Proper Combustion

Furnace should operate minimum 15 minutes with correct
manifold pressure and gas flow rate before checking com-
bustion. Table 12 shows acceptable combustion for ALL
EL280DF models. The maximum carbon monoxide
reading should not exceed 50 ppm

High Altitude

The manifold pressure may require adjustment and com-
bustion air pressure switch may need replacing to ensure
proper combustion at higher altitudes. Refer to table 13 for
manifold pressure and table 14 for pressure switch change
and gas conversion kits.
For safety, shut unit off and remove manometer as
soon as an accurate reading has been obtained.
Take care to replace pressure tap plug.
