Shipping Bolt Removal
Units with 1/2 hp blower motor are equipped with three 
exible legs  and one  rigid leg. 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). See Figure 10. 
The bolt and washer must be removed before the furnace 
is placed into operation. After the bolt and washer have 
been removed, the rigid leg will not touch the blower hous-
ing.

Installation - Setting Equipment
 WARNING
Do not connect the return air duct to the back of the 
furnace. Doing so will adversely affect the operation of 
the safety control devices, which could result in personal 
injury or death.
 WARNING
Blower access panel must be securely in place when 
blower and burners are operating. Gas fumes, which 
could contain carbon monoxide, can be drawn into living 
space resulting in personal injury or death.
Upow Applications
The EL296UHV gas furnace can be installed as shipped 
in the upow position. Refer to Figure 12 for clearances. 
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, 
condensate trap and drain connections, and installation 
and service clearances [24 inches (610 mm) at unit front]. 
The unit must be level from side to side. The unit may be 
positioned from  level  to ½”  toward the  front.  See Figure 
11.
Allow for clearances to combustible materials as indicated 
on the unit nameplate.
