WARNING
Do not use this furnace if any part has been un erĆ
water. Imme iately call a qualifie service techniĆ
cian to inspect the furnace an to replace any part
of the control system an any gas control which
has been un er water.
WARNING
If overheating occurs or if gas supply fails to shut
off, shut off the manual gas valve to the appliance
before shutting off electrical supply.
CAUTION
Before attempting to perform any service or mainteĆ
nance, turn the electrical power to unit OFF at isĆ
connect switch.
WARNING
Do not set the thermostat below 60_F (16_C) when
it is in heating mo e. Setting the thermostat below
60_F (16_C) re uces the number of heating cycles.
Damage to the unit may occur that is not covere by
the warranty.
BEFORE LIGHTING smell all aroun the appliance
area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor beĆ
cause some gas is heavier than air an will settle on
the floor.

Use only your han to push in or move the gas control
lever or switch. Never use tools. If the lever or switch
will not push in or move by han , o not try to repair it,
call a qualifie service technician. Force or attempte
repair may result in a fire or explosion.
Important Directions
1. Keep the furnace area clear and free of combustible
material, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and
liquids. If installed in an insulated area, furnace must
be kept free of insulating material. Insulating material
may be combustible.
2. DO NOT obstruct air flow to unit. Unit must receive
an unobstructed flow of combustion and ventilatĆ
ing 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 raw the return air from a room where
another gas appliance (ie., a water heater) is
installe . Even though this furnace draws its comĆ
bustion air from outside of the structure, other gas
appliances that share a utility room may not. When
return air is drawn from a room, a negative pressure
is created in the room. If a gas appliance 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 distribĆ
uted through the house by the furnace duct system.
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 presĆ
sure and gas flow rate, adequate combustion, air, and
proper venting.
WARNING
Carbon monoxi e gas is invisible, o orless, an
toxic
Exposure to this gas can cause personal injury and even
death to all occupants, including pets. Any item that is
powered by or gives off heat from a combustion process
(including lawn mowers, automobiles, and fireplaces) has
the potential to produce carbon monoxide gas. Because
of this, Lennox recommen s the use of a carbon monĆ
oxi e etector in your home, even if you o not own
gas appliances. Reliable detectors are available at reaĆ
sonable retail prices.
Contact your independent Lennox dealer for more details
about this investment in your safety.
Your furnace is designed to meet standards set by nationĆ
al agencies, and to operate safely when properly installed
and maintained. However, the unit's performance can be
greatly impacted by the individual installation and the opĆ
erating environment. It is your responsibility to ensure
that this appliance is maintained. Proper maintenance is
critical for your safety and the satisfactory operation of the
product. Lennox strongly recommen s annual inĆ
spection an maintenance of this appliance. Contact
your independent Lennox dealer for an inspection by a
qualified service technician.

further lubrication is require .
Service
At the beginning of each heating season, the system
shoul be checke as follows:
1- Examine the termination ends of the intake and exĆ
haust lines for obstructions or blockages.
2- Check the intake and exhaust lines for holes, sagĆ
ging or broken isolation hangers. If a sag is found in
either line, raise the line and support it with an isolaĆ
tion hanger. Replace any damaged isolation hangĆ
ers.
3- The return air duct connection should be sealed to
the furnace casing and terminate outside the space
containing the furnace.
4- Check the physical support of the furnace. It should
be sound without sagging, cracks, gaps, etc., around
the base so as to provide a seal between the support
and the base.
5- Check that there is no obvious signs of deterioration
of the furnace.
6- Inspect and clean condensate drain system for free
flow of condensate.
IMPORTANT-If a change in the soun level of the unit
is etecte or there is evi ence of con ensate leakĆ
age aroun the unit, contact your Lennox service
technician.

Service Remin er
Call your Lennox service technician if the unit is inopĆ
erative. Before calling, always check the following to
be sure service is require :
1- Be sure electrical switches are ON.
2- Check the room thermostat for proper setting.
3- Replace any blown fuses or reset circuit breakers.
4- Make sure gas valve is on.
5- Blower access panel is in place.

Safety Precautions
If you iscover any of the following, shut own your
unit, an contact an in epen ent Lennox ealer for
an inspection by a qualifie technician.
DIf 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
unfamiliar noises.
DIf you smell any unusual odors, your unit may be operĆ
ating improperly. For example, units can give off unfaĆ
miliar odors if components are required to operate in
abnormal conditions.
DLook for visible signs of a malfunctioning unit. ExamĆ
ples include unusual amounts of condensate on winĆ
dows inside your house, visibly burnt components or
unusual dirt or rust accumulations on the vent pipe or
in the unit.
DIf you experience headache, nausea, fatigue, or dizziĆ
ness, the cause could be exposure to carbon monoxĆ
ide 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.
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.
Planne Service
You should expect a service technician to check the following
items during an annual inspection. Power to the unit must be
shut off for the service technician's safety.
Fresh air grilles an louvers (on the unit and in the room
where the furnace is installed) - Must be open and unobĆ
structed to provide combustion air.
Burners- Must be inspected for rust, dirt, or signs of water.
Vent pipe - Must be inspected for dirt, signs of water, damĆ
aged or sagging unsupported pipe, or disconnected joints.
Unit appearance - Must be inspected for rust, dirt, signs of
water, burnt or damaged wires, or components.
Blower access oor - Must be properly in place and provide
a seal between the return air and the room where the furnace
is installed.
Return air uct - Must be properly attached and provide an
airtight seal to the unit.
Operating performance - Unit must be observed during opĆ
eration to monitor proper performance of the unit and the
vent system.
Combustion gases - Flue products must be analyzed and
compared to the unit specifications.
Problems detected during the inspection may make it necesĆ
sary to temporarily shut down the furnace until the items can
be repaired or replaced.
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 carbon
monoxide gas.
