WARNING

Do not install the furnace on its front or its back. Do- ing so will adversely affect the operation of the safety control devices, which could result in personal inju- ry or death.

The Lennox G24−200 upflow gas furnace can be installed with rear or bottom return air. If unit is installed on a platform with bottom return air, furnace/filter box must be sealed airtight at the platform to ensure proper and safe operation.

Select a location that allows for required clearances listed on unit rating plate. Also consider gas supply connections, electrical supply, vent connection, installation and service clearances [24 inches (610mm) at unit front] and filter ac- cessibility.

The furnace must be leveled using shims or leveling bolts (field provided). The corner gussets provided in the furnace base will accept leveling bolts.
