Safety Information
DANGER
Danger of explosion.
There are circumstances in which odorant used with
LP/propane gas can lose its scent. In case of a leak,
LP/propane gas will settle close to the floor and may
be difficult to smell. An LP/propane leak detector
should be installed in all LP applications.
WARNING
Improper installation,
service or maintenance can cause property damage,
personal injury or loss of life. Installation and service
must be performed by a licensed professional
installer (or equivalent), service agency or the gas

Certifications
EL280UH(X)E units are CSA International certified to
ANSI Z21.47.
In the USA, installation of gas furnaces must conform with
local building codes. In the absence of local codes, units
must be installed according to the current National Fuel
Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1). The National Fuel Gas Code is
available from the following address:
American National Standards Institute, Inc.
11 West 42nd Street
New York, NY 10036
Clearances
Adequate clearance must be made around the air open-
ings into the vestibule area. In order to ensure proper unit
operation, combustion and ventilation air supply must
be provided according to the current National Fuel Gas
Code. Vent installations must be consistent with the vent-
ing tables (in this instruction) and applicable provisions
of local building codes. This furnace is CSA International
certified for installation clearances to combustible material
as listed on the unit nameplate and in the tables in figures
7 and 11. Accessibility and service clearances must take
precedence over fire protection clearances.
NOTE - For installation on combustible floors, the furnace
shall not be installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other
combustible material other than wood flooring.
Installed Locations
For installation in a residential garage, the furnace must
be installed so that the burner(s) and the ignition source
are located no less than 18 inches (457 mm) above the
floor. The furnace must be located or protected to avoid
physical damage by vehicles. When a furnace is installed
in a public garage, hangar, or other building that has a
hazardous atmosphere, the furnace must be installed ac-
cording to recommended good practice requirements and
current National Fuel Gas Code.
Temperature Rise
NOTE - Furnace must be adjusted to obtain a tempera-
ture rise within the range specified on the unit nameplate.
Failure to do
so may cause erratic limit operation and may result in pre-
mature heat exchanger failure.
This EL280UHE furnace must be installed so that its elec-
trical components are protected from water.
