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 servicing could result in dangerous operation,
serious injury, death, or property damage. Before
servicing, disconnect all electrical power to furnace.
When servicing controls, label all wires prior to
disconnecting. Take care to reconnect wires correctly.
Verify proper operation after servicing.

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.
Annual Furnace Maintenance
At the beginning of each heating season, and to comply
with the Lennox Limited Warranty, your system should be
checked by a licensed professional technician (or equiva-
lent) as follows:
1 - Check wiring for loose connections, voltage at
indoor unit and amperage of indoor motor.
2 - Check the condition of the belt and shaft bearings
if applicable.
3 - Inspect all gas pipe and connections for leaks.
4 - Check the cleanliness of filters and change if
necessary (monthly).
5 - Check the condition and cleanliness of burners and
heat exchanger and clean if necessary.
6 - Check the cleanliness of blower assembly and
clean the housing, blower wheel and blower motor
if necessary . The blower motors are prelubricated
for extended bearing life. No further lubrication is
needed.
7 - Inspect the combustion air inducer and clean if
necessary.
8 - Evaluate the heat exchanger integrity by inspecting
the heat exchanger per the AHRI heat exchanger
inspection procedure. This procedure can be
viewed at www.ahrinet.org.
9 - Ensure sufficient combustion air is available to the
furnace. Fresh air grilles and louvers (on the unit
and in the room where the furnace is installed)
must be properly sized, open and unobstructed to
provide combustion air.
10 - Inspect the furnace venting system to make sure
it is in place, structurally sound, and without holes,
corrosion, or blockage. Vent system must be free
and clear of obstructions and must slope upward
away from the furnace . Vent system should be
installed per the National Fuel Gas Code
11 - Inspect the furnace return air duct connection to
ensure the duct is sealed to the furnace. Check for
air leaks on supply and return ducts and seal where
necessary.
12 - Check the condition of the furnace cabinet insulation
and repair if necessary.
13 - Perform a complete combustion analysis during the
furnace inspection to ensure proper combustion
and operation. Consult Service Literature for proper
combustion values.
14 - Verify operation of CO detectors and replace
batteries as required.
Perform a general system test. Turn on the furnace to
check operating functions such as the start-up and shut-
off operation.
1 - Check the operation of the ignition system, inspect
and clean flame sensor. Check microamps before
and after. Check controls and safety devices (gas
valve, flame sensor, temperature limits). Consult
Service Manual for proper operating range. Thermal
Limits should be checked by restricting airflow and
not disconnecting the indoor blower. For additional
details, please see Service and Application Note
H049.
2 - Verify that system total static pressure and airflow
settings are within specific operating parameters.
3 - See "RATE CHECK" section in this instruction to
ensure that the unit is operating at the specified
firing rate.
Annually inspect the intake debris screen. If necessary
remove and clean with a vacuum cleaner or wire brush.
