Filters
All air filters are installed external to the unit. Filters should
be inspected monthly. Clean or replace the filters when
necessary to ensure proper furnace operation. Table 34
lists recommended filter sizes.
IMPORTANT
If a high­efficiency filter is being installed as part of
this system to ensure better indoor air quality, the fil­
ter must be properly sized. High­efficiency filters
have a higher static pressure drop than standard­ef­
ficiency glass/foam filters. If the pressure drop is too
great, system capacity and performance may be re­
duced. The pressure drop may also cause the limit to
trip more frequently during the winter and the indoor
coil to freeze in the summer, resulting in an increase
in the number of service calls.
Before using any filter with this system, check the
specifications provided by the filter manufacturer
against the data given in the appropriate Lennox
Product Specifications bulletin. Additional informa­
tion is provided in Service and Application Note
ACC­00­2 (August 2000).

Exhaust and air intake pipes
Check the exhaust and air intake pipes and all connections
for tightness and to make sure there is no blockage.
NOTE - After any heavy snow, ice or frozen fog event the
furnace vent pipes may become restricted. Always check
the vent system and remove any snow or ice that may be
obstructing the plastic intake or exhaust pipes.
Electrical
1 - Check all wiring for loose connections.
2 - Check for the correct voltage at the furnace (furnace
operating).
3 - Check amp-draw on the blower motor.

Cleaning Heat Exchanger
If cleaning the heat exchanger becomes necessary, follow
the below procedures and refer to figure 1 when disassem­
bling unit. Use papers or protective covering in front of fur­
nace while removing heat exchanger assembly.
1 - Turn off electrical and gas supplies to the furnace.
2 - Remove the furnace access panels.
3 - Disconnect the 2 wires from the gas valve.
4 - Remove gas supply line connected to gas valve. Re­
move the burner box cover (if equipped) and remove
gas valve/manifold assembly.
5 - Remove sensor wire from sensor. Disconnect 2‐pin
plug from the ignitor.
6 - Disconnect wires from flame roll-out switches.
7 - Disconnect combustion air intake pipe. It may be nec­
essary to cut the existing pipe to remove burner box
assembly.
8 - Remove four burner box screws at the vestibule panel
and remove burner box. Set burner box assembly
aside.
NOTE - If necessary, clean burners at this time. Follow
procedures outlined in Burner Cleaning section.
9 - Loosen the clamps to the flexible exhaust coupling.
10 - Disconnect condensate drain line from the cold end
header box.
11 - Disconnect condensate drain tubing from flue collar.
Remove screws that secures the flue collar into place.
Remove flue collar. It may be necessary to cut the exit­
ing exhaust pipe for removal of the fitting.
12 - Mark and disconnect all combustion air pressure tub­
ing from cold end header collector box.
13 - Mark and remove wires from pressure switch assem­
bly. Remove the assembly. Keep tubing attached to
pressure switches.
14 - Disconnect the plug from the combustion air inducer.
Remove two screws which secure combustion air in­
ducer to collector box. Remove combustion air induc­
er assembly. Remove ground wire from vest panel.
15 - Disconnect the condensate drain line.
16 - Remove cold end header box.
