In order to ensure peak per­formance, your system must
be properly maintained.
Clogged filters and blocked
airflow prevent your unit from
operating at its most efficient
level.

Ask your Lennox dealer to
show you where your indoor
unit’s filter is located. It will
be either at the indoor unit
(installed internal or external
to the cabinet) or behind a
return air grille in the wall or
ceiling. Check the filter
monthly and clean or replace
it as needed.

Disposable filters should be
replaced with a filter of the
same type and size. If you
are unsure about the filter
you need for your system,
call your independent Len­nox dealer for assistance.

Important!

Turn off electrical power to
the unit at the disconnect
switch before performing
any maintenance. The unit
may have multiple power
supplies.

Many indoor units are
equipped with re-usable
foam filters. These filters can
be cleaned with a mild soap
and water solution. Rinse the
filter thoroughly and let it dry
completely, before it is
returned to the unit or grille.

The filter and all access
panels must be in place any
time the unit is in operation.

Your system may be
equipped with an electronic
air cleaner which will provide
respiratory relief by removing
up to 90 percent of all air­borne particles which pass
through it. If it is, ask your
dealer to instruct you on its
maintenance.

Your indoor evaporator coil
is equipped with a drain pan
to collect condensate formed
as your system removes hu­midity from the inside air.
Have your dealer show you
where the main condensate
drain (and auxiliary drain, if
applicable) runs and how to
check the drain for any ob­struction.

It is also very important to
provide unrestricted airflow
to the outdoor unit. Leaves,
trash or shrubs crowding the
unit cause the outdoor unit to
work harder and use more
energy. Keep shrubbery
trimmed away from the unit
and periodically check for
debris which may have
collected around the unit.

Your Fingertips

THERMOSTATS

Though your thermostat may
vary somewhat from the
description below, its operation
will be similar.

Temperature Setting Levers

Set the indicator lever or dial to
the desired temperature
setpoints for both heating and
cooling.

Fan Switch

In AUTO or INT mode, the
blower operates only when the
thermostat calls for heating or
cooling. This mode is generally
preferred when humidity control
is a priority. The ON or CONT
mode provides continuous
indoor blower operation,
regardless of whether the
compressor or burners are
operating. This mode is
required when constant air
circulation or filtering is desired.

System Switch

Set the system switch for
heating, cooling or auto
operation. The auto mode
allows the system to
automatically switch from
heating mode to cooling mode
to maintain predetermined
comfort settings.

Temperature Indicator

The temperature indicator
displays the actual room
temperature.

Programmable
Thermostats

Your Lennox system may be
controlled by a programmable
thermostat. These thermostats
provide the added feature of
programmable setpoints for
both heating and cooling. Refer
to the user’s information
manual provided with your
particular thermostat for
operation details.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE −− YOUR LENNOX DEALER CAN HELP

Nobody knows more about the care and operation
of your new Lennox equipment than your Lennox
dealer. This means that your Lennox dealer is
your best choice for routine maintenance or
service. Lennox’ Quality Dealer Standards
program ensures that when you call your Lennox
dealer, you can count on prompt, courteous and
professional service.

Before the start of each cooling season, the
following air conditioning service checks should
be performed by a qualified service technician.

As always, electrical power to the unit must be
turned off prior to any unit maintenance.

D The outdoor condenser coil and indoor evapora-

tor coil should be inspected and cleaned. The
outdoor condenser coil may be flushed with a
water hose.

D The refrigerant lines should be visually inspected

and the coils should be checked for leaks.

D Wiring should be checked for loose

connections.

D Voltage must be checked at the indoor and

outdoor units (units operating).

indoor blower motor should be checked.

replaced.

D The condensate drain line should be checked

for free and unobstructed flow and it should be
cleaned, if necessary.
