EL296UHV Gas Furnace

The EL296UHV Category IV gas furnace is shipped ready
for installation in the upflow or horizontal position. The fur­
nace is shipped with the bottom panel in place. The bottom
panel must be removed if the unit is to be installed in hori­
zontal or upflow applications with bottom return air.
The EL296UHV can be installed as either a Direct Vent
or a Non-Direct Vent gas central furnace.
The furnace is equipped for installation in natural gas ap­
plications. A conversion kit (ordered separately) is required
for use in propane/LP gas applications.

from outdoors and flue gases are discharged outdoors. In
Non-Direct Vent installations, combustion air is taken from
indoors or ventilated attic or crawlspace and flue gases are
discharged outdoors. See figures 1 and 2 for applications

Safety Information

CAUTION

As with any mechanical equipment, personal injury

can result from contact with sharp sheet metal

edges. Be careful when you handle this equipment.

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.
Use only the type of gas approved for use with this furnace.
Refer to unit nameplate.
EL296UHV units are CSA International certified to ANSI
Z21.47 and CSA 2.3 standards.
