pan.

obstructions, and insulation integrity. Any problems fnund

5. Inspection of the unit base to ensure that no cracks, gaps, etc.,
exist which may cause a hazardous condition.

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:
( ) Check to be sure that the temperature specified by your UI is set
below the indoor temperature during the cooling season or above
the indoor temperature during heating season. Be sure the UI is set
to COOL or HEAT and not OFF.
( ) 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.
