Proper Combustion
Furnace should operate minimum 15 minutes with correct 
manifold pressure and gas ow rate before checking com-
bustion. Table 10 shows acceptable combustion for ALL 
EL280UH models. The maximum carbon monoxide 
reading should not exceed 100 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 11 
for manifold pressure and table 12 for pressure switch 
change and gas conversion kits.
