The VWMB wall-mounted indoor units are matched with 

an outdoor heat recovery or heat pump unit to create a 

VRF (variable refrigerant flow) system that uses R-410A 

refrigerant. VWMB indoor units are designed for indoor 

installation only. 
Refer to the Product Specification bulletin (EHB) for the 

proper use of these indoor units with specific heat pumps, 

heat recovery units, mode switching devices, branch
pipes, line sets and controls.
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.

VWMB Wall-Mounted Units

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, ser vice or 

maintenance can cause property damage, personal 

injury or loss of life.

Installation and service must be performed by a li censed 

professional HVAC installer, service agency or the gas 

supplier.

Failure to follow safety warnings and these instruc tions 

exactly could result in property damage, dan gerous 

operation, serious injury, or death.

Any additions, changes, or conversions required in order 

for the appliance to satisfactorily meet the ap plication 

needs must be made by a licensed profes sional HVAC 

installer (or equivalent) using factory-specified parts.

Do not use this system if any part has been under water. 

A  flood-damaged  appliance  is  extremely  dan gerous. 

Immediately call a licensed professional HVAC service 

technician (or equivalent) to inspect the system and to 

replace all controls and electrical parts that have been 

wet, or to replace the system, if deemed necessary.

 CAUTION

As with any mechanical equipment, contact with sharp 

sheet metal edges can result in personal injury. Take 

care while handling this equipment and wear gloves and 

protective clothing.
To ensure proper system performance and reliability, 

Lennox does not recommend operation of VRF systems 

during any phase of construction. Construction debris, 

low temperatures, harmful vapors, and operation of the 

unit with misplaced filters can damage the units. Failure 

to follow these guidelines will result in the warranty 

being voided.

 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. These units must be 

installed as a part of a matched system as specified in 

the Product Specifications (EHB) bulletin.
