Safety Precautions
If you discover any of the following, shut down your
unit, and contact a Lennox dealer for an inspection by
a licensed professional service technician (or equiva
lent).
D
If you repeatedly hear any new or unfamiliar sounds
while your unit is operating, there may be a problem. For
example, poorly performing burners can produce unfa
miliar noises.
D
If you smell any unusual odors, your unit may be operat
ing improperly. For example, units can give off unfamil
iar odors if components are required to operate in ab
normal conditions.
D
Look for visible signs of a malfunctioning unit. Examples
include unusual amounts of condensate on windows in
side your house, visibly burnt components or unusual
dirt or rust accumulations on the vent pipe or in the unit.
D
If you experience headache, nausea, fatigue, or dizzi
ness, the cause could be exposure to carbon monoxide
gas. This is often misdiagnosed as the flu because
symptoms are similar. If you suffer from flu-like symp
toms that are exaggerated at home, but seem to sub
side while you are away from the house, exposure to
carbon monoxide could be the cause.
WARNING
Do not use this furnace if any part has been under
water. A flood-damaged furnace is extremely dan
gerous. Attempts to use the furnace can result in
fire or explosion. Immediately call a licensed pro
fessional service technician (or equivalent) to in
spect the furnace and to replace all gas controls,
control system parts, and electrical parts that have
been wet or to replace the furnace, if deemed neces
sary.
Your vigilance may pay off in early detection of a problem
before either personal injury or property damage occurs.
Do not hesitate to contact a qualified service technician as
an investment in your well being.
Planned Service
Pay attention to your furnace.
Situations can arise be
tween annual furnace inspections that may result in unsafe
operation. For instance, items innocently stored next to the
furnace may obstruct the combustion air supply. This could
cause incomplete combustion and the production of car
bon monoxide gas.
