Setting Equipmet
WARNING
Do not install the furnace on its front or its back. Do
not connect the return air ducts 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.
The EL280UH(X)E gas furnace can be installed as shipped
in either the upflow position or the horizontal position.
Select a location that allows for the required clearances
that are listed on the unit nameplate. Also consider gas
supply connections, electrical supply, vent connection,
and installation and service clearances [24 inches (610
mm) at unit front]. The unit must be level.
Units with 1/2 and 3/4 hp blower motor are equipped
with three flexible legs and one rigid leg. The rigid leg
is equipped with a shipping bolt and a flat white plastic
washer (rather than the rubber mounting grommet used
with a flexible mounting leg). See figure 6. The bolt and
washer must be removed before the furnace is placed
into operation. After the bolt and washer have been re-
moved, the rigid leg will not touch the blower housing.
