Caps and Fasteners Torque Requirements
Operating Gauge Set and Service Valves
IMPORTANT
Only use Allen wrenches of sufficient hardness (50Rc −
Rockwell Harness Scale minimum). Fully insert the
wrench into the valve stem recess.
Service valve stems are factory−torqued (from 9 ft−lbs for
small valves, to 25 ft−lbs for large valves) to prevent
refrigerant loss during shipping and handling. Using an
Allen wrench rated at less than 50Rc risks rounding or
breaking off the wrench, or stripping the valve stem
recess.
See the Lennox Service and Application Notes
Corp.0807−L5 (C−08−1) for further details and
information.
When servicing or repairing HVAC equipment and
components, ensure the fasteners are appropriately
tightened. Table 1 list torque values for various caps and
fasteners.
Table 1. Torque Requirements
Parts Recommended Torque
Service valve cap 8 ft.− lb. 11 NM
Sheet metal screws 16 in.− lb. 2 NM
Machine screws #10 28 in.− lb. 3 NM
Compressor bolts 90 in.− lb. 10 NM
Gauge port seal cap 8 ft.− lb. 11 NM
IMPORTANT
To prevent stripping of the various caps used, the
appropriately sized wrench should be used and fitted
snugly over the cap before tightening.
OPERATING SERVICE VALVES
The liquid and vapor line service valves are used for
refrigerant recovery, flushing, leak testing, evacuating,
weighing in refrigerant and optimizing system charge.
Each valve is equipped with a service port which has a
factory−installed valve core. Figure 2 provides information
on how to access and operate both angle− and ball−type
service valves.
USING MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
When checking the system charge, only use a manifold
gauge set that features low−loss anti−blow back fittings.
Manifold gauge set used for HFC−410A refrigerant
systems must be capable of handling the higher system
operating pressures. The manifold gauges should be rated
for:
High side Pressure range of 0 − 800 pound−force per
square inch gauge (psig)
Low side Use with 30" vacuum to 250 psig with
dampened speed to 500 psig
Manifold gauge set hoses must be rated for use to 800
psig of pressure with a 4000 psig burst rating.

Remove existing HCFC−22 refrigerant using one of the following procedures:
METHOD 1:
Use Method 1 if the existing outdoor unit is not equipped with shut−off valves, or
if the unit is not operational and you plan to use the existing HCFC−22 to flush
the system.
Recover all HCFC−22 refrigerant from the existing system using a recovery
machine and clean recovery cylinder. Check gauges after shutdown to confirm
that the entire system is completely void of refrigerant.
METHOD 2:
Use Method 2 if the existing outdoor unit is equipped with manual shut−off valves,
and you plan to use new HCFC−22 refrigerant to flush the system.
Perform the following task:
A Start the existing HCFC−22 system in the cooling mode and close the liquid line
valve.
B Use the compressor to pump as much of the existing HCFC−22 refrigerant into
the outdoor unit until the outdoor system is full. Turn the outdoor unit main power
OFF and use a recovery machine to remove the remaining refrigerant from the
system.
NOTE It may be necessary to bypass the low pressure switches (if equipped) to
ensure complete refrigerant evacuation.
C When the low side system pressures reach 0 psig, close the vapor line valve.
D Check gauges after shutdown to confirm that the valves are not allowing
refrigerant to flow back into the low side of the system.
CONNECT MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
Connect a manifold gauge set, clean recovery cylinder and a
2
recovery machine to the service ports of the existing unit..
NOTE Use the recovery machine instructions to make
the correct manifold gauge set connections for recovery
refrigerant. The illustration below is a typical connection.

METHOD 2 LIMITATIONS
NOTE When using Method 2, the listed devices
below could prevent full system charge recovery into
the outdoor unit:
Outdoor unit’s high or low−pressure switches (if
applicable) when tripped can cycle the
compressor OFF.
Compressor can stop pumping due to tripped
internal pressure relief valve.
Compressor has internal vacuum protection that
is designed to unload the scrolls (compressor
stops pumping) when the pressure ratio meets a
certain value or when the suction pressure is as
high as 20 psig. (Compressor suction
pressures should never be allowed to go into
a vacuum. Prolonged operation at low suction
pressures will result in overheating of the
scrolls and permanent damage to the scroll
tips, drive bearings and internal seals.)
Once the compressor can not pump down to a lower
pressure due to any of the above mentioned system
conditions, shut off the vapor valve. Turn OFF the main
power to unit and use a recovery machine to recover
any refrigerant left in the indoor coil and line set.

Figure 3. Refrigerant Recovery
IMPORTANT
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prohibits the intentional venting of HFC refrigerants during maintenance,
service, repair and disposal of appliance. Approved methods of recovery, recycling or reclaiming must be followed.
WARNING
Refrigerant can be harmful if it is inhaled. Refrigerant must be used and recovered responsibly.
Failure to follow this warning may result in personal injury or death.

New Outdoor Unit Placement
CAUTION
In order to avoid injury, take proper precaution when lifting heavy objects.
Remove existing outdoor unit prior to placement of new
outdoor unit. See Unit Dimensions on page 2 for sizing
mounting slab, platforms or supports. Refer to figure 4 for
mandatory installation clearance requirements.
POSITIONING CONSIDERATIONS
Consider the following when positioning the unit:
Some localities are adopting sound ordinances based
on the unit’s sound level registered from the adjacent
property, not from the installation property. Install the
unit as far as possible from the property line.
When possible, do not install the unit directly outside
a window. Glass has a very high level of sound
transmission. For proper placement of unit in relation
to a window see the provided illustration in figure 5,
detail A.
PLACING UNIT ON SLAB
When installing unit at grade level, the top of the slab
should be high enough above grade so that water from
higher ground will not collect around the unit. The slab
should have a slope tolerance as described in figure 5,
detail B.
NOTE If necessary for stability, anchor unit to slab as
described in figure 5, detail D.
ELEVATING THE UNIT
Units are outfitted with elongated support feet as illustrated
in figure 5, detail C.
If additional elevation is necessary, raise the unit by
extending the height of the unit support feet. This may be
achieved by using a 2 inch (50.8mm) schedule 40 female
threaded adapter.
NOTE Keep the height of extenders short enough to
ensure a sturdy installation. If it is necessary to extend
further, consider a different type of field−fabricated
framework that is sturdy enough for greater heights.
ROOF MOUNTING
Install the unit a minimum of 6 inches (152 mm) above the
roof surface to avoid ice build−up around the unit. Locate
the unit above a load bearing wall or area of the roof that
can adequately support the unit. Consult local codes for
rooftop applications. See figure 5, detail F for other roof top
mounting considerations.
CLEARANCE ON ALL SIDES INCHES (MILLIMETERS)
NOTES:
Service clearance of 30 inches (762 mm) must be
maintained on one of the sides adjacent to the
control panel
Clearance to one of the other three sides must be 36
inches (914mm).
Clearance to one of the remaining two sides may be
12 inches (305mm) and the final side may be 6

WARNING
To prevent personal injury, or damage to panels, unit or structure, be sure to observe the following:
While installing or servicing this unit, carefully stow all removed panels out of the way, so that the panels will not cause
injury to personnel, nor cause damage to objects or structures nearby, nor will the panels be subjected to damage (e.g.,
being bent or scratched).
While handling or stowing the panels, consider any weather conditions, especially windy conditions, that may cause
panels to be blown around and battered.

Line Set Requirements
This section provides information on: installation of new or
replacement line set.
Adding Polyol ester oil requirements
New or replacement line set installation
Using existing line set.
ADDING POLYOL ESTER OIL REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT
Mineral oils are not compatible with HFC−410A. If oil
must be added, it must be a Polyol Ester oil.
The compressor is charged with sufficient Polyol Ester oil
(POE) for line set lengths up to 50 feet. Recommend
adding oil to system based on the amount of refrigerant
charge in the system. Systems with 20 pounds or less of
refrigerant required no oil to be added.
For systems over 20 pounds − add one ounce for every five
(5) pounds of HFC−410A refrigerant.
Recommended topping−off POE oils are Mobil EAL
ARCTIC 22 CC or ICI EMKARATE RL32CF.
NEW OR REPLACEMENT LINE SET INSTALLATION
Field refrigerant piping consists of both liquid and vapor
lines from the outdoor unit to the indoor coil. Use Lennox
L15 (sweat, non−flare) series line set, or field−fabricated
refrigerant line sizes as specified in table 2.
If refrigerant lines are routed through a wall, then seal and
isolate the opening so vibration is not transmitted to the
building. Pay close attention to line set isolation during
installation of any HVAC system. When properly isolated
from building structures (walls, ceilings. floors), the
refrigerant lines will not create unnecessary vibration and
subsequent sounds. See figure 7 for recommended
installation practices.
NOTE When installing refrigerant lines longer than 50
feet, see the Lennox Refrigerant Piping Design and
Fabrication Guidelines, CORP. 9351−L9, or contact
Lennox Technical Support Product Applications for
assistance. To obtain the correct information from Lennox,
be sure to communicate the following information:
Table 2. Refrigerant Line Set Inches (mm)
Model (XP13) and size of unit (e.g. −036).
Line set diameters for the unit being installed as listed
in table 2 and total length of installation.
Number of elbows vertical rise or drop in the piping.
USING EXISTING LINE SET
Things to consider:
Liquid line that meter the refrigerant, such as RFC1
liquid line, must not be used in this application.
Existing line set of proper size as listed in table 2 may
be reused.
If system was previously charged with HCFC−22
refrigerant, then existing line set must be flushed (see
Flushing Line Set and Indoor Coil on page 15).
If existing line set is being used, then proceed to Brazing
Connections on page 11.
IMPORTANT
Lennox highly recommends changing line set when
converting the existing system from HCFC−22 to
HFC−410A. If that is not possible and the line set is the
proper size as reference in table 2, use the procedure
outlined under Flushing Line Set and Indoor Coil on page
13.
IMPORTANT
If this unit is being matched with an approved line set
or indoor unit coil which was previously charged with
mineral oil, or if it is being matched with a coil which
was manufactured before January of 1999, the coil
and line set must be flushed prior to installation. Take
care to empty all existing traps. Polyol ester (POE) oils
are used in Lennox units charged with HFC−410A
refrigerant. Residual mineral oil can act as an
insulator, preventing proper heat transfer. It can also
clog the expansion device, and reduce the system
performance and capacity.
Failure to properly flush the system per the
instructions below will void the warranty.

Brazing Connections
Use the procedures outline in figures 8 and 9 for brazing line set connections to service valves.
WARNING
Polyol Ester (POE) oils used with HFC−410A
refrigerant absorb moisture very quickly. It is very
important that the refrigerant system be kept closed
as much as possible. DO NOT remove line set caps
or service valve stub caps until you are ready to make
connections.
WARNING
Danger of fire. Bleeding the refrigerant
charge from only the high side may result
in pressurization of the low side shell and
suction tubing. Application of a brazing
torch to a pressurized system may result
in ignition of the refrigerant and oil
mixture − Check the high and low
pressures before applying heat.
CAUTION
Brazing alloys and flux contain materials which are
hazardous to your health.
Avoid breathing vapors or fumes from brazing
operations. Perform operations only in well−ventilated
areas.
Wear gloves and protective goggles or face shield to
protect against burns.
Wash hands with soap and water after handling brazing
alloys and flux.
IMPORTANT
Allow braze joint to cool before removing the wet rag
from the service valve. Temperatures above 250ºF can
damage valve seals.
IMPORTANT
Use silver alloy brazing rods with 5% minimum silver
alloy for copper−to−copper brazing. Use 45% minimum
alloy for copper−to−brass and copper−to−steel brazing.
WARNING
Fire, Explosion and Personal Safety
Hazard.
Failure to follow this warning could
result in damage, personal injury or
death.
Never use oxygen to pressurize or
purge refrigeration lines. Oxygen,
when exposed to a spark or open
flame, can cause fire and/or an explosion, that could result in property
damage, personal injury or death.
WARNING
When using a high pressure gas such as
dry nitrogen to pressurize a refrigeration
or air conditioning system, use a
regulator that can control the pressure
down to 1 or 2 psig (6.9 to 13.8 kPa).

TEST FOR LEAKS
After the line set has been connected to the indoor and
outdoor units, check the line set connections and indoor
unit for leaks. Use the following procedure to test for leaks:
1. With both manifold valves closed, connect the cylinder
of HFC−410A refrigerant to the center port of the
manifold gauge set. Open the valve on the HFC−410A
cylinder (vapor only).
2. Open the high pressure side of the manifold to allow
HFC−410A into the line set and indoor unit. Weigh in
a trace amount of HFC−410A. [A trace amount is a
maximum of two ounces (57 g) refrigerant or three
pounds (31 kPa) pressure]. Close the valve on the

Evacuating Line Set and Indoor Coil
Evacuating the system of non−condensables is critical for proper operation of the unit. Non−condensables are defined as any
gas that will not condense under temperatures and pressures present during operation of an air conditioning system.
Non−condensables and water suction combine with refrigerant to produce substances that corrode copper piping and
compressor parts.

EVACUATE THE SYSTEM
A Open both manifold valves and start the vacuum pump.

B Evacuate the line set and indoor unit to an absolute pressure of 23,000 microns (29.01 inches of mercury).
NOTE During the early stages of evacuation, it is desirable to close the manifold gauge valve at least once. A rapid rise in pressure
indicates a relatively large leak. If this occurs, repeat the leak testing procedure.
NOTE The term absolute pressure means the total actual pressure within a given volume or system, above the absolute zero of
pressure. Absolute pressure in a vacuum is equal to atmospheric pressure minus vacuum pressure.
C When the absolute pressure reaches 23,000 microns (29.01 inches of mercury), perform the following:
Close manifold gauge valves
Close valve on vacuum pump and turn off vacuum pump
Disconnect manifold gauge center port hose from vacuum pump
Attach manifold center port hose to a dry nitrogen cylinder with pressure regulator set to 150 psig (1034 kPa) and purge the hose.
Open manifold gauge valves to break the vacuum in the line set and indoor unit.
Close manifold gauge valves.
D Shut off the dry nitrogen cylinder and remove the manifold gauge hose from the cylinder. Open the manifold gauge valves to release the
dry nitrogen from the line set and indoor unit.
E Reconnect the manifold gauge to the vacuum pump, turn the pump on, and continue to evacuate the line set and indoor unit until the
absolute pressure does not rise above 500 microns (29.9 inches of mercury) within a 20−minute period after shutting off the vacuum pump
and closing the manifold gauge valves.
F When the absolute pressure requirement above has been met, disconnect the manifold hose from the vacuum pump and connect it to an
upright cylinder of HFC−410A refrigerant. Open the manifold gauge valve 1 to 2 psig in order to release the vacuum in the line set and
indoor unit.
G Perform the following:
Close manifold gauge valves.
Shut off HFC−410A cylinder.
Reinstall service valve cores by removing manifold hose from service valve. Quickly install cores with core
tool while maintaining a positive system pressure.
Replace stem caps and secure finger tight, then tighten an additional one−sixth (1/6) of a turn as illustrated.

demand. Turn on power to the indoor unit and close
the outdoor unit disconnect switch to start the unit.
3. Allow unit to run for five minutes to allow pressures to
stabilize.
4. Check the airflow as instructed under Adjusting Indoor
Airflow to verify or adjust indoor airflow for maximum
efficiency. Make any air flow adjustments before
continuing with the optimizing procedure.

Indoor blower airflow (CFM) may be calculated by
energizing electric heat and measuring:
Temperature rise between the return air and supply air
temperatures at the indoor coil blower unit,
Measuring voltage supplied to the unit,
Measuring amperage being drawn by the heat unit(s).
Then, apply the measurements taken in the following

OPTIMIZE CHARGE USING SUBCOOLING
1. Check liquid and vapor line pressures. Compare pressures with either second−stage heat
or cooling mode normal operating pressures listed in table 4. Table 4 is a general guide
and expect minor pressures variations. Significant pressure differences may indicate
improper charge or other system problem.
2. Decide whether to use cooling or heating mode based on current outdoor ambient

A Use COOLING MODE when:
Outdoor ambient temperature is 60°F (15.5°C) and above.
Indoor return air temperature range is between 70 to 80°F (21−27°C). This
temperature range is what the target subcooling values are base upon in table
3.
If indoor return air temperature is not within reference range, set thermostat to
cooling mode and a setpoint of 68ºF (20ºC). This should place the outdoor unit into
second−stage (high−capacity) cooling mode. When operating and temperature
pressures have stabilized, continue to step 3.
B Use HEATING MODE when:
Outdoor ambient temperature is 59°F (15.0°C) and below.
Indoor return air temperature range is between 65−75°F (18−24°C). This
temperature range is what the target subcooling values are base upon in table
3.
If indoor return air temperature is not within reference range, set thermostat to
heating mode and a setpoint of 77ºF (25ºC). This should place the outdoor unit into
second−stage (high−capacity) heating mode. When operating and temperature
pressures have stabilized, continue to step 3.

System Operation
IMPORTANT
Some scroll compressor have internal vacuum protector
that will unload scrolls when suction pressure goes
below 20 psig. A hissing sound will be heard when the
compressor is running unloaded. Protector will reset
when low pressure in system is raised above 40 psig. DO
NOT REPLACE COMPRESSOR.
High Pressure Switch (S4)
This unit is equipped with a auto-reset high pressure
switch (single−pole, single−throw) which is located on the
liquid line. The switch shuts off the compressor when
discharge pressure rises above the factory setting. High
Pressure (auto reset) − trip at 590 psig, reset at 418 psig.
Low Pressure Switch (S87)
This unit is equipped an auto−reset low pressure switch
which is located on the vapor line. The switch shuts off the
compressor when the vapor pressure falls below the
factory setting. Low Pressure (auto reset) − trip at 25 psig,
reset at 40 psig.
Low Pressure Switch Bypass (S41) (Optional)
For use in applications where the heat pump is operated in
outdoor ambient temperatures below 15°F.
Prevents nuisance trips form the low pressure switch
Wired in parallel with the low pressure switch
Thermal Protection Switch (S173) Compressor
Mounted
Some units are equipped with a compressor mounted
normally closed temperature switch that prevents
compressor damage due to overheating caused by
internal friction. The switch is located on top of the
compressor casing (see figure 1). This switch senses the
compressor casing temperature and opens at 239−257°F
(115°C−125°C) to shut off compressor operation. The
auto−reset switch closes when the compressor casing
temperature falls to 151−187°F (66°C−86°C), and the
compressor is re−energized. This single−pole, single−throw
(SPST) bi−metallic switch is wired in series with the 24V Y
input signal to control compressor operation.
Crankcase Thermostat (S40) (−042, −048 and −060
Units Only)
The reference models are equipped with a 70 watt, belly
band type crankcase heater. HR1 prevents liquid from
accumulating in the compressor. HR1 is controlled by a
thermostat located on the liquid line. When liquid line
temperature drops below 50° F the thermostat closes
energizing HR1. The thermostat will open, de−energizing
HR1 once liquid line temperature reaches 70° F .
Defrost Thermostat (S6)
The defrost thermostat is located on the liquid line between
the check/expansion valve and the distributor. When
defrost thermostat senses 42°F (5.5°C) or cooler, the
thermostat contacts close and send a signal to the defrost
control to start the defrost timing. It also terminates defrost
when the liquid line warms up to 70°F (21°C).
Bi−Flow Liquid Line Filter Drier
The unit is equipped with a large−capacity biflow filter drier
which keeps the system clean and dry. If replacement is
necessary, order another of the same design and capacity.
The replacement filter drier must be suitable for use with
HFC−410A refrigerant.
Defrost System
The XP13 defrost system includes two components: a
defrost thermostat (S6) and a defrost control (CMC1)
(figure 14).

DEFROST CONTROL (CMC1)
The defrost control includes the combined functions of a
time/temperature defrost control, defrost relay, diagnostic
LEDs and terminal strip for field wiring connections.
The defrost control provides automatic switching from
normal heating operation to defrost mode and back. When
the defrost thermostat is closed, the control accumulates
compressor run time at 30, 60 or 90 minute field adjustable
intervals. When the selected compressor run time interval
is reached, the defrost relay is energized and defrost
begins.
Defrost Control Timing Pins (P1)
Each timing pin selection provides a different
accumulated compressor run time period for one defrost
cycle. This time period must occur before a defrost cycle
is initiated. The defrost interval can be adjusted to 30
(T1), 60 (T2), or 90 (T3) minutes (see figure 22). The
maximum defrost period is 14 minutes and cannot be
adjusted.
NOTE Defrost control part number is listed near the P1
timing pins.
Units with defrost control 100269−02: Factory default
is 60 minutes
Units with defrost control 100269−04: Factory default

Compressor Delay (P5)
The defrost control has a field−selectable function to
reduce occasional sounds that may occur while the unit is
cycling in and out of the defrost mode.
Units with defrost control 100269−02: The compressor
will be cycled off for 30 seconds going in and out of the
defrost mode when the compressor delay jumper is
removed.
Units with defrost control 100269−04: The compressor
will be cycled off for 30 seconds going in and out of the
defrost mode when the compressor delay jumper is
installed.
NOTE The 30-second compressor feature is ignored
when jumpering the TEST pins.
Time Delay
The timed-off delay is five minutes long. The delay helps to
protect the compressor from short-cycling in case the
power to the unit is interrupted or a pressure switch opens.
The delay is bypassed by placing the timer select jumper
across the TEST pins for 0.5 seconds.
Test Mode (P1)
A TEST option is provided for troubleshooting. The TEST
mode may be started any time the unit is in the heating
mode and the defrost thermostat is closed or
jumpered. If the jumper is in the TEST position at
power-up, the defrost control will ignore the test pins.
When the jumper is placed across the TEST pins for two
seconds, the defrost control will enter the defrost mode. If
the jumper is removed before an additional 5−second
period has elapsed (7 seconds total), the unit will remain in
defrost mode until the defrost thermostat opens or 14
minutes have passed. If the jumper is not removed until
after the additional 5−second period has elapsed, the
defrost will terminate and the test option will not function
again until the jumper is removed and re−applied.
Defrost Control Diagnostic LEDs
The defrost board uses two LEDs for diagnostics. The
LEDs flash a specific sequence according to the condition.

Maintenance
DEALER
Maintenance and service must be performed by a qualified
installer or service agency. At the beginning of each
cooling season, the system should be checked as follows:
Outdoor Unit
1. Clean and inspect the outdoor coil. The coil may be
flushed with a water hose. Ensure the power is turned
off before you clean the coil.
2. Outdoor fan motor is prelubricated and sealed. No
further lubrication is needed.
3. Visually inspect connecting lines and coils for
evidence of oil leaks.
4. Check wiring for loose connections.
5. Check for correct voltage at the unit (with the unit
operating).
6. Check amp−draw outdoor fan motor.
UNIT NAMEPLATE: _________ ACTUAL: __________
NOTE − If owner reports insufficient cooling, the unit should
be gauged and refrigerant charge checked.
Outdoor Coil
It may be necessary to flush the outdoor coil more
frequently if it is exposed to substances which are
corrosive or which block airflow across the coil (e.g., pet
urine, cottonwood seeds, fertilizers, fluids that may contain
high levels of corrosive chemicals such as salts)
Outdoor Coil The outdoor coil may be flushed with
a water hose.
Outdoor Coil (Sea Coast) Moist air in ocean
locations can carry salt, which is corrosive to most
metal. Units that are located near the ocean require
frequent inspections and maintenance. These
inspections will determine the necessary need to wash
the unit including the outdoor coil. Consult your
installing contractor for proper intervals/procedures
for your geographic area or service contract.
INDOOR UNIT
1. Clean or change filters.
2. Adjust blower speed for cooling. Measure the pressure
drop over the coil to determine the correct blower CFM.
Refer to the unit information service manual for pressure
drop tables and procedure.
3. Check blower drive belt for wear and proper tension.

1. Clean coil, if necessary.
2. Check connecting lines and coils for signs of oil leaks.
3. Check condensate line and clean, if necessary.
NOTE
any time the unit is in operation.
HOMEOWNER
Cleaning of the outdoor unit’s coil should be performed by
a trained service technician. Contact your dealer and set
up a schedule (preferably twice a year, but at least once a
year) to inspect and service your outdoor unit. The
following maintenance may be performed by the
homeowner.
The filter and all access panels must be in place
IMPORTANT
Sprinklers and soaker hoses should not be installed
where they could cause prolonged exposure to the
outdoor unit by treated water. Prolonged exposure of the
unit to treated water (i.e., sprinkler systems, soakers,
waste water, etc.) will corrode the surface of steel and
aluminum parts and diminish performance and longevity
of the unit.
Outdoor Coil
The outdoor unit must be properly maintained to ensure its
proper operation.
Please contact your dealer to schedule proper
inspection and maintenance for your equipment.
Make sure no obstructions restrict airflow to the
outdoor unit.
Grass clippings, leaves, or shrubs crowding the unit
can cause the unit to work harder and use more
energy.
Keep shrubbery trimmed away from the unit and
periodically check for debris which collects around the
unit.
Routine Maintenance
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.
1. Air Filter 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.
2. Disposable Filter Disposable filters should be
replaced with a filter of the same type and size.
NOTE If you are unsure about the filter required for your
system, call your Lennox dealer for assistance.
3. Reusable Filter Many indoor units are equipped
with reusable foam filters. Clean foam filters with a
mild soap and water solution; rinse thoroughly; allow
filter to dry completely before returning it to the unit or
grille.
NOTE The filter and all access panels must be in place
any time the unit is in operation.
4. Indoor Unit The indoor unit’s 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 the location of
the drain line and how to check for obstructions. (This
would also apply to an auxiliary drain, if installed.)

Thermostat Operation
See the thermostat homeowner manual for instructions on
how to operate your thermostat.
Heat Pump Operation
Your new Lennox heat pump has several characteristics
that you should be aware of:
Heat pumps satisfy heating demand by delivering
large amounts of warm air into the living space. This
is quite different from gas- or oil-fired furnaces or an
electric furnace which deliver lower volumes of
considerably hotter air to heat the space.
Do not be alarmed if you notice frost on the outdoor coil
in the winter months. Frost develops on the outdoor
coil during the heating cycle when temperatures are
below 45F (7C). The heat pump control activates a
defrost cycle lasting 5 to 15 minutes at preset intervals
to clear the outdoor coil of the frost.
During the defrost cycle, you may notice steam rising
from the outdoor unit. This is a normal occurrence. The
thermostat may engage auxiliary heat during the
defrost cycle to satisfy a heating demand; however,
the unit will return to normal operation at the
conclusion of the defrost cycle.
Extended Power Outage
The heat pump is equipped with a compressor crankcase
heater which protects the compressor from refrigerant
slugging during cold weather operation.
If power to your unit has been interrupted for several hours
or more, set the room thermostat selector to the
EMERGENCY HEAT setting to obtain temporary heat
without the risk of serious damage to the heat pump.
In EMERGENCY HEAT mode, all heating demand is
satisfied by auxiliary heat; heat pump operation is locked
out. After a six-hour compressor crankcase warm-up
period, the thermostat can be switched to the HEAT setting
and normal heat pump operation may resume.
Preservice Check
If your system fails to operate, check the following before
calling for service:
Verify room thermostat settings are correct.
Verify that all electrical disconnect switches are ON.
Check for any blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers.
Verify unit access panels are in place.
Verify air filter is clean.
If service is needed, locate and write down the unit
model number and have it handy before calling.
