Setting Equipment
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 a󰀨ect the operation of the safety
control devices, which could result in personal injury or
death.
The EL180UHNE gas furnace can be installed as shipped
in either the upow 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.
NOTE - Units with 1/2 or 3/4 hp blower motors are equipped
with three exible legs and one rigid leg. See FIGURE
6. The rigid leg is equipped with a shipping bolt and a
at white plastic washer (rather than the rubber mounting
grommet used with a exible mounting leg). 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.
