VI-MAINTENANCE
A-Preliminary and Seasonal Checks
1 - Inspect electrical wiring, both field and factory installed
for loose connections. Tighten as required.
2 - Check voltage at disconnect switch. Voltage must be
within range listed on the nameplate. If not, consult the
power company and have voltage condition corrected
before starting unit.
At the beginning of each heating season, the system
should be checked as follows:
B-Filters
Filters should be inspected monthly. Clean or replace the
filters when necessary to ensure that the furnace operates
properly. Replacement filters must be rated for high veloc
ity airflow. See table 12.
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).

Cleaning the Heat Exchanger and Burners
NOTE - Use papers or protective covering in front of the fur
nace during cleaning.
1 - Turn off both electrical and gas power supplies to fur
nace.
2 - Remove flue pipe, top cap, flue chase and internal flue
pipe assembly from the unit.
3 - Label the wires from gas valve, rollout switches, prima
ry limit switch and make-up box then disconnect them.
4 - Remove the screws that secure the combustion air in
ducer/pressure switch assembly to the collector box.
Carefully remove the combustion air inducer to avoid
damaging blower gasket. If gasket is damaged, it must
be replaced to prevent leakage.
5 - Remove the collector box located behind the combus
tion air inducer. Be careful with the collector box gas
ket. If the gasket is damaged, it must be replaced to
prevent leakage.
6 - Disconnect gas supply piping. Remove the four screws
securing the burner manifold assembly to the vestibule
panel and remove the assembly from the unit.
7 - NOX units only - Remove screw securing NOX insert.
Remove NOX insert.
8 - Remove screws from both sides, top and bottom of
vestibule panel.
9 - Remove heat exchanger. It may be necessary to
spread cabinet side to allow more room. If so, remove
five screws from the left side or right side of cabinet.
See figure 18.
10- Back wash using steam. Begin from the burner opening
on each clam. Steam must not exceed 275°F.
11- To clean burners, run a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush
attachment over the face of burners. Visually inspect in
side the burners and crossovers for any blockage
caused by foreign matter. Remove any blockage. Figure
17 shows burner detail.
12- To clean the combustion air inducer visually inspect and
using a wire brush clean where necessary. Use com
pressed air to clean off debris and any rust.
13- Reinstall heat exchanger in vestibule. (Replace the
five screws in the cabinet from step 10 if removed).
14- NOX units only - replace NOX inserst.
15- Reinstall collector box, combustion air assembly, inter
nal flue pipe and flue chase. Seal with high tempera
ture RTV. Reinstall all screws to the collector box and
combustion air inducer. Failure to replace all screws
may cause leaks. Inspect gaskets for any damage and
replace if necessary.
