Your furnace is a gas appliance. It is critical that the gas  
supplied to the unit be completely burned to avoid the proĆ  
duction of carbon monoxide gas. Complete combustion of  
the gas requires, but is not limited to, correct gas pressure  
and gas flow rate, adequate combustion air and proper  
venting.  
WARNING  
Do not use this furnace if any part has been under  
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician  
to inspect the furnace and to replace any part of the  
control system and any gas control which has been  
under water.  
WARNING  
Carbon monoxide gas is invisible, odorless, and  
toxic.  
IMPORTANT  
Any additions, changes, or conversions required in  
order for the appliance to satisfactorily meet the apĆ  
plication needs must be made by a Lennox service  
technician using factory specified and approved  
parts.  
Exposure to carbon monoxide gas can cause personal injuĆ  
ry and even death to all occupants, including pets. Any item  
that is powered by, or gives off heat from, a combustion proĆ  
cess (including lawn mowers, automobiles, and fireplaces)  
has the potential to produce carbon monoxide gas. Because  
of this, Lennox recommends the use of a carbon monoxĆ  
ide detector in your home, even if you do not own gas  
appliances. Reliable detectors are available at reasonable  
retail prices. Contact your Lennox dealer for more details  
about this investment in your safety.  
WARNING  
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service  
or maintenance can cause property damage, personĆ  
al injury or loss of life. Installation and service must  
be performed by a qualified installer, service agency  
or the gas supplier.  
Important Directions  
1 - Keep the furnace area clear and free of combustible  
material, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and  
liquids. If it is installed in an insulated area, the furnace  
must be kept free of insulating material. Insulating maĆ  
terial may be combustible.  
Your furnace is designed to meet standards set by nationĆ  
al agencies. It should operate safely when properly  
installed and maintained. However, the unit's perforĆ  
mance can be greatly impacted by the individual installaĆ  
tion and the operating environment. It is your responsibilĆ  
ity to ensure that this appliance is maintained. Proper  
maintenance is critical for your safety and the satisfactory  
operation of the product. Lennox strongly recommends  
annual inspection and maintenance of this appliance.  
Contact your Lennox dealer for an inspection by a qualiĆ  
fied service technician.  
2 - DO NOT obstruct air flow to unit. Unit must receive an  
unobstructed flow of combustion and ventilating air.  
3 - DO NOT store chlorine or fluorine products near unit  
or introduce these products into the combustion air.  
These products can cause furnace corrosion.  
4 - DO NOT draw return air from a room where this furĆ  
nace, or any other gas appliance (ie., a water heatĆ  
er), is installed. When return air is drawn from a room,  
a negative pressure is created in the room. If a gas apĆ  
pliance is operating in a room with negative pressure,  
the flue products can be pulled back down the vent  
pipe and into the room. This reverse flow of the flue  
gas may result in incomplete combustion and the  
formation of carbon monoxide gas. This toxic gas  
might then be distributed throughout the house by the  
furnace duct system.  
Lighting Information & Operation  
WARNING  
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire  
or explosion may result causing property damage,  
personal injury or death.  
WARNING  
The blower door must be securely in place when the  
blower and burners are operating. Gas fumes, which  
could contain carbon monoxide, can be drawn into  
the living space resulting in personal injury or death.  
BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area  
for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas  
is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.

Safety Precautions  
Annually (before heating season) inspect furnace venting  
system, vent cap, heat exchanger and burners for corroĆ  
sion, deterioration, or deposits of debris. Remove any obĆ  
structions.  
If you discover any of the following, shut down your  
unit and contact a Lennox dealer for an inspection by a  
qualified technician.  
D If you repeatedly hear any new or unfamiliar sounds  
while your unit is operating, there may be a problem. For  
example, poorly performing burners can produce unfaĆ  
miliar noises.  
Inspect the furnace venting system to make sure it is in  
place, physically sound and without holes, corrosion, or  
blockage. The vent connector must be correctly posiĆ  
tioned and sloped upward. The vent connector must be  
physically sound, without holes or excessive corrosion.  
D If you smell any unusual odors, your unit may be operatĆ  
ing improperly. For example, units can give off unfamilĆ  
iar odors if components are required to operate in abĆ  
normal conditions.  
Inspect the furnace return air duct connection. The duct  
must be sealed to the furnace and it must terminate outside  
the space containing the furnace.  
D Look for visible signs of a malfunctioning unit. Examples  
include unusual amounts of condensate on windows inĆ  
side your house, visibly burnt components or unusual  
dirt or rust accumulations on the vent pipe or in the unit.  
Inspect the physical support of the furnace to guarantee  
that it is sound. The support must not sag and must not  
have cracks or gaps around the base of the furnace. There  
must be a seal between the furnace base and the support.  
D If you experience headache, nausea, fatigue, or dizziĆ  
ness, the cause could be exposure to carbon monoxide  
gas. This is often misdiagnosed as the flu because  
symptoms are similar. If you suffer from flu-like sympĆ  
toms that are exaggerated at home, but seem to subĆ  
side while you are away from the house, exposure to  
carbon monoxide could be the cause.  
During a seasonal check, the service technician will inĆ  
spect the indoor blower and the burner flames along with  
the venting system.  
Blower  
Your vigilance may pay off in early detection of a problem  
before either personal injury or property damage occurs.  
Do not hesitate to contact a qualified service technician as  
an investment in your well being.  
Check blower wheel for any debris. Clean blower wheel, if  
necessary. The blower motor is pre-lubricated for extended  
bearing life. No further lubrication is needed.

Return air duct - Must be properly attached and provide  
Planned Service  
an air seal to the unit.  
You should expect a service technician to check the followĆ  
ing items during an annual inspection. Power to the unit  
must be shut off for the service technician's safety.  
Operating performance - Unit must be observed during  
operation to monitor proper performance of the unit and the  
vent system.  
Fresh air grilles and louvers (on the unit and in the room  
where the furnace is installed) - Must be open and unobĆ  
structed to provide combustion air.  
Combustion gases - Flue products must be analyzed and  
compared to the unit specifications.  
Problems detected during the inspection may make it necĆ  
essary to temporarily shut down the furnace until the items  
can be repaired or replaced.  
Burners - Must be inspected for rust, dirt, or signs of water.  
Vent pipe - Must be inspected for signs of water, damaged  
or sagging pipe, or disconnected joints.  
Pay attention to your furnace. Situations can arise beĆ  
tween annual furnace inspections that may result in unsafe  
operation. For instance, items innocently stored next to the  
furnace may obstruct the combustion air supply. This could  
cause incomplete combustion and the production of carĆ  
bon monoxide gas.  
Unit appearance - Must be inspected for rust, dirt, signs  
of water, burnt or damaged wires, or components.  
Blower access door - Must be properly in place and proĆ  
vide a seal between the return air and the room where the  
furnace is installed.
