S fety Instructions
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.
2 - DO NOT obstruct air flow to unit. Unit must receive an
unobstructed flow of combustion and ventilating air.
DO NOT block or obstruct air openings on the furnace
or air openings to the area in which the furnace is
installed. Take care to maintain established clearĆ
ances surrounding the furnace.
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 dr w return ir from room where this furĆ
n ce, or ny other g s ppli nce (ie., w ter he tĆ
er), is inst lled. 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.
WARNING
The blower door must be securely in pl ce when the
blower nd burners re oper ting. G s fumes, which
could cont in c rbon monoxide, c n be dr wn into
the living sp ce resulting in person l injury or de th.
Your furn ce is g s ppli nce. 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
C rbon monoxide g s is invisible, odorless nd
toxic.
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 c rbon monoxĆ
ide detector in your home, even if you do not own g s
ppli nces. Reliable detectors are available at reasonable
retail prices. Contact your 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. roper maintenance is critiĆ
cal for your safety and the satisfactory operation of the
product. Lennox strongly recommends nnu l inĆ
spection nd m inten nce of this ppli nce. Contact
your Lennox dealer for an inspection by a qualified service
technician.

S fety Prec utions
If you discover ny of the following, shut down your
unit, nd cont ct Lennox de ler for n inspection by
qu lified technici n.
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 unfaĆ
miliar noises.
DIf 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.
DLook 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.
DIf 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.
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.
Pl nned Service
You should expect a service technician to check the followĆ
ing items during an annual inspection. ower to the unit
must be shut off for the service technician's safety.
Fresh ir grilles nd 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 signs of water, damaged
or sagging pipe, or disconnected joints.
Unit ppe r nce - Must be inspected for rust, dirt, signs
of water, burnt or damaged wires, or components.
Blower ccess door - Must be properly in place and proĆ
vide a seal between the return air and the room where the
furnace is installed.
Return ir duct - Must be properly attached and provide
an air seal to the unit.
Oper ting perform nce - Unit must be observed during

vent system.
Combustion g ses - Flue products must be analyzed and
compared to the unit specifications.
roblems detected during the inspection may make it necĆ
essary to temporarily shut down the furnace until the items
can be repaired or replaced.
P y ttention to your furn ce. 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.
