10. Place the filter removal rod back on the partition for future use.

11. Reinstall inner panel. 12. Reinstall bolt securing the inner panel. 13. Close filter access panel and tighten latches.

If you have difficulty in locating your air filter or if you have questions concerning proper filter maintenance, contact your dealer for instructions. When replacing your unit filters, always use the same size and type of filter that was originally supplied by the installer.

Units with outdoor air capability have a cleanable filter for the outdoor air. This filter should be checked annually and cleaned as necessary with steam or hot water and a mild deter- gent. Do not use throwaway filters in place of cleanable filters.

Heat Exchanger To ensure dependable and efficient heating operation, the heat exchanger should be checked by a qualified maintenance person before each heating season and cleaned when necessary. This checkout should not be attempt- ed by anyone not having the required expertise and equipment to do the job properly. Checking and/or cleaning the heat exchanger involves removing the gas controls assembly, the flue collector box, and the flue collector box cover. When finished, the gas controls assembly must be reinstalled for proper operation. Also, the flue collector box cover must be replaced correctly so that a proper seal is maintained. Refer to unit installation instructions for correct procedure. Contact your dealer for the required periodic maintenance.

Fans and Belts Periodically check the condition of the fan wheels and housings, and belt tension. When service is necessary, call your dealer.

Indoor-Fan Motor, Outdoor-Fan Motor, and Combustion Fan Motor Lubrication is not recom- mended. Bearings will not require lubrication for at least 5 years of normal operation. After 5 years, motor life can be extended by having the motors serviced at an authorized motor service shop.

Fan Shaft Bearings The bearings should be greased with Shell Alvania no. 2 grease or equivalent. The bearings will need to be greased annually, dependent on fan usage. Do not grease more than once a year.

Evaporator and Condenser Coils Cleaning of the coils should be done by qualified service personnel. Contact your dealer for the required annual maintenance.

Condensate Drain The drain pan and condensate drain line should be checked and cleaned at the same time the cooling coils are checked by your dealer.

Compressor All compressors are factory supplied with a normal charge of the correct type of refrigeration-grade oil in them and should not require additional oil.

Condenser Fan

The fan must be kept free of all obstructions to ensure prop- er cooling. Contact your dealer for any required service.

Electrical Controls and Wiring Electrical con- trols are difficult to check without proper instrumentation. If there are any discrepancies in the operating cycle, contact your dealer and request service.

Refrigerant Circuit The refrigerant circuit is difficult to check for leaks without the proper equipment. If inadequate cooling is suspected, contact your local dealer for service.

Combustion Area and Vent System The com- bustion area and vent system should be visually inspected be- fore each heating season. The normal accumulation of dirt, soot, rust, and scale can result in loss of efficiency and im- proper performance if allowed to build up.

See Fig. 1 and 2 and proceed as follows to inspect the com- bustion area and power-venting system of your unit.

1. Turn off gas supply to your unit. 2. Turn off electrical power to your unit. 3. Remove gas section access panels. 4. Using a flashlight, carefully inspect the burner areas for

dirt, soot, rust, or scale.

5. When you have completed your inspection, follow the To Light Unit section in this manual to restore your unit to operation.

6. Observe unit heating operation. Watch the burner flame to see if it is bright blue. If you observe a suspected mal- function or if the flame is not bright blue, call your dealer.

7. Replace gas section access panels.

Unit Panels After performing any maintenance or service on the unit, be sure all panels are securely fastened in place to prevent rain from entering unit cabinet and to prevent disruption of the correct unit airflow pattern.

Never operate your unit without filters in place. Failure to heed this warning may result in damage to the blower motor and/or compressor. An accumulation of dust and lint on internal parts of your unit can cause loss of efficiency and, in some cases, fire.

Do not poke sticks, screwdrivers, or any other object into revolving fan blades. Severe bodily injury may result.

If your unit makes any unusual or especially loud noises during heating, shut down the heating section and call your dealer.

If dirt, soot, rust, or scale accumulations are found, call your dealer and do not operate your heating section.

Components in heat section may be hot after unit has been started. When observing flame, be careful not to get close to or touch heating components. Serious personal injury may result.

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 of all flue product passages including the burners, heat exchanger, and flue collector box.

2. Inspection of all combustion and ventilation-air passages and openings.

3. Close inspection of all gas pipes leading to and inside your unit.

4. Inspection and if required, cleaning of the condenser and evaporator coils.

5. Inspection and if required, cleaning of the condensate drain pan.

6. Inspection and cleaning of blower wheel housing and motor.

7. Inspection of all supply and return-air ducts for leaks, ob- structions, and insulation integrity. Any problems found should be resolved at the time of inspection.

8. Inspection of the unit base for cracks, gaps, etc., which may cause a hazardous condition.

9. Inspection of the unit casing for signs of deterioration. 10. Inspection of all electrical wiring and components to

ensure proper connection. 11. Inspection for leaks in the refrigerant circuit. Pressure-

check to determine appropriate refrigerant charge. 12. Inspection of fan wheels and housings, belt tension, and

fan motor shaft bearings. 13. Operational check of the unit to determine working

conditions. Repair or adjustment should be made at the time of inspection.

Your servicing dealer may offer an economical service con- tract that covers seasonal inspections. Ask for further details.

Complete service instructions can be found in the unit Controls, Start-Up, Operation, Service and Troubleshooting literature.

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 thermo- stat temperature set point is above the indoor temperature dur- ing 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. 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.

IN CASE OF TROUBLE If, after performing the above checks, unit performance is

unsatisfactory, shut off the unit and call your dealer. Dealers Name _____________________________________ Telephone No _____________________________________ Unit Model _______________________________________ Unit Serial Number _________________________________
