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:
( ) If using a thermostat, check to be sure that your thermostat
temperature selector is set above the indoor temperature during the
heating season, or below the indoor temperature during the cooling
season. Be sure the SYSTEM switch in the proper HEAT or COOL
position and not in the OFF position.
( ) If ComfortLink T,_controls are used, check Scrolling Marquee
to be sure unit is not in SERVICE TEST mode. Check that set
points are properly configured.
( ) Is the electrical supply switch on? Are any fuses blown, or has
the circuit breaker tripped?
( ) During the heating season, check the manual gas shutoffvalve.
Is this lever parallel with the pipe, indicating that the valve is open?
Or is the lever at the right angle, indicating that the valve is closed?
If closed, has the gas been shut off for safety reasons? Otherwise,
you may open the valve and follow the start-up procedures listed
in this manual.
NOTE: Before proceeding with the next check, turn off the
electrical power supply to the unit. Remove the control access
door.
( ) During the heating season, check the control dial on the gas
valve. Is it in the ON position? If it is not, be sure it has not been
turned off for the purpose of safety. If nothing else is incorrect,
follow the start-up procedures in this manual.
( ) 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.
