model). Hold auger motor gearbox in both hands and rock it back
and forth to release the auger. If this is unsuccessful, then contact
your authorized Lennox Hearth Products dealer.

Remove left side panel (freestanding model) and locate the orange
rubber hose that attaches the pressure switch to the exhaust
blower. Disconnect the rubber hose from orifice on blower housing.

sure. After test, reconnect hose to blower (NEVER operate the ap-
pliance with hose removed). Clean venting system and exhaust flow
passages as outlined in Routine Maintenance section of this man-
ual. Note: Multiple elbows are more susceptible to collecting ash

ers shut off for no
apparent reason.
Both the room air blower and the ex-
haust blower have an over-heat pro-
tector (high limit disc) built into them. If
the temperature of the blower motor
exceeds the high limit temperature,
then the motor shuts down.
Ensure the room air blower is adjusted to a setting at least as high
as or higher than the fuel fee setting. If the blower motor continues
to shut down, clean blower intake (see Routine Maintenance). If this
does not correct the problem, replace the blower.
