Service Literature
EL196UHE series units are high-efficiency gas fur­
naces manufactured with Lennox DuralokPlust alumi­
nized steel clamshell-type heat exchangers, with a stainless
steel condensing coil. EL196UHE units are available in
heating input capacities of 30,000 to 110,000 Btuh and cool­
ing applications from 2 through 5 tons. Refer to Engineering
Handbook for proper sizing.
Units are factory equipped for use with natural gas. A kit is
available for conversion to LP/Propane operation. All
EL196UHE units are equipped with a hot surface ignition
system. The gas valve is redundant to assure safety
shut-off as required by C.S.A.
The heat exchanger, burners and manifold assembly can be
removed for inspection and service. The maintenance section
gives a detailed description on how this is done.
All specifications are subject to change. Procedures outlined
in this manual are presented as a recommendation only
and do not supersede or replace local or state codes.
WARNING
Electric shock hazard. Can cause injury
or death. Before attempting to perform
any service or maintenance, turn the
electrical power to unit OFF at discon­
nect switch(es). Unit may have multiple
power supplies.
