NOTE  -  Use  replacement  filters  that  are  similar  in  size 

and efficiency ratings to those originally provided by the 

installing contractor. Use of replacement filters with higher 

filtration ratings may restrict air flow to the furnace. This 

may result in reduced unit efficiency, as well as premature 

blower motor failure.

A filter must be in place when the unit is operating.

Maintenance

A licensed professional service technician (or equivalent) 

should inspect the complete system each season (heat-

ing and cooling). The following maintenance procedures 

should only be conducted by a licensed professional ser-

vice technician (or equivalent). Do not attempt to service 

the unit in any way.

 WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE,

OR EXPLOSION HAZARD.

Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in 

dangerous operation, serious injury, death or property 

damage.
Improper maintenance could result in dangerous 

operation, serious injury, death, or property damage. 

Before performing maintenance disconnect all electrical 

power to furnace.

 CAUTION

To ensure proper operation, a licensed professional 

service technician (or equivalent) should check the 

burner  flame  and  conduct  a  combustion  analysis 

annually.

Annually (before heating season) inspect furnace venting 

system, vent cap, heat exchanger, and burners for cor-

rosion, deterioration, or deposits of debris. Remove any 

obstructions.
Inspect the furnace for obvious signs of deterioration. 

Inspect the furnace venting system to make sure it is in 

place, physically sound, and without holes, corrosion, or 

blockage.
Vent pipe must be clear and free of obstructions and must 

slope upward away from the furnace.

Inspect the furnace return air duct connection to ensure 

duct is sealed to the furnace and terminates outside the 

space containing the furnace.
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.
Inspect the condensate drain and trap for leaks and 

cracks. The drain and trap must also be cleaned and the 

trap must be filled with water.

During a seasonal check the service technician will con-

duc  a combustion analysis. The technician will also in-

spect the indoor blower, burner flames, electrical connec

-

tions and the venting system.

Blower

Check the blower wheel for debris and clean if necessary. 

The blower motors are prelubricated for extended bearing 

life. No further lubrication is needed.

 WARNING

The blower access panel must be securely in place when 

the blower and burners are operating. Gas fumes, which 

could contain carbon monoxide, can be drawn into living 

space resulting in personal injury or death.

Electrical

1 -  Check all wiring for loose connections.
2 -   Check for the correct voltage at the furnace (furnace 

operating).

3 -   Check amp-draw on the blower motor.

Service Reminder

Call your Lennox service technician if the unit will not op-

erate. 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 - 

 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 on 

the blower deck below the combustion air inducer.
