•
Air filters must be replaced upon construction com-
pletion.
•
The input rate and temperature rise must be set per
the furnace rating plate.
•
One hundred percent (100%) outdoor air must be
provided for combustion air requirements during
construction. Temporary ducting may supply out-
door air to the furnace. Do not connect duct directly
to the furnace. Size the temporary duct following
these instructions in section for Combustion, Dilu-
tion and Ventilation Air in a confined space with air
from outside.
•
The furnace heat exchanger, components, duct
system, air filters and evaporator coils must be
thoroughly cleaned following final construction
clean-up.
•
All furnace operating conditions (including ignition,
input rate, temperature rise and venting) must be
verified according to these installation instructions.
General
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do
not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities
having jurisdiction before installation.
In addition to the requirements outlined previously, the
following general recommendations must be considered
when installing a EL195UHNE furnace:
•
Place the furnace as close to the center of the air
distribution system as possible. The furnace should
also be located close to the vent termination point.
•
When the furnace is installed in non-direct vent ap-
plications, do not install the furnace where drafts
might blow directly into it. This could cause improp-
er combustion and unsafe operation.
•
When the furnace is installed in non-direct vent ap-
plications, do not block the furnace combustion air
opening with clothing, boxes, doors, etc. Air is need-
ed for proper combustion and safe unit operation.
•
When the furnace is installed in an attic or other
insulated space, keep insulation away from the fur-
nace.
•
When the furnace is installed in an unconditioned
space, consider provisions required to prevent
freezing of condensate drain system.
•
Please consult the manufacturer of your evaporator
coil for their recommendations on distance required
between the heat exchanger and their drain pan.
Adequate space must be provided between the
drain pan and the furnace heat exchanger.
CAUTION
EL195UHNE unit should not be installed in areas
normally subject to freezing temperatures.
Insufficient combustion air can cause headaches,
nausea, dizziness or asphyxiation. It will also cause
excess water in the heat exchanger resulting in rusting
and premature heat exchanger failure. Excessive
exposure to contaminated combustion air will result
in safety and performance related problems. Avoid
exposure to the following substances in the combustion
air supply:
Permanent wave solutions
Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
Chlorine base swimming pool chemicals
Water softening chemicals
De-icing salts or chemicals
Carbon tetrachloride
Halogen type refrigerants
Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene)
Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
Hydrochloric acid
Cements and glues
Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
Masonry acid washing materials
Combustion, Dilution & Ventilation Air
If the EL195UHNE is installed as a Non-Direct Vent
Furnace, follow the guidelines in this section.
NOTE - In Non-Direct Vent installations, combustion air is
taken from indoors or ventilated attic or crawlspace and
flue gases are discharged out-doors.
In the past, there was no problem in bringing in sufficient
outdoor air for combustion. Infiltration provided all the air
that was needed. In today's homes, tight construction
practices make it necessary to bring in air from outside for
combustion. Take into account that exhaust fans, appli-
ance vents, chimneys, and fireplaces force additional air
that could be used for combustion out of the house.
Unless outside air is brought into the house for combus-
tion, negative pressure (outside pressure is greater than
inside pressure) will build to the point that a downdraft
can occur in the furnace vent pipe or chimney. As a result,
combustion gases enter the living space creating a poten-
tially dangerous situation.
In the absence of local codes concerning air for combus-
tion and ventilation, use the guidelines and procedures
in this section to install EL195UHNE furnaces to ensure
efficient and safe operation. You must consider combus-
tion air needs and requirements for exhaust vents and gas
piping. A portion of this information has been reprinted

Z223.1/NFPA 54). This reprinted material is not the com-
