Watch the burner flame to see if it is bright blue. If you observe a
suspected malfunction or if the burner flames are not bright blue,
call your dealer.

WARNING: System under pressure. Relieve pressure
and recover all refrigerant before system repair or final
unit disposal to avoid serious injury or death. Use all
service ports and open all flow-control devices, including
solenoid valves.
10. Inspection of all electrical wiring and components to assure
proper connection.
11. Inspection for leaks in the refrigerant circuit. Pressure-
check to determine appropriate refrigerant charge.
12. Inspection of compressor oil level by service person to
ensure proper oil level is maintained in the compressor
when it is installed and running.
13. Operational check of the unit to determine working condi-
tions. Repair or adjustment should be made at this time.
Your servicing dealer may offer an economical service contract
that covers seasonal inspections. Ask for further details.
Complete service instructions can be found in the unit Installation,
Start-Up and Service Instructions.
K. Unit Panels
After performing any maintenance or service on the unit, be sure
all panels are fastened securely in place to prevent rain from
entering unit cabinet and to prevent disruption of the correct unit
airflow pattern.
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 exchangers, 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 of
your unit.
4. Inspection and, if required, cleaning of the condenser and
evaporator coils.
5. Inspection and, if required, cleaning of the evaporator drain
pan.
6. Inspection and cleaning of blower wheel housing and
motor.
7. Inspection of all supply-air and return-air ducts for leaks,
obstructions, and insulation integrity. Any problems found
should be resolved at this time.
8. Inspection of the unit base to ensure that no cracks, gaps,
etc., exist which may cause a hazardous condition.
9. Inspection of the unit casing for signs of deterioration.
WARRANTIES
The 583B warranty is located at the back of this book. Be sure to
read the warranty carefully to determine the coverage for your unit.
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE,
CHECK FOR SEVERAL EASILY-SOLVED PROBLEMS
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 your thermostat temperature selector 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 propose 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.
