General
Refer to the Product Specifications bulletin (EHB) for more
product information. These instructions are intended as
a general guide and do not supersede local or national
codes in any way. Authorities having jurisdiction should
be consulted before installation.
This wall­mounted indoor unit is matched with an outdoor
air conditioner unit to create a mini­split system that uses
HFC­410A refrigerant.
Use of Mini-Split System During
Construction
Lennox does not recommend the use of its mini­split
systems during any phase of construction. Very low return
air temperatures, harmful vapors and operation of the unit
with clogged or misplaced filters will damage the system.
However, mini­split systems may be used for cooling of
buildings under construction, if the following conditions
are met:
• Air filter must be installed in the system and must be
maintained during construction.
• Air filter must be replaced upon construction comple ­
tion.
• The indoor wall unit assembly must be thoroughly
cleaned following final construction clean-up.
• All mini-split operating conditions must be verified ac ­
cording to these installation instructions.
