III−START-UP

A−Preliminary and Seasonal Checks

1 − Inspect electrical wiring, both field and factory installed for loose connections. Tighten as required.

2 − Check voltage at disconnect switch. Voltage must be within range listed on the nameplate. If not, consult the power company and have voltage condition corrected before starting unit.

B−Heating Start-Up

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING

WARNING

Shock and burn hazard.

G61MP units are equipped with a hot surface igni- tion system. Do not attempt to light manually.

BEFORE LIGHTING the unit, smell all around the fur- nace area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor be- cause some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.

The gas valve on the G61MP may be equipped with ei- ther a gas control knob or gas control lever. Use only your hand to push the lever or turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the the lever will not move or the knob will not push in or turn by hand, do not try to repair it. Force or at- tempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

Placing the furnace into operation:

G61MP 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 burners will automatically light. The ignitor does not get hot when there is no call for heat on units with SureLight® ignition system.

Priming Condensate Trap

The condensate trap should be primed with water prior to start−up to ensure proper condensate drainage. Either pour 10 fl. oz. (300 ml) of water into the trap, or follow these steps to prime the trap:

WARNING

If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death.

Gas Valve Operation (Figures 35 and 36)

1 −

STOP! Read the safety information at the beginning of

 

this section.

 

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 upper access panel.

6 −

valve.

 

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.

1 − Follow the lighting instructions to place the unit into op- eration.

2 − Set the thermostat to initiate a heating demand.

3 − Allow the burners to fire for approximately 3 minutes. 4 − Adjust the thermostat to deactivate the heating de-

mand.

5 − Wait for the combustion air inducer to stop. Set the thermostat to initiate a heating demand and again al- low the burners to fire for approximately 3 minutes.

6 − Adjust the thermostat to deactivate the heating de- mand and again wait for the combustion air inducer to

G61MP specifications

Lennox International Inc. has long been a leader in HVAC solutions, and the G61MP gas furnace exemplifies the company's commitment to innovation and energy efficiency. This high-efficiency gas furnace operates with an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) of up to 96%, allowing homeowners to save significantly on energy costs while maintaining a comfortable indoor environment.

One of the primary features of the G61MP is its modulating gas valve. This technology enables the furnace to operate at multiple levels of heating output, ensuring that it can adjust its performance according to the home’s heating demands. By modulating the heating output, the G61MP maximizes efficiency and minimizes energy waste, providing a consistent temperature and improved comfort.

The G61MP also incorporates advanced two-stage heating, which enhances its performance by reducing temperature fluctuations in the home. This feature is especially beneficial during transitional weather periods when heating needs may vary widely. With its ability to operate on a lower stage most of the time, the furnace can produce quieter operation and reduced energy consumption.

In terms of design, the G61MP includes a sealed combustion chamber that draws air from outside the home for combustion, enhancing safety and efficiency. This design feature eliminates the need for indoor air, improving indoor air quality. The furnace is also equipped with a high-efficiency ECM blower motor that not only boosts comfort but operates quietly and uses less electricity compared to traditional motors.

Further enhancing its efficiency, the G61MP utilizes a variable-speed blower, which allows for precise control of airflow throughout the home. This results in better humidity control and improved air distribution, providing an overall more comfortable environment.

The Lennox G61MP is compatible with the iComfort S30 smart thermostat, allowing homeowners to control their heating remotely, adjust settings based on their schedules, and access energy usage data. This connectivity transforms the G61MP into an integral part of a smart home ecosystem, facilitating energy conservation and comfort optimization.

Lastly, the G61MP is designed with durability in mind. Its robust construction and high-quality materials ensure reliable performance and lengthy service life. Homeowners can feel assured that they are investing in a heating solution that will meet their needs for many winters to come. In summary, the Lennox G61MP gas furnace stands out with its high efficiency, advanced technology, and user-friendly features, making it a top choice for homeowners seeking exceptional heating performance.
