Location Considerations
• Allow sufficient clearance for filter removal and to prevent
airflow obstruction
• Electrical service access will require the removal of the
side panel shown. Allow sufficient space for service on
this side of the unit.
• If locating the unit in an attic or crawl space, a Lennox
iComfort
®
S30 Thermostat, iComfort Wi-Fi
®
Thermostat,
ComfortSense
®
7000 Thermostat, or a Y6456 Control
mounted in the living space is recommended.
• For attic installations, it is recommended that the
dehumidifier be suspended.
• Always install the dehumidifier in a condensate pan when
locating in or over a finished space.
