The EL16XC1 air conditioners, which will also be referred
to in this instruction as the outdoor unit, use HFC-410A
refrigerant. This outdoor unit must be installed with a
matching indoor unit and line set as outlined in the Lennox
EL16XC1 Engineering Handbook.
This outdoor unit is designed for use in systems that use
one of the following refrigerant metering devices:

Expansion valve (TXV)
IMPORTANT : Special procedures are required for
cleaning the aluminum coil in this unit. See page 23 in this
manual for information.
