RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do
not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities
having jurisdiction before installation.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause personal injury, loss of life, or
damage to property.
Installation and service must be performed by a licensed
professional installer (or equivalent) or a service agency.
IMPORTANT
The Clean Air Act of 1990 bans the intentional venting of
refrigerant (CFCs, HCFCs and HFCs) as of July 1, 1992.
Approved methods of recovery, recycling or reclaiming
must be followed. Fines and/or incarceration may be
levied for noncompliance.
IMPORTANT
This unit must be matched with an indoor coil as speci-
fied in Lennox XC16 Engineering Handbook. Coils pre-
viously charged with HCFC−22 must be flushed.
NOTICE TO INSTALLER
UNIT PLACEMENT
It is critical for proper unit operation to place outdoor unit on an
elevated surface as described in Unit Placement section on page 7.
BRAZING LINE SET TO SERVICE VALVES
It is imperative to follow the brazing technique illustrated starting on
page 12 to avoid damaging the service valve's internal seals.

General
The XC16 Air Conditioners, which will also be referred to in
this instruction as the outdoor unit, uses HFC−410A
refrigerant. This outdoor unit must be installed with a
matching indoor unit and line set as outlined in the Lennox
XC16 Engineering Handbook. XC16 Air Conditioners are
designed for use in thermal expansion valve (TXV)
systems.
NOTE − The XC16 outdoor unit is rated for 230V
applications only. A hard-start kit is required for
applications where the supply voltage is less than 230V.
Shipping and Packing List
Check the unit for shipping damage and listed times below
are intact. If damaged, or if parts are missing, immediately
contact the last shipping carrier.
