Improper installation of the furnace can result in per­
sonal injury or death. Combustion and flue products
must never be allowed to enter the return air system
or the living space. Use screws and joint tape to seal
the return air system to the furnace.
In platform installations with bottom return air, the
furnace should be sealed airtight to the return air ple­
num. A door must never be used as a portion of the
return air duct system. The base must provide a
stable support and an airtight seal to the furnace. Al­
low absolutely no sagging, cracks, gaps, etc.
The return and supply air duct systems must never
be connected to or from other heating devices such
as a fireplace or stove, etc. Fire, explosion, carbon
monoxide poisoning, personal injury and/or proper­
ty damage could result.
WARNING

Filters

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. Table 2 lists recommended filter sizes.
A filter must be in place any time the unit is operating.
IMPORTANT
If a high­efficiency filter is being installed as part of
this system to ensure better indoor air quality, the fil­
ter must be properly sized. High­efficiency filters
have a higher static pressure drop than standard­ef­
ficiency glass/foam filters. If the pressure drop is too
great, system capacity and performance may be re­
duced. The pressure drop may also cause the limit to
trip more frequently during the winter and the indoor
coil to freeze in the summer, resulting in an increase
in the number of service calls.
Before using any filter with this system, check the
specifications provided by the filter manufacturer
against the data given in the appropriate Lennox
Product Specifications bulletin. Additional informa­
tion is provided in Service and Application Note
ACC­00­2 (August 2000).

Duct System

Use industry-approved standards to size and install the
supply and return air duct system. This will result in a quiet
and low-static system that has uniform air distribution.
NOTE - Do not operate the furnace in the heating mode
with an external static pressure that exceeds 125Pa (0.5"
w.c.) Higher external static pressures may cause erratic
limit operation.
Supply Air Plenum
If the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, a removable
access panel must be installed in the supply air duct. The
access panel should be large enough to permit inspection
(either by smoke or reflected light) of the heat exchanger
for leaks after the furnace is installed. The furnace access
panel must always be in place when the furnace is operat­
ing and it must not allow leaks into the supply air duct sys­
tem.
Unit Capacity
NOTE - The number of outlets was calculated for the facto­
ry set heating speed tap.
Return Air Plenum
NOTE - Return air must not be drawn from a roomwhere
this furnace, or any other gas-fueled appliance
(i.e., water heater), or carbon monoxide producing device
(i.e., wood fireplace) is installed.
When return air is drawn from a room, a negative pres­
sure is created in the room. If a gas appliance 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 com­
bustion and the formation of carbon monoxide gas. This
toxic gas might then be distributed throughout the house
by the furnace duct system.
