WARNING
Product contains fiberglass wool.
Disturbing the insulation in this product during
installation, maintenance, or repair will expose
you to fiberglass wool. Breathing this may
cause lung cancer. (Fiberglass wool is known to
the State of California to cause cancer.)
Fiberglass wool may also cause respiratory,
skin, and eye irritation.
To reduce exposure to this substance or for fur-
ther information, consult material safety data
sheets available from address shown below, or
contact your supervisor.

WARNING
Do not set thermostat below 60EF (16EC) in heat-
ing mode. Setting thermostat below 60EF (16EC)
reduces the number of heating cycles. Damage
to the unit may occur that is not covered by the
warranty.
WARNING
If overheating occurs or if gas supply fails to shut
off, shut off the manual gas valve to the ap-
pliance before shutting off electrical supply.

1 -- Keep the furnace area clear and free of combus-
tible material, gasoline, and other flammable va-
pors 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 re-
ceive an unobstructed flow of combustion and
ventilating air.
3 -- DO NOT store chlorine or fluorine products near

technician to inspect the furnace and to replace
any part of the control system and any gas con-
trol which has been under water.
CAUTION
Before attempting to perform any service or
maintenance, turn the electrical power to unit
OFF at disconnect switch.
IMPORTANT
Any additions, changes, or conversions required
in order for the appliance to satisfactorily meet
the application needs must be made by a Lennox
service technician using factory specified and ap-
proved parts.
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 combus-
tion process (including lawn mowers, automobiles,
and fireplaces) has the potential to produce carbon
monoxide gas. Because of this,

During a seasonal check the service technician will in-
spect the indoor blower, the burner flame and the
venting system.
Venting System
Annually (before heating s eason) inspect furnace
venting system, heat exchanger and burners for
corrosion, deterioration, or deposits of debris. Re-
move any obstructions .
Inspect furnace venting system to make sure it is in
place, physically sound, and without holes, corro-
sion, or blockage. Vent connector must be in correct
position, sloped upward and be physically sound
without holes or excessive corrosion.
Inspect furnace return air duct connection to ensure
duct is sealed to the furnace and terminates outside
the space containing the furnace.
Do not at-

Inspect the physical support ofthe furnace to guaran-
tee that it is sound without sagging, cracks or gaps
around base and it maintains seal between base and
support.
Inspect and clean the condensate traps and drain.
Blower
Check and clean blower wheel for any debris. Blower
motor is pre-lubricated for extended bearing life. No
further lubrication is needed.

f you experience headache, nausea, fatigue, or
dizziness, 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 symptoms that are exaggerated at
home, but seem to subside 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 be-
ing.

If you discover any of the following, shut down your
unit, and contact an independent Lennox dealer for
an inspection by a qualified technician.
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 unfamiliar noises.
If you smell any unusual odors, your unit may be
-
operating improperly. For example, units can give
off unfamiliar odors if components are required to
operate in abnormal conditions.
Look for visible signs of a malfunctioning unit. Ex-
-
amples include unusual amounts of condensate
on windows inside your house, visibly burnt com-
ponents or unusual dirt or rust accumulations on
the vent pipe or in the unit.
You should expect a service technician to check the
following items during an annual inspection. Power
to the unit must be shut off forthe servicetechnicians
safety.
Fresh air grilles and louvers
(on the unit and in the
room where the furnace is installed) -- Must be open
and unobstructed 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,
damaged or sagging unsupported pipe, or discon-
nected joints.
Unit appearance
-- Must be inspected for dirt, signs of
water, burnt or damaged wires, or components.
Blower access door
-- Must be properly in place and
provide a seal between the return air and the room
where the furnace is installed.
Return air duct
-- Must be properly attached and pro-
vide an airtight seal to unit.
Operating performance
-- Unit must be observed dur-
ing operation 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
necessary to temporarily shut down the furnace until
the items can be repaired or replaced.
Payattentiontoyourfurnace.
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 combus-
tion air supply. This could cause incomplete combus-
tion and the production of carbon monoxide gas.
