1.1  Models Covered by this Manual 

This manual covers current models EF and AF. Please note that changes were made to the range 
from late 2001; these changes affect both the case and the internal design. Models made after the 
change are suffixed with the letter B on the rating label. 

If a manual for the earlier design is 

required, please contact Lenton. 

Model EF 11/8B may be set to operate on any voltage in the range 200-240V  (or 100-120V to 
order) by correct setting of the power limit parameter in the controller. For model AF 11/6B the 
equivalent range is 220-240V. 

Because of the model changes it is very important when ordering spares to state the furnace serial 
number or otherwise to identify the model correctly.
