BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE,

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE,

CHECK FOR SEVERAL EASILY-SOLVED

PROBLEMS

If insufficient heating or cooling is suspected:

( ) Check for sufficient air¯ow. Check the air ®lter for dirt. Check for blocked return-air or supply-air grilles. Be sure they are open and unobstructed. If these checks do not re- veal the cause, call your servicing dealer.

If your unit is not operating at all, check the following list for easy solutions:

( ) Check to be sure that your thermostat temperature se- lector is set above the indoor temperature during the heating season, or below the indoor temperature during the cooling season. Be sure the system switch is in the proper HEAT or COOL position and not in the OFF position.

(

) Is the electrical supply switch ON? Are any fuses blown,

or has the circuit breaker tripped?

(

) During the heating season, check the external manual

shutoff valve. Is this lever parallel with the pipe, indicating that the valve is open? Or is the lever at a 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 gas supply, then the electrical power supply to the unit. Remove the control access door.

( ) During the heating season, check the control dial on the internal gas valve. Is it in the ON position? If it is not, be sure it was not turned off for the purpose of safety. If no safety hazards exist, 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.

IN CASE OF TROUBLE

If after performing the above and unit performance is still unsatisfactory, shut off the unit and call your dealer.
