Lenox Gas Furnace Furnace User Manual


 
Page 4
Your furnace is a gas appliance. It is critical that the gas
supplied to the unit be completely burned to avoid the pro-
duction of carbon monoxide gas. Complete combustion of
the gas requires, but is not limited to, correct gas pressure
and gas flow rate, adequate combustion, air, and proper
venting.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide gas is invisible, odorless and
toxic.
Exposure to carbon monoxide gas can cause personal inju-
ry and even death to all occupants, including pets. Any item
that is powered by or gives off heat from a combustion pro-
cess (including lawn mowers, automobiles, and fireplaces)
has the potential to produce carbon monoxide gas. Because
of this, Lennox recommends the use of a carbon monox-
ide detector in your home, even if you do not own gas
appliances. Reliable detectors are available at reasonable
retail prices. Contact your Lennox dealer for more details
about this investment in your safety.
Your furnace is designed to meet standards set by nation-
al agencies, and to operate safely when properly installed
and maintained. However, the unit’s performance can be
greatly impacted by the individual installation and the op-
erating environment. It is your responsibility to ensure that
this appliance is maintained. Proper maintenance is criti-
cal for your safety and the satisfactory operation of the
product. Lennox strongly recommends annual in-
spection and maintenance of this appliance. Contact
your Lennox dealer for an inspection by a licensed profes-
sional service technician (or equivalent).
DANGER
Danger of explosion.
There are circumstances in which odorant used with
LP/propane gas can lose its scent. In case of a leak,
LP/propane gas will settle close to the floor and may
be difficult to smell. An LP/propane leak detector
should be installed in all LP applications.
Do not attempt to bleed the gas lines of air. Call your
local gas provider.
Start−Up & Operation Information
WARNING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire
or explosion may result causing property damage,
personal injury or death.
BEFORE PLACING THE UNIT INTO OPERATION, smell
all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next
to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will
settle on the floor.
The gas valve on the EL195UH will be equipped with a
gas control switch. Use only your hand to move the
switch. Never use tools. If the switch will not move by
hand, do not try to repair it. Call a licensed professional
service technician (or equivalent). Force or attempted re-
pair may result in a fire or explosion.
Placing the EL195UH furnace into operation:
EL195UH units are equipped with an ignition system. Do
not attempt to manually light burners on this furnace.
Each time the thermostat calls for heat, the burners will
automatically light. The ignitor does not get hot when
there is no call for heat on units with this ignition system.

1 − STOP! Read the safety information at the beginning of
this section.

tions. If you do not smell gas go to next step.
