desired mode.
To shut off unit:
Note: If the unit is being shut down because of a malfunction, call
your dealer as soon as possible.
1. Set system MODE control to OFF.
2. Turn off the electrical power supply to unit.
Cooling Mode
With the SYSTEM or MODE control set to COOL, your unit will
run in cooling mode until the indoor temperature is lowered to the
level you have selected. On extremely hot days, your unit will run
for longer periods at a time and have shorter “off” periods than on
moderate days.
Gas Heating Mode
With the SYSTEM or MODE control set to HEAT, your unit will
run in heating mode until the room temperatureis raised to thelevel
you have selected. Of course, your unit will run for longer periods
to maintain a comfortable environment on cooler days and nights
than on moderate ones.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
This section discusses maintenance that should be performed on
your system. Most maintenance should be performed by your deal-
er. You, as the owner, may wish to handle some minor maintenance
for your new unit.
Routine Maintenance
All routine maintenance should be handled by skilled, experienced
personnel. Your dealer can help you establish a standard procedure.
To assure proper functioning of the unit, flow of condenser airmust
not be obstructed from reaching the unit. Clearance from the top of
the unit is 48 in. Clearance of at least 36 in. is required on sides ex-
cept the power entry side (42 in. clearance) and the duct side (12 in.
minimum clearance).
Maintenance and Care for the Equipment Owner
Before proceeding with those things you might want to maintain
yourself, please carefully consider the following:

FIRE, EXPLOSION, ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury,
death or property damage.
1. TURN OFF ELECTRICAL POWER TO YOUR UNIT
BEFORE SERVICING OR PERFORMING
MAINTENANCE.
2. When removing access panels or performing maintenance
functions inside your unit, be aware of sharp sheet metal
parts and screws. Although special care is taken to reduce
sharp edges to a minimum, be extremely careful when
handling parts or reaching into the unit.
!WARNING
Air Filters
The air filter(s) should be checked every 3 or 4 weeks and changed
or cleaned whenever it becomes dirty. Dirty filters produce exces-
sive stress on the blower motor and can cause the motor to overheat
and shut down.
This unit must have air filters in place before it can be operated.
These filters can be located in one of at least two places. In many ap-
plications, the installer will provide return air filter grilles mounted
on the wall or ceiling of the conditioned structure. In the instance of
filter grilles, the filters can simply be removed from the grille and re-
placed.
The other typical application is an accessory filter rack installed in-
side the unit itself. The following information is given to assist in
changing filters used in these internal filter racks.
Table 1 indicates the correct filter size for your unit. Refer to Fig. 2
to access filters installed in the accessory filter rack.
Table 1—Air Filters Located Inside Unit
(For Replacement Purposes)
Unit Size Quantity Filter Size
024---030 212x20x1
036---060 312x24x1
To replace or inspect filters in accessory filter rack (See Fig. 2):
1. Remove the filter access panel using a 5/16--in. nut driver.
2. Remove the filter(s) by pulling it out of the unit. If the filter(s)
is dirty, clean or replace with a new one.
When installing the new filter(s), note the direction of the airflow
arrows on the filter frame.
If you have difficulty locating your air filter(s) or have questions
concerning proper filter maintenance, contact your dealer for in-
structions. When replacing filters, always use the same size and type
of filter that was supplied originally by the installer.
FIRE AND UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury,
death or property damage.
Never operate your unit without filters in place. An
accumulation of dust and lint on internal parts of your unit can
cause loss of efficiency.

death or property damage.
System under pressure. Relieve pressure and recover all
refrigerant before system repair or final unit disposal. Use all
service ports and open all flow--control devices, including
solenoid valves.
!WARNING
Unit Panels
After performing any maintenance or service on the unit, be sure all
panels are fastened securely in place to prevent rain from entering
unit cabinet and to prevent disruption of the correct unit airflow pat-
tern.
Regular Dealer Maintenance
In addition to the type of routine maintenance you might be willing
to perform, your unit should be inspected regularly by a properly
trained service technician. An inspection (preferably each year, but
at least every other year) should include the following:
1. Inspection and, if required, cleaning of the outdoor and
indoor coils.
2. Inspection and, if required, cleaning of the indoor coil drain
pan.
3. Inspection and cleaning of blower wheelhousing and motor.
4. Inspection of all supply--air and return--air ducts for leaks,
obstructions, and insulation integrity. Any problems found
should be resolved at this time.
5. Inspection of the unit base to ensure that no cracks, gaps, etc.,
exist which may cause a hazardous condition.
6. Inspection of the unit casing for signs of deterioration.
7. Inspection of all electrical wiring and components to assure
proper connection.
8. Inspection for leaks in the refrigerant circuit. Pressure check
to determine appropriate refrigerant charge.
9. Inspection of compressor oil level by service person to
ensure proper oil level is maintained in the compressor when
it is installed and running.
10. Operational check of the unit to determine working
conditions.Repairor adjustment should be madeat this time.
Your servicing dealer may offer an economical service contract that
covers seasonal inspections. Ask for further details.
Complete service instructions can be found in the unit Installation,
Start--up and Service Instructions.
Warranty Certificate
Your 577D unit has a limited warranty. Be sure to read the warranty
carefully to determine the coverage for your unit.
Before you call for service...
...check for several easily--solved problems.
If insufficient heating or cooling is suspected:
( ) Check for sufficient airflow. Check the air filter for dirt. Check
for blocked return--air or supply--air grilles. Be sure they are open
and unobstructed. If these checks do not reveal the cause, call your
servicing dealer.
If your unit is not operating at all, check the following list for
easy solutions:
( ) Check to be surethat the temperature specified by your UI isset
below the indoor temperature during the cooling season or above
the indoor temperature during heating season. Be sure the UI is set
to COOL or HEAT and not OFF.
( ) If your unit still fails to operate, call your servicing dealer for
troubleshooting and repairs. Specify the model and serial numbers
of your unit. (Record them in this manual in the space provided.) If
the dealer knows exactly which unit you have, he may be able to
offer suggestions over the phone, or save valuable time through
knowledgeable preparation for the service call.
In Case of Trouble
If you perform the steps above and unit performance is still unsatis-
factory, shut off the unit and call your dealer.
