Adequate clearance must be made around the air open-
ings into the vestibule area. Provisions must be made for
proper operation and for combustion air and ventilation air
supply according to the current National Fuel Gas Code or
CAN/CGA-B149 standards.
Vent installations must be according to the provided vent-
ing tables and applicable provisions of local building codes.
This furnace is AGA and CGA certified for installationclear-
ances tocombustible matedal as listedon the unitratingplate
and in the tables in figures 5, 7 and 9. Accessibility and ser-
vice clearances must take precedence over fire protection
clearances.
NOTE -For installation on combustible floors, the fumaca shall
not be installed directly on carpeting, b'le,or other combustible
material other than wood flooring.
For installation in a residential garage, the fumace must be
installed so that the bumer(s) and the ignitionsourceare lo-
cated no tessthan 18 inches (457 mm) above the floor.The
furnace must be located or protectedto avcid physicaldarn-
age byvehicles.Whena furnaceisinstalledina publicgarage,
hangar, or other building that has a hazardous atmosphere,
the furnace must be installed according to recomrnended
good practice requirements and current National Fuel Gas
Code or CAN/CGA B149.1 and B149.2standards.
The furnace must be adjusted to obtain a temperature dse
within the range specified on the unit rating plate.
The G24M fumace must be installed sothat electrical com-
ponents are protected from water.
When the furnace is used with cooling units, it shall be
installed in parallel with, or on the upstream sideof, cooling
units to avoid condensation in the heating compartment.
With a parallel flowarrangement, a damper (or othermeans
to control the flow of air) must adequately prevent chilled air
from entedng the furnace. If the damper is manually oper-
ated, it must be equipped to prevent operation of either the
heating or the cooling unit, unless itis in the full "HEAT" or
"COOL" setting.
When installed,the furnace must be electricallygrounded
accordingto localcodes.In addition,inthe United States,
installationmustconformwith the currentNationalElectric
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70. The National Electric Code
(ANSI/NFPA No. 70) is available from the followingad-
dress:

In Canada, all electrical wiring and grounding for the unit
must be installed according tothe current regulations of the
Canadian Electrical Code Part I (CSA Standard C22.1)
and/orlocal cedes.
Field wiring connections must meet or exceed specifica-
tions of type T wireand withstand a maximum temperature
rise of 180°F (82°C).
When the furnace isinstalled so that supply ducts carry air
circulated by the fumaceto areasoutside of the space con-
taining the furnace, retum air shall be handled by a duct(s)
sealed to the furnace casing and terminating outside space
containing furnace.
NOTE -G24M series unitsmust not be usedas a construc-
tion heater during anyphase of construction. Very low re-
turn air temperatures, harmful vapors and misplacement of
the fi#ers will damage the unit and lower its efficiency.
The Lennox G24M furnace may be installed in alcoves,
closets, attics, basements, garages and utility rooms in the
upflow, downflow, or hedzontal position.
This furnace design hasnot been AGA or CGA certified for
installation in mobile homes, recreational vehicles, or out-
doors.
AWARNING
These instructionsareintendedas a generalguideand de not
supersedelocalcodesinanyway.Consult authoritieshaving
judsd_ before installation.
In additionto therequirementsoutlinedpreviously,the fol-
lowinggeneral recommendationsshould be considered
when installingtheLennoxG24M furnace.
The furnaceshouldbeplacedas closetothe centerof the
air distributionsystemas possible.Thefurnaceshouldalso
be located closetothe chimneyorvent terminationpoint.
Do not installthefumaca where drafts mightblowdirectly
intoit. Thiscouldcause impropercombustionand unsafe
operation.
Do notblockfumaca combustionair openingswith cloth-
ing, boxes, doors,etc. Combustion airisneeded for proper
combustion and safe unit operation.
When the furnace is installed in an attic or other insulated
space, keep insulation away from the furnace.
