Start−Up And Performance Checklist - Lennox Merit 14HPX Installation Instructions Manual

4. The indoor unit's evaporator coil is
Indoor Unit
equipped with a drain pan to collect condensate
formed as your system removes humidity from the
inside air. Have your dealer show you the location of
the drain line and how to check for obstructions. (This
would also apply to an auxiliary drain, if installed.)
Thermostat Operation
See the thermostat homeowner manual for instructions on
how to operate your thermostat.
Heat Pump Operation
Your new Lennox heat pump has several characteristics
that you should be aware of:
S
Heat pumps satisfy heating demand by delivering
large amounts of warm air into the living space. This
is quite different from gas- or oil-fired furnaces or an
electric furnace which deliver lower volumes of
considerably hotter air to heat the space.
S
Do not be alarmed if you notice frost on the outdoor coil
in the winter months. Frost develops on the outdoor
coil during the heating cycle when temperatures are
below 45F (7C). An electronic control activates a
defrost cycle lasting 5 to 15 minutes at preset intervals
to clear the outdoor coil of the frost.
S
During the defrost cycle, you may notice steam rising
from the outdoor unit. This is a normal occurrence. The
thermostat may engage auxiliary heat during the
defrost cycle to satisfy a heating demand; however,
the unit will return to normal operation at the
conclusion of the defrost cycle.

The heat pump is equipped with a compressor crankcase
heater which protects the compressor from refrigerant
slugging during cold weather operation.
If power to your unit has been interrupted for several hours
or more, set the room thermostat selector to the
EMERGENCY HEAT setting to obtain temporary heat
without the risk of serious damage to the heat pump.
In EMERGENCY HEAT mode, all heating demand is
satisfied by auxiliary heat; heat pump operation is locked
out. After a six-hour compressor crankcase warm-up
period, the thermostat can be switched to the HEAT setting
and normal heat pump operation may resume.
If your system fails to operate, check the following before
calling for service:
S
Verify room thermostat settings are correct.
S
Verify that all electrical disconnect switches are ON.
S
Check for any blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers.
S
Verify unit access panels are in place.
S
Verify air filter is clean.
S
If service is needed, locate and write down the unit
model number and have it handy before calling.
