 CAUTION
If this unit is being installed in a space serviced by an 
exhaust fan, power exhaust fan, or other device which 
may create a negative pressure in the space, take care 
when sizing the inlet air opening. The inlet air opening 
must be sized to accommodate the maximum volume 
of exhausted air as well as the maximum volume of 
combustion air required for all gas appliances serviced 
by this space.

 WARNING
Improper installation of the furnace can result in 
personal injury or death. Combustion and ue 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 plenum. 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. Allow 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 replace or stove, etc. Fire, explosion, 
carbon monoxide poisoning, personal injury and/or 
property damage could result.
 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.
Filters
This unit is not equipped with a lter or rack. A eld-pro-
vided high-velocity lter is required for the unit to operate 
properly. Table 1 lists recommended lter sizes.
 IMPORTANT
If a highefciency lter is being installed as part of this 
system to ensure better indoor air quality, the lter must 
be properly sized. Highefciency lters have a higher 
static pressure drop than standardefciency glass/foam 
lters. If the pressure drop is too great, system capacity 
and performance may be reduced. 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 lter with this system, check the 
specications provided by the lter manufacturer 
against the data given in the appropriate Lennox 
Product Specications bulletin. Additional information 
is provided in Service and Application Note ACC002 
(August 2000).
A lter must be in place any time the unit is operating.

Duct System
Use industry-approved standards (such as those pub-
lished by Air Conditioning Contractors of America or Amer-
ican Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Condition-
ing  Engineers)  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  0.5 inches 
w.c.  Higher  external  static  pressures  may  cause  erratic 
limit operation.
Supply Air Plenum
If the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, a remov-
able access panel must be installed in the supply air duct. 
The access panel should be large enough to permit in-
spection  (either  by  smoke  or  reected  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 operating and it must not allow leaks into the 
supply air duct system.
