alarm code. If the furnace section will not operate and the LED
is flashing a code (1 to 9 flashes in succession), contact your
dealer and request 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 improp-
er performance if allowed to build up.
See Fig. 1 and proceed as follows to inspect the combustion
area and power-venting system of your unit.
1. Turn off electrical power (install disconnect tag) and gas
supply to your unit.
2. Open burner compartment access panel.
3. Using a flashlight, carefully inspect the burner areas for
dirt, soot, or scale.
4. When you have completed your inspection, follow the
start-up procedures in this manual to restore your unit to
operation.
5. Observe unit heating operation, and watch the burner
flame with the access panel removed to see if it is bright
blue. If you observe a suspected malfunction, or that the
burner flames are not bright blue, call your dealer. See
Fig. 7. Some yellow flame may be present due to the pan-
el being removed.
6. Close burner compartment access panel.
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 and
the flue collector box cover and, when completed, reinstalling
the gas controls assembly for proper operation. The flue collec-
tor box cover must be reinstalled correctly so that a proper seal
is maintained. Contact your dealer for the required periodic
maintenance.

Refrigerant Circuits — The refrigerant circuits are dif-
ficult to check for leaks without the proper equipment; there-
fore, if inadequate cooling is suspected, contact your dealer for
service.
Evaporator and CondenserCoils —Cleaning of the
coils should only be done by qualified service personnel. Con-
tact 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.
Compressors — All compressors are factory shipped

No field lubrication is necessary except possibly with repair or
replacement of refrigerant circuit components.
Condenser Fan
