Lennox International Inc. HS27 - Manual (Page 2)

Congratulations,
you have made a
wise choice with the
purchase of your
Lennox air condiĆ
tioner. For over 100 years,
people have trusted Lennox to
make their lives more comfortĆ
able. Lennox prides itself in
manufacturing high quality
products that keep you
comfortable and keep your
monthly energy bills low, year
after year.
Your unit is covered by one of the
best warranĆ
ties in the
industry.
The
compressor
in your new Lennox
air condiĆ
tioner is
backed by a
10Ćyear
limited
warranty. All remaining
components are covered by a
5Ćyear limited parts warranty.
That's one more reason to trust
Lennox.
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.
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 profesĆ
sional service.
Your Elite
R
Series air
conditioner includes a sheet
which outlines the warranty and
its conditions. Keep your
warranty along with other
important records concerning the
purchase and maintenance of
your heating and cooling
equipment.
You should be aware that failure
to maintain your system as outĆ
lined in this manual will void
your equipment warranty.
In order to ensure peak perforĆ
mance, your system must be
properly maintained. A little efĆ
fort on your part will keep your
system in top form year after
year. 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 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 reĆusable foam filters.
These filters can be cleaned with
a mild soap and water solution.
Rinse the filter thoroughly and
let it dry completely before reĆ
turning it 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 perĆ
cent 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.
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 evaporator coil
should be inspected and
cleaned. The outdoor condensĆ
er 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).
D The ampĆdraw at the
condenser fan motor and
indoor blower motor should be
checked. Values should be
compared with those given on
the unit nameplate.
D Indoor unit filters should be
cleaned or replaced.
D The refrigerant charge should
be checked and system
pressures should be gauged.
D The condensate drain line
should be checked for free and
unobstructed flow and it
should be cleaned, if necessary.
