supplier.

 CAUTION

As with any mechanical equipment, contact with 

sharp sheet metal edges can result in personal 

injury. Take care while handling this equipment and 

wear gloves and protective clothing.

EL296UHE  series  units  are  high  efficiency  condensing 

gas  furnaces  used  for  upflow  or  horizontal  applications 

only, manufactured with Lennox Duralok heat exchangers 

formed of aluminized steel. EL296UHE units are available 

in heating capacities of 44,000 to 132,000 Btuh and cool

-

ing applications up to 5 tons. Refer to Product Specifica

-

tions Manual for proper sizing.
Units are factory equipped for use with natural gas. Kits 

are available for conversion to LPG operation. EL296UHE 

model units are equipped with the SureLight® two-stage 

integrated  control.  EL296UHE  unit  meets  the  California 

Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) Standards and California Season

-

al Efficiency requirements. All units use a redundant gas 

valve to assure safety shut-off as required by C.S.A.
