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.
3 - Inspect condition of condensate traps and drain as­
sembly. Disassemble and clean seasonally.
B-Heating Start‐Up
BEFORE LIGHTING the unit, smell all around the furnace
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 EL296UHE is equipped with a gas
control switch. Use only your hand to move the switch. Nev­
er use tools. If the the switch will not move by hand, replace
the valve. Do not try to repair it. Force or attempted repair
may result in a fire or explosion.
Placing the furnace into operation:
EL296UHE units are equipped with a SureLight
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 ignition sys­
tem.

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:
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
stop. At this point, the trap should be primed with suffi­
cient water to ensure proper condensate drain opera­
tion.
WARNING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire
or explosion may result causing property damage,
personal injury or death.
