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 fur- nace. Doing so will adversely affect the operation of the safety control devices, which could result in per- sonal injury or death.
The EL280UH gas furnace can be installed as shipped in either the upflow 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 hp blower motors are equipped with three flexible legs and one rigid leg. See figure 7. The rigid leg is equipped with a shipping bolt and a flat white plastic washer (rather than the rubber mounting grommet used with a flexible mounting leg). The bolt and washer must be removed before the furnace is placed into opera- tion. After the bolt and washer have been removed, the rig- id leg will not touch the blower housing.
