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 30
lists recommended filter sizes.
IMPORTANT
If a high efficiency filter is being installed as part of
this system to ensure better indoor air quality, the
filter must be properly sized. High efficiency filters
have a higher static pressure drop than standard
efficiency glass/foam filters. If the pressure drop is
too great, system capacity and performance may
be reduced. 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

Exhaust and air intake pipes
Check the exhaust and air intake pipes and all connec-
tions 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.

If cleaning the heat exchanger becomes necessary, follow
the below procedures and refer to figure 1 when disas-
sembling unit. Use papers or protective covering in front of
furnace while removing heat exchanger assembly.
1 - Turn off electrical and gas supplies to the furnace.
2 - Remove the furnace access panels.
3 - Disconnect the wires from the gas valve.
4 - Remove gas supply line connected to gas valve.
Remove 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 - Loosen clamps
condensate drain tubing from flue collar. and
remove the vent elbow.
8 - Loosen clamps and remove combustion air intake
flexible connector if equipped.
9 - 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.
10 - Mark and disconnect all combustion air pressure
tubing from cold end header collector box.
11 - Mark and remove wires from pressure switch
assembly. Remove pressure switch assembly.
Keep tubing attached to pressure switch assembly.
12 - Disconnect the plug from the combustion air inducer.
Remove two screws which secure combustion air
inducer to collector box. Remove combustion air
inducer assembly. Remove ground wire from vest
panel.
13 - Remove electrical junction box from the side of the
furnace.
14 - Disconnect condensate line from cold end header
box. Remove cold end header box.
15 - Loosen clamps on exhaust and air intake pipe seal
