Impo tant Di ections
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.
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 d aw etu n ai f om a oom whe e this fu Ć
nace, o any othe gas appliance (ie., a wate heatĆ
e ), 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.
WARNING
The blowe doo must be secu ely in place when the
blowe and bu ne s a e ope ating. Gas fumes, which
could contain ca bon monoxide, can be d awn into
the living space esulting in pe sonal inju y o death.
You fu nace 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
Ca bon monoxide gas is invisible, odo less, and
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 ecommends the use of a ca bon monoxĆ
ide detecto in you 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.
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. roper
maintenance is critical for your safety and the satisfactory
operation of the product. Lennox st ongly ecommends
annual inspection and maintenance of this appliance.
Contact your Lennox dealer for an inspection by a qualiĆ
fied service technician.

Filte s
This unit is not equipped with a filter or rack. A field-proĆ
vided, high-velocity filter is required to ensure proper unit
operation.
A filter must be in place any time the unit is operating.
Seasonal Inspections
A qualified service technician should inspect the complete
system each season (heating and cooling). The following
maintenance procedures should only be conducted by a
qualified service technician. Do not attempt to se vice
the unit in any way.
Venting System
WARNING
Asphyxiation Haza d
The exhaust vent fo this fu nace must be secu ely
connected to the fu nace flue colla at all times.
Fo you safety and to fulfill the te ms of the limited
wa anty, a qualified se vice technician must annualĆ
ly inspect this fu nace and its vent system.
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.
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.
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.
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.
During a seasonal check, the service technician will inĆ
spect the indoor blower and the burner flames along with
the venting system.
Blowe
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.
Bu ne Flame
CAUTION
To ensu e p ope ope ation, a qualified technician
should annually check the bu ne flame.
Se vice Reminde
Call your Lennox service technician if the unit will not operĆ
ate. Before calling, always check the following to be sure
service is required.
1 - Check that electrical disconnect switches are ON.
2 - Check room thermostat for proper setting.
3 - Replace any blown fuses or reset circuit breakers.
4 - Gas valve should be ON.
5 - Check the air filter. A dirty filter limits air flow.
6 - Is gas turned on at meter?
7 - Is manual main shut-off valve open?
Record the model and serial number of the furnace. These
numbers are on the unit nameplate, which is located below
the burners.

Safety P ecautions
If you discove any of the following, shut down you
unit and contact a Lennox deale fo an inspection by a
qualified 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 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.

can be repaired or replaced.
Pay attention to you fu nace. 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.
