Revised 09/2017

EL180DFE series units are mid-efficiency gas furnaces

used for downflow applications only, manufactured with

Lennox Duralok

t

 heat exchangers formed of aluminized

steel. EL180DFE units are available in heating capacities

of 44,000 to 110,000 Btuh and cooling applications 1.5 to 5

tons. Refer to Engineering Handbook for proper sizing.

Units are factory equipped for use with natural gas. Kits are

available for conversion to LP/Propane operation.

EL180DFE model units are equipped with a hot surface igni­

tion system and a constant torque ECM motor. The motor is

programmed to provide constant torque at each of the five

selectable speed taps. All units use a redundant gas valve to

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

All specifications in this manual are subject to change. Pro­

cedures outlined in this manual are presented as a recom­

mendation only and do not supersede or replace local or

state codes.  In the absence of local or state codes, the

guidelines and procedures outlined in this manual (except

where noted) are recommended only and do not constitute

code.

WARNING

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause property damage, person­
al injury or loss of life. Installation and service must
be performed by a licensed professional HVAC in­
staller (or equivalent), service agency or the gas sup­
plier.

WARNING

Electric shock hazard. Can cause injury
or death. Before attempting to perform
any service or maintenance, turn the
electrical power to unit OFF at discon­
nect switch(es). Unit may have multiple
power supplies.

WARNING

Fire Hazard. Use of aluminum wire with this
product may result in a fire, causing property dam­
age, severe injury or death. Use copper wire only
with this product.

CAUTION

Failure to use properly sized wiring and circuit
breaker may result in property damage. Size wiring
and circuit breaker(s) per Product Specifications
bulletin (EHB) and unit rating plate.

CAUTION

As with any mechanical equipment, contact with
sharp sheet metal edges can result in personal in­
jury. Take care while handling this equipment and
wear gloves and protective clothing.
