Your furnace is a gas appliance. It is critical that the gas  
supplied to the unit be completely burned to avoid the pro-  
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.  
IMPORTANT  
WARNING  
Any additions, changes, or conversions required in  
order for the appliance to satisfactorily meet the ap-  
plication needs must be made by a Lennox service  
technician using factory specified and approved  
parts.  
Carbon monoxide gas is invisible, odorless and  
toxic.  
Exposure to carbon monoxide gas can cause personal inju-  
ry and even death to all occupants, including pets. Any item  
that is powered by or gives off heat from a combustion pro-  
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 monox-  
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 maintenancecan cause property damage, person-  
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 ma-  
terial may be combustible.  
Your furnace is designed to meet standards set by nation-  
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 op-  
erating environment. It is your responsibility to ensure that  
this appliance is maintained. Proper maintenance is criti-  
cal for your safety and the satisfactory operation of the  
product. Lennox strongly recommends annual in-  
spection and maintenance of this appliance. Contact  
your Lennox dealer for an inspection by a qualified 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 fur-  
nace, or any other gas appliance (ie., a water heat-  
er), is installed. When return air is drawn from a room,  
a negative pressure is created in the room. If a gas ap-  
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.

Filters  
Service Reminder  
This unit is not equipped with a filter or rack. A field-pro-  
vided high-velocity filter is required for the unit to operate  
properly.  
Call your Lennox service technician if the unit will not oper-  
ate. Before calling, always check the following to be sure  
service is required:  
A filter must be in place whenever the unit is operating.  
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.  
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 service  
the unit in any way.  
5 - Air filter should not be plugged, which will limit 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.  
Venting System

The exhaust vent for this furnace must be securely  
connected to the furnace flue collar at all times.  
Safety Precautions  
For your safety and to fulfill the terms of the limited  
warranty, a qualified service technician must annual-  
ly inspect this furnace and its vent system.  
If you discover any of the following, shut down your  
unit, and contact a Lennox dealer for an inspection by  
a qualified technician.  
Annually (before heating season) inspect furnace venting  
system, vent cap, heat exchanger, and burners for corro-  
sion, deterioration, or deposits of debris. Remove any ob-  
structions.  
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 unfa-  
miliar noises.  
Inspect the furnace venting system to make sure it is in  
place, physically sound, and without holes, corrosion, or  
blockage. Vent connector must be in correct position,  
sloped upward and be physically sound without holes or  
excessive corrosion.  
If you smell any unusual odors, your unit may be operat-  
ing improperly. For example, units can give off unfamil-  
iar odors if components are required to operate in ab-  
normal conditions.  
Look for visible signs of a malfunctioning unit. Examples  
include unusual amounts of condensate on windows in-  
side your house, visibly burnt components or unusual  
dirt or rust accumulations on the vent pipe or in the unit.  
Inspect the furnace return air duct connection to ensure  
duct is sealed to the furnace and terminates outside the  
space containing the furnace.  
If you experience headache, nausea, fatigue, or dizzi-  
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 symp-  
toms that are exaggerated at home, but seem to sub-  
side while you are away from the house, exposure to  
carbon monoxide could be the cause.  
Inspect the physical support of the furnace to guarantee  
that it is sound without sagging, cracks or gaps around  
base and it maintains seal between base and support.  
During a seasonal check the service technician will inspect  
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 and clean, if necessary.  
Blower motor is pre-lubricatedfor 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 follow-  
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 unob-  
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 nec-  
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 be-  
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 car-  
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 pro-  
vide a seal between the return air and the room where the  
furnace is installed.
