WARNING  
WARNING  
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service  
or maintenance can cause property damage, person-  
al injury or loss of life. Installation and service must  
be performed by a licensed professional installer (or  
equivalent), a service agency, or the gas supplier.  
Product contains fiberglass wool.  
Disturbing the insulation in this product during  
installation, maintenance, or repair will expose you  
to fiberglass wool. Breathing this may cause lung  
cancer. (Fiberglass wool is known to the State of Cal-  
ifornia to cause cancer.)  
Fiberglass wool may also cause respiratory, skin,  
and eye irritation.  
Safety Instructions  
1 − Keep the furnace area clear and free of combustible  
material, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and  
liquids. If it is installed in an insulated area, the furnace  
must be kept free of insulating material. Insulating ma-  
terial may be combustible.  
To reduce exposure to this substance or for further  
information, consult material safety data sheets  
available from address shown below, or contact your  
supervisor.

2 − After any heavy snow, ice or frozen fog event, the fur-  
nace vent pipes may become restricted. Always check  
the vent system and remove any snow or ice that may  
be obstructing the intake or exhaust plastic pipes.  
CAUTION  
3 − DO NOT obstruct air flow to unit. Unit must receive an  
unobstructed flow of combustion and ventilating air.  
DO NOT block or obstruct air openings on the furnace  
or air openings to the area in which the furnace is  
installed. Take care to maintain established clear-  
ances surrounding the furnace.  
Do not set thermostat below 60°F (16°C) in heating  
mode. Setting thermostat below 60°F (16°C) reduces  
the number of heating cycles. Damage to the unit  
may occur that is not covered by the warranty.  
4 − DO NOT store chlorine or fluorine products near unit  
or introduce these products into the combustion air.  
These products can cause furnace corrosion.  
WARNING  
5 − DO NOT draw return air from a room where this fur-  
nace, or any other gas appliance (ie., a water heat-  
er), is installed. When return air is drawn from a room,  
a negative pressure is created in the room. If a gas ap-  
pliance is operating in a room with negative pressure,  
the flue products can be pulled back down the vent  
pipe and into the room. This reverse flow of the flue  
gas may result in incomplete combustion and the  
formation of carbon monoxide gas. This toxic gas  
might then be distributed throughout the house by the  
furnace duct system.  
If overheating occurs or if gas supply fails to shut off,  
shut off the manual gas valve to the furnace before  
shutting off electrical supply.  
WARNING  
Do not use this furnace if any part has been underwa-  
ter. A flood−damaged furnace is extremely danger-  
ous. Attempts to use the furnace can result in fire or  
explosion. Immediately call a licensed professional  
service technician (or equivalent) to inspect the fur-  
nace and to replace all gas controls, control system  
parts, and electrical parts that have been wet or to re-  
place the furnace, if deemed necessary.  
WARNING  
The blower door must be securely in place when the  
blower and burners are operating. Gas fumes, which  
could contain carbon monoxide, can be drawn into  
the living space resulting in personal injury or death.  
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.  
NOTICE  
Any additions, changes, or conversions required in  
order for the appliance to satisfactorily meet the ap-  
plication needs must be made by a licensed profes-  
sional installer (or equivalent) using factory−speci-  
fied and approved parts.

The gas valve on the SLP98UH is equipped with a gas con-  
trol switch. Use only your hand to move the control switch.  
Never use tools. If the switch will not move by hand, do not  
try to repair it. Call a licensed professional service techni-  
cian (or equivalent). Force or attempted repair may result in  
a fire or explosion.  
WARNING  
Carbon monoxide gas is invisible, odorless and tox-  
ic.  
Exposure to carbon monoxide gas can cause personal in-  
jury and even death to all occupants, including pets. Any  
item that is powered by or gives off heat from a combustion  
process (including lawn mowers, automobiles, and fire-  
places) has the potential to produce carbon monoxide gas.  
Because of this, Lennox recommends the use of a car-  
bon monoxide 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.  
Placing the SGLP9UH furnace into operation:  
®
SLP98UH070 units are equipped with a SureLight ignition  
system. Do not attempt to manually light burners on this  
furnace. Each time the thermostat calls for heat, the burn-  
ers will automatically light. The ignitor does not get hot  
®
when there is no call for heat on units with SureLight igni-  
tion system.  
1 − STOP! Read the safety information at the beginning of  
this section.  
Your furnace is designed to meet standards set by national  
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 oper-  
ating environment. It is your responsibility to ensure that  
this appliance is maintained.  
2 − Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.  
3 − Turn off all electrical power to the unit.  
4 − This furnace is equipped with an ignition device which  
automatically lights the burners. Do not try to light the  
burners by hand.  
5 − Remove the outer access panel.  
Proper maintenance is critical for your safety and the satis-  
factory operation of the product. Lennox strongly recom-  
mends annual inspection and maintenance of this ap-  
pliance. Contact your Lennox dealer for an inspection by a  
licensed professional service technician.  
6 − Move the gas valve switch to the OFF position. See fig-  
7 − Wait five minutes to clear out any gas. If you then smell  
gas, STOP! Immediately call your gas supplier from a  
neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instruc-  
tions. If you do not smell gas go to next step.  
DANGER  
Danger of explosion.  
VARIABLE CAPACITY GAS VALVE  
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.

The drain and trap must also be cleaned and the trap must  
be filled with water.  
A licensed professional service technician (or equivalent)  
should inspect the complete system each season (heating  
and cooling). The following maintenance procedures  
should only be conducted by a licensed professional ser-  
vice technician (or equivalent). Do not attempt to service  
the unit in any way.  
During a seasonal check the service technician will con-  
duct a combustion analysis. The technician will also in-  
spect the indoor blower, burner flames, electrical connec-  
tions and the venting system.  
Blower  
WARNING  
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE,  
OR EXPLOSION HAZARD.  
Check the blower wheel for debris and clean if necessary.  
The blower motors are prelubricated for extended bearing  
life. No further lubrication is needed.  
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result  
in dangerous operation, serious injury, death or  
property damage.  
Improper servicing could result in dangerous opera-  
tion, serious injury, death, or property damage.  
Before servicing, disconnect all electrical power to  
furnace.  
When servicing controls, label all wires prior to dis-  
connecting. Take care to reconnect wires correctly.  
Verify proper operation after servicing.  
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 inju-  
ry or death.

Burner Flame  
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.  
CAUTION  
To ensure proper operation, a licensed professional  
service technician (or equivalent) should check the  
burner flame and conduct a combustion analysis  
annually.  
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 licensed professional service  
technician (or equivalent) as an investment in your well be-  
ing.  
Electrical  
1 − Check all wiring for loose connections.  
2 − Check for the correct voltage at the furnace (furnace  
operating).  
3 − Check amp−draw on the blower motor.

Planned Service  
You should expect a service technician to check the follow-  
ing items during an annual inspection. Power to the unit  
must be shut off for the service technician’s safety.  
Service Reminder  
Call your Lennox service technician if the unit will not oper-  
ate. Before calling, always check the following to be sure  
service is required:  
Fresh air grilles and louvers (on the unit and in the room  
where the furnace is installed) − Must be open and unob-  
structed to provide combustion air.  
1 − Check that electrical disconnect switches are ON.  
2 − Check room thermostat for proper setting.  
3 − Replace any blown fuses or reset circuit breakers.  
4 − Gas valve should be ON.  
Burners − Must be inspected for rust, dirt, or signs of water.  
5 − Air filter should not be plugged, which will limit air flow.  
6 − Is gas turned on at meter?  
Vent pipe − Must be inspected for signs of water, damaged  
or sagging pipe, or disconnected joints.  
7 − Is manual main shut−off valve open?  
Record the model and serial number of the furnace. These  
numbers are on the unit nameplate, which is located on the  
blower deck below the combustion air inducer.  
Unit appearance − Must be inspected for rust, dirt, signs  
of water, burnt or damaged wires, or components.

lent).  
an air seal to the unit.  
Operating performance − Unit must be observed during  
operation to monitor proper performance of the unit and the  
vent system.  
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.  
Combustion gases − Flue products must be analyzed and  
compared to the unit specifications.  
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.  
Problems detected during the inspection may make it nec-  
essary to temporarily shut down the furnace until the items  
can be repaired or replaced.  
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.  
Pay attention to your furnace. Situations can arise be-  
tween annual furnace inspections that may result in unsafe  
operation.
