Unit Start−Up

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING

WARNING

Do not use this furnace if any part has been underwa- ter. Immediately call a licensed professional service technician (or equivalent) to inspect the furnace and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

WARNING

If overheating occurs or if gas supply fails to shut off, shut off the manual gas valve to the appliance before shutting off electrical supply.

CAUTION

Before attempting to perform any service or mainte- nance, turn the electrical power to unit OFF at dis- connect switch.

WARNING

During blower operation, the ECM motor emits ener- gy that may interfere with pacemaker operation. In- terference is reduced by both the sheet metal cabinet and distance.

BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.

The gas valve on the SL280DFV unit will be equipped with either a gas control switch. Use only your hand to move the control switch. Never use tools. If the switch will not turn or if the switch will not move by hand, do not try to repair it. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

Placing the furnace into operation:

SL280DFV units are equipped with an automatic ignition system. Do not attempt to manually light burners on these furnaces. 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 an automatic ignition system.

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 26 and 27)

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 access panel.

6 − Move switch on gas valve to OFF. Do not force. See figure 26 or 27.

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.

DAVE LENNOX SIGNATURE COLLECTION GAS FURNACE, SL280DFV specifications

Lennox International Inc has made a significant mark in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry, known for its commitment to innovation and energy efficiency. One of its standout products is the SL280DFV model, a high-efficiency gas furnace designed to meet the needs of modern homes.

The SL280DFV boasts an impressive Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating of up to 80%. This rating indicates that the furnace converts 80% of the fuel it consumes into usable heat, making it a cost-effective choice for homeowners. The high efficiency not only reduces energy bills but also lessens the environmental impact by minimizing greenhouse gas emissions.

One of the key features of the SL280DFV is its two-stage gas valve operation. This technology allows the furnace to operate at two levels of heating output: low stage for milder days and high stage for extremely cold temperatures. This adaptability enhances comfort by maintaining more consistent indoor temperatures while also saving energy when full power is unnecessary.

Another innovative aspect of the SL280DFV is its variable-speed blower motor. This smart technology enables the furnace to adjust airflow based on the heating needs of a home, which promotes quiet operation and improved temperature consistency throughout living spaces.

The SL280DFV is equipped with a durable heat exchanger that is designed to withstand the rigors of daily use, contributing to the unit’s longevity. Additionally, the furnace features a smart ignition system that ensures reliable start-ups, so homeowners can depend on it through the coldest winter nights.

Safety is also a priority in the design of the SL280DFV. It includes various safety features such as a built-in flame sensor and advanced venting system, designed to avert hazardous situations and ensure optimal operation.

Furthermore, Lennox offers convenient installation and maintenance support, making the SL280DFV not only an efficient heating solution but also a practical choice for homeowners. With its blend of advanced technology, high efficiency, and reliability, the Lennox SL280DFV is an appealing option for those looking to upgrade their home’s heating system, promising comfort and peace of mind for many winters to come.
