BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE, CHECK FOR PROBLEMS THAT CAN BE EASILY SOLVED

If insufficient heating or cooling is suspected:
( ) Check for sufficient airflow. Check the air filter for dirt. Check for blocked return 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 set point is above the indoor temperature during the heating season, or below the indoor temperature during the cooling season. Be sure the thermostat mode is in the proper AUTO, HEAT, or COOL mode and not in the OFF mode.
( ) Check scrolling marquee to be sure unit is not in Service Test mode and that unit has not been disabled. Check set points are properly set.
( ) 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 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 gas section access panels.
( ) During the heating season, check the switch 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 no safety hazards are present, 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.
