Do not connect the return air duct to the back of the
furnace. Doing so will adversely affect the operation
of the safety control devices, which could result in
personal injury or death.
Blower access panel must be securely in place when
blower and burners are operating. Gas fumes, which
could contain carbon monoxide, can be drawn into
living space resulting in personal injury or death.
The EL296UHE gas furnace can be installed as shipped in
the upflow position. Refer to figure 12 for clearances. Se­
lect a location that allows for the required clearances that
are listed on the unit nameplate. Also consider gas supply
connections, electrical supply, vent connection, conden­
sate trap and drain connections, and installation and ser­
vice clearances [24 inches (610 mm) at unit front]. The unit
must be level from side to side. The unit may be positioned
from level to ½" toward the front. See figure 11.
Allow for clearances to combustible materials as indicated
