I-UNIT COMPONENTS
EL296DFV(X) unit components are shown in figure 1. The
gas valve, combustion air inducer and burners can be ac
cessed by removing the access panel. Electrical compo
nents are in the control box (figure 2) found in the blower
section.
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge can affect elec
tronic components. Take precautions
to neutralize electrostatic charge by
touching your hand and tools to metal
prior to handling the control.
A- Control Box
1. Control Transformer (T1)
A transformer located in the control box provides power to
the low voltage section of the unit. Transformers on all
models are rated 40VA with a 120V primary and a 24V sec
ondary.
2. Door Interlock Switch (S51)
A door interlock switch rated 14A at 125VAC is wired in se
ries with line voltage. When the inner blower access panel
is removed the unit will shut down.

3. Circuit Breaker (CB8)
A 24V circuit breaker is also located in the control box.
The switch provides overcurrent protection to the trans
former (T1). The breaker is rated 3A at 32V. If the current
exceeds this limit the breaker will trip and all unit opera
tion will shutdown. The breaker can be manually reset
by pressing the button on the face. See figure 3.

WARNING
Shock hazard.
Disconnect power before servicing. Integrated
control is not field repairable. If control is inoper
able, simply replace entire control.
Can cause injury or death. Unsafe operation will re
sult if repair is attempted.
4. Integrated Control (A92)
Units are equipped with the icomfort
two-stage, variable speed integrated control. This control
is used with the icomfort Touch® thermostat as part of a
communicating comfort system. The control can also oper
ate with a non-communicating conventional single or twostage thermostat. The system consists of a ignition / blow
er control (figures 4 and 5) with control pin designations in
tables 1, 2 and 3 and ignitor (figure 13). The control and
ignitor work in combination to ensure furnace ignition and
ignitor durability. The control provides gas ignition, safety
checks and indoor blower control with two-stage gas heat
ing. The furnace combustion air inducer, gas valve and in
door blower are controlled in response to various system
inputs such as thermostat signal, pressure and limit switch
signal and flame signal. The control features a seven-seg
ment LED display, indicating furnace status (including in
door blower) and error codes. The LED flashes in single
digits. For example using table 5 under LIMIT CODE, an
“E” followed by “2” followed by “5” followed by “0”, the limit
switch circuit is open. The control also has two unpowered
(dry) 1/4” contacts for a humidifier and a 120 volt accessory
terminal. Both rated at (1) one amp each.
Electronic Ignition
At the beginning of the heat cycle the integrated control
monitors the first stage and second stage combustion air
inducer prove switch. The control will not begin the heating
cycle if the first stage prove switch is closed (by-passed).
Likewise the integrated control will not begin the second
stage heating cycle if the second stage prove switch is
closed, and will remain in first stage heat. However, if the
second stage prove switch closes during the first stage
heat pre-purge, the control will allow second stage heat.
Once the first stage prove switch is determined to be open,
the combustion air inducer is energized on low (first stage)
heat speed. When the differential in the prove switch is
great enough, the prove switch closes and a 15-second
pre-purge begins.
NOTE - During abnormal conditions such as low supply
voltage or low outdoor temperatures and the low fire pres
sure switch does not close, the combustion air inducer will
switch to high fire. After a 15 second pre-purge the high fire
pressure switch will close and the unit will begin operation
on high fire. After 10 to 20 seconds of high fire operation the
unit will switch to low fire
After the 15-second pre-purge period, the SureLight ignitor
warms up for 20 seconds after which the gas valve opens
for a 4-second trial for ignition. The ignitor remains ener
gized during the trial until flame is sensed. If ignition is not

proved during the 4-second period, the control will try four
more times with an inter purge and warm-up time between
trials of 35 seconds. After a total of five trials for ignition (in
cluding the initial trial), the control goes into WatchguardFlame Failure mode. After a 60-minute reset period, the
control will begin the ignition sequence again.
Two Stage Operation / Thermostat Selection DIP
Switch
The control can be utilized in two modes: SINGLE-STAGE
thermostat or TWO-STAGE thermostat. The thermostat
selection is made using a DIP switch and must be posi
tioned for the particular application. DIP switch 1, labeled
T”STAT HEAT STAGE is factory-set in the OFF position for
use with a two-stage thermostat. Move the DIP switch to
ON for use with a single stage thermostat.
While in the single-stage thermostat mode, the burners will
always fire on first-stage heat. The combustion air inducer
will operate on low speed and indoor blower will operate on
low heat speed. The unit will switch to second stage heat
after a "recognition period". DIP switch 2, labeled SECOND
STAGE DELAY, is factory set in the OFF position for a 7
minute recognition period. The switch can be moved to the
ON position for a 12 minute recognition period, after which
time the unit will switch to secondstage heat. While in the
two-stage thermostat mode, the burners will fire on firststage heat. The combustion air inducer will operate on low
speed and indoor blower will operate on low heat speed.
The unit will switch to second-stage heat on call from the
indoor thermostat. If there is a simultaneous call for first
and second stage heat, the unit will fire an first stage heat
and switch to second stage heat after 30 seconds of opera
tion. See Sequence of Operation flow charts in the back of
this manual for more detail.

DIP Switch Settings
NOTE - All icomfortt settings are set at the icomfort Wi-Fi
thermostat. See icomfortt installation instruction. In icom
fortt communication system all DIP switch and clippable
link settings are ignored. For conventional thermostats pro
ceed with DIP switch and clippable link settings as outlined
in the following.
Heating Operation DIP Switch Settings
Switch 1 -- Thermostat Selection -- This unit may be
used with either a single-stage or two-stage thermostat.
The thermostat selection is made using a DIP switch which
must be properly positioned for the particular application.
The DIP switch is factory-positioned for use with a twostage thermostat. If a single-stage thermostat is to be used,
the DIP switch must be repositioned.
Select “OFF” for two-stage heating operation con
trolled by a two-stage heating thermostat (factory set
ting);
b - Select “ON” for two-stage heating operation con
trolled by a single-stage heating thermostat. This set
ting provides a timed delay before second-stage heat
is initiated.
Switch 2 -- Second Stage Delay (Used with SingleStage Thermostat Only) -- This switch is used to deter
mine the second stage on delay when a single-stage ther
mostat is being used. The switch is factory-set in the OFF
position, which provides a 7-minute delay before secondstage heat is initiated. If the switch is toggled to the ON
position, it will provide a 12-minute delay before secondstage heat is initiated. This switch is only activated when
the thermostat selector jumper is positioned for SINGLEstage thermostat use.
Switches 3 and 4 -- Blower-Off Delay -- The blower-on
delay of 30 seconds is not adjustable. The blower-off delay
(time that the blower operates after the heating demand
has been satisfied) can be adjusted by moving switches 3
and 4 on the integrated control. The unit is shipped from the
factory with a blower-off delay of 90 seconds. The blower
off delay affects comfort and is adjustable to satisfy individ
®
ual applications. Adjust the blower off delay to achieve a
supply air temperature between 90° and 110°F at the exact
moment that the blower is de-energized. Longer off delay
settings provide lower supply air temperatures; shorter set
tings provide higher supply air temperatures.Table 6 pro
vides the blower off timings that will result from different
switch settings.

FIGURE 6
WARNING
During blower operation, the ECM motor emits ener
gy that may interfere with pacemaker operation. In
terference is reduced by both the sheet metal cabinet
and distance.
The motor communicates with the integrated control via a
2-way serial connection. The motor receives all necessary
functional parameters from the integrated control and does
not rely on a factory program like traditional variable speed
motors. EL296DFV units use a three‐phase, electronically
controlled D.C. brushless motor (controller converts single
phase a.c. to three phase D.C.), with a permanent‐magnet‐
type rotor (figure 7). Because this motor has a permanent
magnet rotor it does not need brushes like conventional D.C.
motors.
The stator windings are split into three poles which are electri
cally connected to the controller. This arrangement allows
motor windings to turn on and off in sequence by the con
troller.
IMPORTANT
Earlier ECM motors used on other Lennox furnace
models are not interchangeable with motors used on
the EL296 furnace line.
A solid‐state controller is permanently attached to the
motor. The controller is primarily an A.C. to D.C. con
verter. Converted D.C. power is used to drive the motor.
The controller contains a microprocessor which moni
tors varying conditions inside the motor (such as motor
workload).
BLOWER MOTOR COMPONENTS
STATOR
(WINDINGS)
BEARING
ROTOR
FIGURE 7
The controller uses sensing devices to sense what position
the rotor is in at any given time. By sensing the position of the
rotor and then switching the motor windings on and off in se
quence, the rotor shaft turns the blower.
All EL296DFV blower motors use single phase power.
An external run capacitor is not used. The motor uses
permanently lubricated ball‐type bearings.
Internal Operation
The motor is controlled via serial communication between
the integrated control on the furnace and the controller at
tached to the motor shell. The messages sent back and
forth between the two controls serve to communicate rota
tional direction, demand, motor size, current draw, torque,
and rpm, among other variables.
Motor rpm is continually adjusted internally to maintain
constant static pressure against the blower wheel. The control
ler monitors the static work load on the motor and motor amp‐
draw to determine the amount of rpm adjustment. Blower rpm
may be adjusted any amount in order to maintain a constant
cfm as shown in Blower Ratings Tables. The cfm remains rel
atively stable over a broad range of static pressure. Since the
blower constantly adjusts rpm to maintain a specified cfm, mo
tor rpm is not rated. Hence, the terms “cool speed”, “heat
speed ” or “speed tap” in this manual, on the unit wiring dia
gram and on blower B3, refer to blower cfm regardless of mo
tor rpm.
Initial Power Up
When line voltage is applied to B3, there will be a large inrush
of power lasting less than 1/4 second. This inrush charges a
bank of DC filter capacitors inside the controller. If the discon
nect switch is bounced when the disconnect is closed, the dis
connect contacts may become welded. Try not to bounce the
disconnect switch when applying power to the unit.
Page 23
Page 24
Motor Start‐Up
When B3 begins start‐up, the motor gently vibrates back and
forth for a moment. This is normal. During this time the elec
tronic controller is determining the exact position of the rotor.
Once the motor begins turning, the controller slowly eases
the motor up to speed (this is called “soft‐start”). The motor
may take as long as 10‐15 seconds to reach full speed. If the
motor does not reach 200 rpm within 13 seconds, the motor
shuts down. Then the motor will immediately attempt a re
start. The shutdown feature provides protection in case of a
frozen bearing or blocked blower wheel. The motor may at
tempt to start eight times. If the motor does not start after the
eighth try, the controller locks out. Reset controller by momen
tarily turning off power to unit.
The DC filter capacitors inside the controller are connected
electrically to the motor supply wires. The capacitors take
approximately 5 minutes to discharge when the disconnect
is opened. For this reason it is necessary to wait at least 5
minutes after turning off power to the unit before attempt
ing to service motor.
DANGER
Disconnect power from unit and
wait at least five minutes to allow
capacitors to discharge before at
tempting to service motor. Failure
to wait may cause personal injury
or death.
Power Choke (L13)
A choke coil is used on EL296DFV 4 and 5 ton units
equipped with 1 hp motors. The choke is located on the
blower housing and is used to suppress transient current
spikes.
Troubleshooting Motor Operation
To verify motor operation see steps below and figures 8
and 9.
1- Remove J48 (5 pin power plug) from P48 on the mo
tor.
2- With the power on at the furnace and door switch de
pressed, use a test meter to verify 120V between pins
4 and 5 on J48.
3- Reconnect J48 to P48 on the motor.
4- Remove J49 (4 pin low voltage connector) from P49
on the motor.
5- Using test jumpers, apply 24V to pins 3 and 4 on P49
on the motor.
Note: Do not apply 24V to pins 2 and 4 on P49. Doing so
will cause permanent damage to the motor.
6- Motor should run at 75%.
7- Test is complete. Remove jumpers and reconnect
plugs.
Another option is to use the TECMate PRO motor tester
with the 16 to 4 pin adaptor. The use of the TECMate PRO
isolates the motor from the integrated control. Follow the
instructions provided with the kit. If the motor runs do not
replace.

The SureLight
ignitor is made of durable silicon nitride. Ig
nitor longevity is enhanced by controlling voltage to the ig
nitor. The integrated control provides a regulated 120 volts
to the ignitor for a consistent ignition and long ignitor life.

TEST B
Use an ohmmeter to measure the motor phase-to-phase
resistance by checking these combinations of the the 3-pin

the connector as lead 1.
NOTE - The EL296DFV(X) furnace contains electronic
components that are polarity sensitive. Make sure that the
furnace is wired correctly and is properly grounded.
2. Flame Sensor
A flame sensor is located on the left side of the burner sup
port. See figure 13. The sensor tip protrudes into the flame
envelope of the left-most burner. The sensor can be re
moved for service without removing any part of the burn
ers. During operation, flame is sensed by current passed
through the flame and sensing electrode. The SureLight
control allows the gas valve to remain open as long as
flame signal is sensed. To check flame sense signal use the
push-button found on the integrated control and go to Field
Test Mode. The menu will display the flame signal. See
table 15 for flame signal.

3. Gas Valve
The valve (figure 51) is internally redundant to assure safe
ty shut-off. If the gas valve must be replaced, the same type
valve must be used.
24VAC terminals and gas control knob are located on the
valve. A wire harness connects the terminals from the gas
valve to the electronic ignition control. 24V applied to the termi
nals energizes the valve.
Inlet and outlet pressure taps are located on the valve. A regu
lator adjustment screw is located on the valve.
LPG change over kits are available from Lennox. Kits include
burner orifices and a gas valve.
Page 26
Page 27
4. Flame Rollout Switches (S47)
Flame rollout switch is a high temperature limit located on
top of the burner box, one on each side.- See figure 13. The
limit is a N.C. SPST manual‐reset limit. When S47 senses
rollout, the circuit breaks and the ignition control immedi
ately stops ignition and closes the gas valve. Rollout can be
caused by a blocked heat exchanger, flue or lack of com
bustion air. The switch is factory set to trip (open) at 210°F
and cannot be adjusted. The switch can be manually reset.
To manually reset a tripped switch, push the reset button lo
cated on the control.
5. Burners
All units use inshot burners. Burners are factory set and re
quire no adjustment. Always operate the unit with the burner
box front panel in place. Each burner uses an orifice (see
table 28 for orifice size) that is precisely matched to the burn
EL296DFV HEATING COMPONENTS
er input. Burners can be removed as a one piece assembly
for service. If burner assembly has been removed, it is critical
to align center of each burner to the center of the clamshell
when re-installing. See more detail in Section VI- MAINTE
NANCE.
6. Primary Limit Control (S10)
The primary limit (S10) is located in the heating vestibule pan
el. When excess heat is sensed in the heat exchanger, the
limit will open. If the limit is open, the furnace control energizes
the supply air blower and closes the gas valve. The limit auto
matically resets when unit temperature returns to normal. The
switch must reset within three minutes or the SureLight control
will go into Watch guard for one hour. The switch is factory
set and cannot be adjusted. The switch may have a different
set point for each unit model number. See Lennox Repair

7. Combustion Air Inducer (B6) and
Cold End Header Box
All EL296DFV(X) units use a two-stage combustion air in
ducer to move air through the burners and heat exchanger
during heating operation. The blower uses a 120VAC mo
tor. The motor operates during all heating operation and is
controlled by integrated control control A92. The inducer
also operates for 15 seconds before burner ignition (pre‐
purge) and for 5 seconds after the gas valve closes (post‐
purge). The inducer operates on low speed during firststage heat, then switches to high speed for second stage
heat.
NOTE - Each furnace model uses a unique CAI. Refer to
Lennox Repair Parts listing for correct inducer for replace
ment.
The combustion air inducer is installed on the cold end
header box. The cold end header box is a single piece
made of hard plastic. The box has an internal channel
where the combustion air inducer creates negative pres
sure at unit start up. The channel contains an orifice used
to regulate flow created by the combustion air inducer.
The box has pressure taps for the combustion air inducer
pressure switch hoses. The pressure switch measures
the pressure differential across the combustion air induc
er orifice or difference in the channel and the box. If re
placement is necessary the gaskets used to seal the
box to the vestibule panel and the combustion air in
ducer to the box, must also be replaced.
A proving switch connected to the combustion air inducer ori
fice plate is used to prove inducer operation. The combustion
air inducer orifice will be different for each model. See table
16 for orifice sizes. The pressure switch measures the pres
sure differential across the combustion air inducer orifice.
When the proving switch opens, the furnace control (A92) im
mediately closes the gas valve to prevent burner operation.
TABLE 16
EL296DFV(X) Unit
C.A.I. Orifice Size
The switches are a single‐pole single‐throw proving switch
electrically connected to the integrated control. The purpose
of the switch is to prevent burner operation if the combustion
air inducer is not operating or if the flue becomes obstructed.
On heat demand (first or second stage) the switch senses
that the combustion air inducer is operating. It closes a cir
cuit to the integrated control when pressure inside the com
bustion air inducer decreases to a certain set point.
Set points vary depending on unit size. See table 17. The
pressure sensed by the switch is negative relative to atmo
spheric pressure. If the flue becomes obstructed during op
eration, the switch senses a loss of negative pressure
(pressure becomes more equal with atmospheric pres
sure) and opens the circuit to the furnace control and gas
valve. A bleed port on the switch allows relatively dry air in
the vestibule to purge switch tubing, to prevent condensate
build up.

Pressure Switch (S18)
EL296DFV(X) series units are equipped with a dual com

on the combustion air inducer orifice bracket. See figure 15.
The switch is connected to the combustion air inducer hous
ing by means of a flexible silicone hose. It monitors negative
air pressure in the combustion air inducer housing.
Page 29
NOTE - The switch is factory set and is not field adjustable.
It is a safety shut‐down control in the furnace and must not
be by-passed for any reason. If switch is closed or bypassed, the control will not initiate ignition at start up.

transitional solvent cement to make connections to
the PVC fittings in the unit.
Use PVC primer and solvent cement or ABS solvent cement
meeting ASTM specifications, refer to Table 18. As an alter
nate, use all purpose cement, to bond ABS, PVC, or CPVC
pipe when using fittings and pipe made of the same materi
als. Use transition solvent cement when bonding ABS to ei
ther PVC or CPVC.
Low temperature solvent cement is recommended during
cooler weather. Metal or plastic strapping may be used for
vent pipe hangers. Uniformly apply a liberal coat of PVC
primer for PVC or use a clean dry cloth for ABS to clean in
side socket surface of fitting and male end of pipe to depth
of fitting socket.
Canadian Applications Only - Pipe, fittings, primer
and solvent cement used to vent (exhaust) this ap
pliance must be certified to ULC S636 and supplied by a
single manufacturer as part of an approved vent (ex
haust) system. In addition, the first three feet of vent
pipe from the furnace flue collar must be accessible for
inspection.

Joint Cementing Procedure
All cementing of joints should be done according to the
specifications outlined in ASTM D 2855.
NOTE - A sheet metal screw may be used to secure
the intake pipe to the connector, if desired. Use a drill
or self tapping screw to make a pilot hole.
DANGER
DANGER OF EXPLOSION!
Fumes from PVC glue may ignite during system
check. Allow fumes to dissipate for at least 5 minutes
before placing unit into operation.
1 - Measure and cut vent pipe to desired length.
2 - Debur and chamfer end of pipe, removing any ridges
or rough edges. If end is not chamfered, edge of pipe
may remove cement from fitting socket and result in a
leaking joint.
NOTE - Check the inside of vent pipe thoroughly for
any obstruction that may alter furnace operation.
3 - Clean and dry surfaces to be joined.
4 - Test fit joint and mark depth of fitting on outside of pipe.
5 - Uniformly apply a liberal coat of PVC primer for PVC or
use a clean dry cloth for ABS to clean inside socket
surface of fitting and male end of pipe to depth of fitting
socket.
6 - Promptly apply solvent cement to end of pipe and in
side socket surface of fitting. Cement should be ap
plied lightly but uniformly to inside of socket. Take
care to keep excess cement out of socket. Apply sec
ond coat to end of pipe.
NOTE - Time is critical at this stage. Do not allow prim
er to dry before applying cement.
7 - Immediately after applying last coat of cement to pipe,
and while both inside socket surface and end of pipe
are wet with cement, forcefully insert end of pipe into
socket until it bottoms out. Turn PVC pipe 1/4 turn dur
ing assembly (but not after pipe is fully inserted) to dis
tribute cement evenly. DO NOT turn ABS or cellular
core pipe.
NOTE - Assembly should be completed within 20 sec
onds after last application of cement. Hammer blows
should not be used when inserting pipe.
8 - After assembly, wipe excess cement from pipe at end
of fitting socket. A properly made joint will show a
bead around its entire perimeter. Any gaps may indi
cate an improper assembly due to insufficient sol
vent.
9 - Handle joints carefully until completely set.

FURNACE
(Replaced
by EL193)
If an EL296DFV furnace replaces a furnace which was
commonly vented with another gas appliance, the size of
the existing vent pipe for that gas appliance must be
checked. Without the heat of the original furnace flue prod
ucts, the existing vent pipe is probably oversized for the
single water heater or other appliance. The vent should be
checked for proper draw with the remaining appliance.

9. In areas where piping penetrates joists or interior
walls, hole must be large enough to allow clearance on
all sides of pipe through center of hole using a hanger.
10. When furnace is installed in a residence where unit is
shut down for an extended period of time, such as a
vacation home, make provisions for draining conden
sate collection trap and lines.
Removal of the Furnace from Common Vent
In the event that an existing furnace is removed from a
venting system commonly run with separate gas ap
pliances, the venting system is likely to be too large to
properly vent the remaining attached appliances.
Conduct the following test while each appliance is operat
ing and the other appliances (which are not operating) re
main connected to the common venting system. If the
venting system has been installed improperly, you must
correct the system as indicated in the general venting re
quirements section.
WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each
appliance connected to the venting system being
placed into operation could result in carbon mon
oxide poisoning or death.
The following steps shall be followed for each ap
pliance connected to the venting system being
placed into operation, while all other appliances
connected to the venting system are not in
operation:
1 - Seal any unused openings in the common venting sys
tem.
2 - Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal
pitch. Determine that there is no blockage, restriction,
leakage, corrosion, or other deficiencies which could
cause an unsafe condition.
3 - Close all building doors and windows and all doors be
tween the space in which the appliances remaining
connected to the common venting system are located
and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dry
ers and any appliances not connected to the common
venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as
range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will oper
ate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer ex
haust fan. Close fireplace dampers.
4 - Follow the lighting instructions. Turn on the appliance
that is being inspected. Adjust the thermostat so that
the appliance operates continuously.
5 - After the main burner has operated for 5 minutes, test
for leaks of flue gases at the draft hood relief opening.
Use the flame of a match or candle.
6 - After determining that each appliance connected to the
common venting system is venting properly, (step 3)
return all doors, widows, exhaust fans, fireplace damp
ers, and any other gas-burning appliances to their pre
vious mode of operation.
7 - If a venting problem is found during any of the preced
ing tests, the common venting system must be modi
fied to correct the problem.
Resize the common venting system to the minimum
vent pipe size determined by using the appropriate
tables in Appendix G. (These are in the current stan
dards of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.
Exhaust Piping (Figures 23 and 24)
Route piping to outside of structure. Continue with installa
tion following instructions given in piping termination sec
tion.
CAUTION
Do not discharge exhaust into an existing stack or
stack that also serves another gas appliance. If verti
cal discharge through an existing unused stack is re
quired, insert PVC pipe inside the stack until the end
is even with the top or outlet end of the metal stack.
CAUTION
The exhaust vent pipe operates under positive pres
sure and must be completely sealed to prevent leak
age of combustion products into the living space.

an option to PVC. When using the PolyPro
InnoFlue
®
by Centrotherm venting system the vent pipe re
by DuraVent or
quirements stated in the unit installation instruction – min
imum & maximum vent lengths, termination clearances,
etc. – apply and must be followed. Follow the instructions
provided with PoyPro by DuraVent and InnoFlue by Cen
trotherm venting system for assembly or if requirements
are more restrictive. The PolyPro by Duravent and In
noFlue by Centrotherm venting system must also follow
the uninsulated and unconditioned space criteria listed in
table 22.
The EL296DFV can be installed as either a Non-Direct
Vent or a Direct Vent gas central furnace.
NOTE - In Non‐Direct Vent installations, combustion air is
taken from indoors or ventilated attic or crawlspace and flue
gases are discharged outdoors. In Direct Vent installations,
combustion air is taken from outdoors and flue gases are
discharged outdoors.
Intake and exhaust pipe sizing -- Size pipe according to
tables 20 and 21. Count all elbows inside and outside the
home. Table 20 lists the minimum vent pipe lengths per
mitted. Table 21 lists the maximum pipe lengths permitted.

Regardless of the diameter of pipe used, the standard roof
and wall terminations described in section Exhaust PipingTerminations should be used. Exhaust vent termination
pipe is sized to optimize the velocity of the exhaust gas as
it exits the termination. Refer to table 24.
In some applications which permit the use of several differ
ent sizes of vent pipe, a combination vent pipe may be
used. Contact Lennox' Application Department for assis
tance in sizing vent pipe in these applications.
®
and
NOTE - Exhaust pipe MUST be glued to furnace exhaust
fittings.
NOTE - Exhaust piping should be checked carefully to
make sure there are no sags or low spots.
NOTE - If right side venting option is used, you must include
the elbow at the furnace in the elbow count. If transitioning
to 3” dia pipe, this elbow equates to 20' of equivalent vent
length for all models.
Use the following steps to correctly size vent pipe diameter.

Intake Piping
The EL296DFV furnace may be installed in either direct
vent or non-direct vent applications. In non-direct vent
applications, when intake air will be drawn into the furnace
from the surrounding space, the indoor air quality must be
considered. Guidelines listed in Combustion, Dilution and
Ventilation Air section must be followed.
Follow the next two steps when installing the unit in Direct
Vent applications, where combustion air is taken from
outdoors and flue gases are discharged outdoors. The
provided air intake screen must not be used in direct
vent applications (outdoors).
1 - Use cement or a sheet metal screw to secure the in
take pipe to the inlet air connector.
2 - If intake air is drawn from a ventilated crawlspace (fig
ure 28) or ventilated attic (figure 27) the exhaust vent
length must not exceed those listed in table 23. If 3” di
ameter pipe is used, reduce to 2” diameter pipe to ac
commodate the debris screen.
3 - Route piping to outside of structure. Continue with
installation following instructions given in general
guide lines for piping terminations and intake and ex
haust piping terminations for direct vent sections. Re
fer to table

Follow the next two steps when installing the unit in Non‐
Direct Vent applications where combustion air is takenfrom indoors and flue gases are discharged outdoors.
1 - Use field-provided materials and the factory-provided
air intake screen to route the intake piping as shown in
figure 29. Maintain a minimum clearance of 3” (76mm)
around the air intake opening. The air intake opening
(with the protective screen) should always be directed
forward, or sideways.
2 - Use cement to secure the intake pipe to the connector,
if desired.
General Guidelines for Vent Terminations
In Non‐Direct Vent applications, combustion air is taken
from indoors and the flue gases are discharged to the out
doors. The EL296DFV is then classified as a non‐direct
vent, Category IV gas furnace.
In Direct Vent applications, combustion air is taken from
outdoors and the flue gases are discharged to the out
doors. The EL296DFV is then classified as a direct vent,
Category IV gas furnace.
In both Non‐Direct Vent and Direct Vent applications, the
vent termination is limited by local building codes. In the
absence of local codes, refer to the current National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223-1/NFPA 54 in U.S.A., and current
CSA-B149 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes in
Canada for details.
Position termination according to location given in figure 31
or 32. In addition, position termination so it is free from any
obstructions and 12” above the average snow accumula
tion.
At vent termination, care must be taken to maintain
protective coatings over building materials (prolonged
exposure to exhaust condensate can destroy protective
coatings). It is recommended that the exhaust outlet not be
located within 6 feet (1.8m) of an outdoor AC unit because
the condensate can damage the painted coating.
NOTE - See table 22 for maximum allowed exhaust pipe
length without insulation in unconditioned space during
winter design temperatures below 32°F (0°C). If required
exhaust pipe should be insulated with 1/2” (13mm) Arma
flex or equivalent. In extreme cold climate areas, 3/4”
(19mm) Armaflex or equivalent may be necessary. Insula
tion must be protected from deterioration. Armaflex with
UV protection is permissable. Basements or other en
closed areas that are not exposed to the outdoor ambient
temperature and are above 32 degrees F (0°C) are to be
considered conditioned spaces.
IMPORTANT
Do not use screens or perforated metal in exhaust
terminations. Doing so will cause freeze-ups and
may block the terminations.
IMPORTANT
For Canadian Installations Only:
In accordance to CSA International B149 installation
codes, the minimum allowed distance between the
combustion air intake inlet and the exhaust outlet of
other appliances shall not be less than 12 inches
(305mm).

Details of Intake and Exhaust Piping Terminations for
Direct Vent Installations
NOTE - In Direct Vent installations, combustion air is tak
en from outdoors and flue gases are discharged to out
doors.
NOTE - Flue gas may be slightly acidic and may adversely
affect some building materials. If any vent termination is
used and the flue gasses may impinge on the building ma
terial, a corrosion-resistant shield (minimum 24 inches
square) should be used to protect the wall surface. If the
optional tee is used, the protective shield is recommended.
The shield should be constructed using wood, plastic,
sheet metal or other suitable material. All seams, joints,
cracks, etc. in the affected area should be sealed using an
appropriate sealant. See figure 36.
Intake and exhaust pipes may be routed either horizontally
through an outside wall or vertically through the roof. In at
tic or closet installations, vertical termination through the
roof is preferred. Figures 33 through 41 show typical ter
minations.
1. Vent terminations are not required to be in the same
pressure zone. You may exit the intake on one side of
the structure and the exhaust on another side (figure
34). You may exit the exhaust out the roof and the in
take out the side of the structure (figure 35).
2. Intake and exhaust pipes should be placed as close
together as possible at termination end (refer to il
lustrations). Maximum separation is 3” (76mm) on roof
terminations and 6” (152mm) on side wall termina
tions.
NOTE - When venting in different pressure zones, the
maximum separation requirement of intake and ex
haust pipe DOES NOT apply.
3. On roof terminations, the intake piping should termi
nate straight down using two 90° elbows (See figure
33).
4. Exhaust piping must terminate straight out or up as
shown. A reducer may be required on the exhaust pip
ing at the point where it exits the structure to improve
the velocity of exhaust away from the intake piping.
See table 24.

5. On field-supplied terminations for side wall exit, ex
haust piping may extend a maximum of 12 inches
(305mm) for 2” PVC and 20 inches (508mm) for 3”
(76mm) PVC beyond the outside wall. Intake piping
should be as short as possible. See figure 36.
NOTE - Care must be taken to avoid recirculation of
exhaust back into intake pipe.
6. On field supplied terminations, a minimum distance
between the end of the exhaust pipe and the end of
the intake pipe without a termination elbow is 8” and a
minimum distance of 6” with a termination elbow. See
figure 36.

7. If intake and exhaust piping must be run up a side wall
to position above snow accumulation or other ob
structions, piping must be supported. At least one
bracket must be used within 6” from the top of the el
bow and then every 24” (610mm) as shown in figure
36, to prevent any movement in any direction. When
exhaust and intake piping must be run up an outside
wall, the exhaust piping must be terminated with pipe
sized per table 24.The intake piping may be equipped
with a 90° elbow turndown. Using turndown will add 5
feet (1.5m) to the equivalent length of the pipe.
8. A multiple furnace installation may use a group of up to
four terminations assembled together horizontally, as
shown in figure 39.

Details of Exhaust Piping Terminations for Non‐Direct
Vent Applications
Exhaust pipes may be routed either horizontally through an
outside wall or vertically through the roof. In attic or closet
installations, vertical termination through the roof is pre
ferred. Figures 42 through 43 show typical terminations.
1. Exhaust piping must terminate straight out or up as
shown. The termination pipe must be sized as listed in
table 24.The specified pipe size ensures proper ve
locity required to move the exhaust gases away from
the building.
2. On field supplied terminations for side wall exit, ex
haust piping may extend a maximum of 12 inches
(305mm) for 2” PVC and 20 inches (508mm) for 3”
(76mm) PVC beyond the outside wall.
Page 50
Page 51
3. If exhaust piping must be run up a side wall to position
above snow accumulation or other obstructions, pip
ing must be supported every 24 inches (610mm).
When exhaust piping must be run up an outside wall,
any reduction in exhaust pipe size must be done after
the final elbow.
4. Distance between exhaust pipe terminations on mul
tiple furnaces must meet local codes.

Condensate Piping
This unit is designed for either right‐ or left‐side exit of con
densate piping. Refer to figures 44 and 46 for condensate
trap locations.
FIGURE 44
1 - Determine which side condensate piping will exit the
unit, location of trap, field-provided fittings and length of
PVC pipe required to reach available drain.
2 - For furnaces with a 1/2” drain connection use a 3/8 al
len wrench and remove plug (figure 44) from the cold
end header box at the appropriate location on the side
of the unit. Install field-provided 1/2 NPT male fitting
into cold end header box. For furnaces with a 3/4”
drain connection use a large flat head screw driver or a
1/2” drive socket extension and remove plug. Install
provided 3/4 NPT street elbow fitting into cold end
header box. Use Teflon tape or appropriate pipe dope.
3 - Install the cap over the clean out opening at the base
of the trap. Secure with clamp. See figure 49 (3/4”
drain connection) or 50 (1/2” drain connection).
4 - Install drain trap using appropriate PVC fittings, glue
all joints. Glue the provided drain trap as shown in fig
ure 49 or 50. Route the condensate line to an open
drain.
5 - Figure 47 shows the furnace and evaporator coil using
a separate drain. If necessary, the condensate line
from the furnace and evaporator coil can drain togeth
er. See figure 48. The field provided vent must be a
minimum 1” to a maximum 2” length above the con
densate drain outlet connection.
NOTE - If necessary the condensate trap may be installed
up to 5 feet away from the furnace. Piping from furnace
must slope down a minimum of 1/4” per ft. toward trap.
Page 51
Page 52
NOTE - Appropriately sized tubing and barbed fitting may
be used for condensate drain. Attach to the drain on the
trap using a hose clamp. See figure 45.

Condensate line must slope downward away from the
trap to drain. If drain level is above condensate trap,
condensate pump must be used. Condensate drain
line should be routed within the conditioned space to
avoid freezing of condensate and blockage of drain
line. If this is not possible, a heat cable kit may be used
on the condensate trap and line. Heat cable kit is avail
able from Lennox in various lengths; 6 ft. (1.8m) - kit
no. 26K68; 24 ft. (7.3m) - kit no. 26K69; and 50 ft.

3 - Inspect condition of condensate traps and drain as
sembly. Disassemble and clean seasonally.
B-Heating Start‐Up
BEFORE LIGHTING the unit, smell all around the fur
nace area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor be
cause some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the
floor.
The gas valve on the EL296DFV is equipped with a gas
control switch. Use only your hand to move the switch.
Never use tools. If the the switch will not move by hand,
replace the valve. Do not try to repair it. Force or at
tempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
Placing the furnace into operation:
EL296DFV units are equipped with a SureLight
system. Do not
attempt to manually light burners on this
®
ignition
furnace. Each time the thermostat calls for heat, the
burners will automatically light The ignitor does not get
hot when there is no call for heat on units with SureLight
ignition system.
Priming Condensate Trap
The condensate trap should be primed with water prior to
start-up to ensure proper condensate drainage. Either
pour 10 fl. oz. (300 ml) of water into the trap, or follow
these steps to prime the trap:
1 - Follow the lighting instructions to place the unit into op
eration.
2 - Set the thermostat to initiate a heating demand.
3 - Allow the burners to fire for approximately 3 minutes.
4 - Adjust the thermostat to deactivate the heating de
mand.
5 - Wait for the combustion air inducer to stop. Set the
thermostat to initiate a heating demand and again al
low the burners to fire for approximately 3 minutes.
6 - Adjust the thermostat to deactivate the heating de
mand and again wait for the combustion air inducer to
stop. At this point, the trap should be primed with suffi
cient water to ensure proper condensate drain opera
tion.
WARNING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire
or explosion may result causing property damage,
personal injury or death.

IV-HEATING SYSTEM SERVICE CHECKS
A-CSA Certification
All units are CSA design certified without modifications.
Refer to the EL296DFV(X) Installation Instruction.
B-Gas Piping
CAUTION
If a flexible gas connector is required or allowed by
the authority that has jurisdiction, black iron pipe
shall be installed at the gas valve and extend outside
the furnace cabinet.
WARNING
Do not exceed 600 in-lbs (50 ft-lbs) torque when
attaching the gas piping to the gas valve.
Gas supply piping should not allow more than 0.5”W.C. drop
in pressure between gas meter and unit. Supply gas pipe
must not be smaller than unit gas connection.
Compounds used on gas piping threaded joints should be
resistant to action of liquefied petroleum gases.
C-Testing Gas Piping
IMPORTANT
through Lennox under part number 31B2001. See Corp.
8411-L10, for further details.
Do not use matches, candles, flame or any other
source of ignition to check for gas leaks.
D-Testing Gas Supply Pressure
An inlet pressure post located on the gas valve provides ac
cess to the supply pressure. See figure 51. Back out the
3/32 hex screw one turn, connect a piece of 5/16 tubing and
connect to a manometer to measure supply pressure. See
table 28 for supply line pressure.
E-Check Manifold Pressure
NOTE - Pressure test adapter kit (10L34) is available from
Lennox to facilitate manifold pressure measurement.
A manifold pressure post located on the gas valve provides
access to the manifold pressure. See figure 51. Back out
the 3/32 hex screw one turn, connect a piece of 5/16 tubing
and connect to a manometer to measure manifold pres
sure.
To correctly measure manifold pressure, the differential
pressure between the positive gas manifold and the nega
tive burner box must be considered.
IMPORTANT
For safety, connect a shut‐off valve between the ma
nometer and the gas tap to permit shut off of gas
pressure to the manometer.
In case emergency shutdown is required, turn off
the main shut‐off valve and disconnect the main
power to unit. These controls should be properly
labeled by the installer.
When pressure testing gas lines, the gas valve must be dis
connected and isolated. Gas valves can be damaged if
subjected to more than 0.5 psig (14” W.C.). See figure 52. If
the pressure is greater than 0.5psig (14”W.C.), use the
manual shut-off valve before pressure testing to isolate fur
nace from gas supply.

The gas valve is factory set and should not require adjust
ment. All gas valves are factory regulated.
F- Proper Gas Flow (Approximate)
Furnace should operate at least 5 minutes before check
ing gas flow. Determine time in seconds for two revolu
tions of gas through the meter. (Two revolutions assures a
more accurate time.) Divide by two and compare to time
in table 25 below. If manifold pressure matches table 28
and rate is incorrect, check gas orifices for proper size and
restriction.

I- Proper Ground and Voltage
A poorly grounded furnace can contribute to premature ig
nitor failure. Use the following procedure to check for
ground and voltage to the integrated control.
1 - Measure the AC voltage between Line Neutral (spade
terminals) and “C” terminal (low voltage terminal
block) on the integrated control. See figure 53. A wide
variation in the voltage between Line Neutral and “C”
as a function of load indicates a poor or partial ground.
Compare the readings to the table below. If the read
ings exceed the maximum shown in table 1, make re
pairs before operating the furnace.
2 - In addition, measure the AC voltage from Line Hot to
Line Neutral (spade terminals) on the integrated con
trol. See figure 53. This voltage should be in the range
of 97 to 132 Vac

V-TYPICAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
A-Blower Operation and Adjustment
1 - Blower operation is dependent on thermostat control
system.
2 - Generally, blower operation is set at thermostat sub
base fan switch. With fan switch in ON position, blower
operates continuously. With fan switch in AUTO position,
blower cycles with demand or runs continuously while
heating or cooling circuit cycles.
3 - Depending on the type of indoor thermostat, blower
and entire unit will be off when the system switch is in
OFF position.
B-Temperature Rise (Figure 54)
Temperature rise for EL296DFV units depends on unit in
put, blower speed, blower horsepower and static pressure
as marked on the unit rating plate. The blower speed must
be set for unit operation within the range of “TEMP. RISE
°F” listed on the unit rating plate.
3 - With only the blower motor running and the evaporator
coil dry, observe the manometer reading. Adjust blow
er motor speed to deliver the air desired according to
the job requirements. For heating speed (second
stage heat speed) external static pressure drop must
not be more than 0.8” W.C. For cooling speed (second
stage cool speed) external static pressure drop must
not be more than 1.0” W.C.
4 - Seal the hole when the check is complete.

VI-MAINTENANCE
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE,
OR EXPLOSION HAZARD.
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result
in dangerous operation, serious injury, death or
property damage.
Improper servicing could result in dangerous opera
tion, serious injury, death, or property damage.
Before servicing, disconnect all electrical power to
furnace.
When servicing controls, label all wires prior to dis
connecting. Take care to reconnect wires correctly.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
At the beginning of each heating season, system should be
checked as follows by a qualified service technician:
Blower
Check the blower wheel for debris and clean if necessary.
The blower motors are prelubricated for extended bearing
life. No further lubrication is needed.
Page 59
Page 60
WARNING
The blower access panel must be securely in place
when the blower and burners are operating. Gas
fumes, which could contain carbon monoxide, can
be drawn into living space resulting in personal inju
ry or death.
Filters
All air filters are installed external to the unit. Filters should
be inspected monthly. Clean or replace the filters when
necessary to ensure proper furnace operation. Table 30
lists recommended filter sizes.
IMPORTANT
If a highefficiency filter is being installed as part of
this system to ensure better indoor air quality, the fil
ter must be properly sized. Highefficiency filters
have a higher static pressure drop than standardef
ficiency glass/foam filters. If the pressure drop is too
great, system capacity and performance may be re
duced. The pressure drop may also cause the limit to
trip more frequently during the winter and the indoor
coil to freeze in the summer, resulting in an increase
in the number of service calls.
Before using any filter with this system, check the
specifications provided by the filter manufacturer
against the data given in the appropriate Lennox
Product Specifications bulletin. Additional informa
tion is provided in Service and Application Note
ACC002 (August 2000).

Electronic Ignition
The two-stage, variable speed integrated control used in
EL296DFV units has an added feature of an internal Watch
guard control. The feature serves as an automatic reset de
vice for ignition control lockout caused by ignition failure. Af
ter one hour of continuous thermostat demand for heat, the
Watchguard will break and remake thermostat demand to
the furnace and automatically reset the control to begin the
ignition sequence.
NOTE - The ignition control thermostat selection DIP switch is
factory-set in the “TWO-STAGE” position.
Applications Using a Two-Stage Thermostat
See figure 57 for ignition control sequence
A - Heating Sequence -- Integrated Control Thermostat
Selection DIP Switch 1 OFF in “Two-Stage” Position
(Factory Setting)
1. On a call for heat, thermostat first-stage contacts close
sending a signal to the integrated control. The inte
grated control runs a self‐diagnostic program and
checks high temperature limit switches for normally
closed contacts and pressure switches for normally
open contacts. The combustion air inducer is ener
gized at low speed.
2. Once the control receives a signal that the low pres
sure switch has closed, the combustion air inducer be
gins a 15-second pre-purge in low speed.
NOTE - If the low fire pressure switch does not close
the combustion air inducer will switch to high fire. After
a 15 second pre-purge the high fire pressure switch
will close and the unit will begin operation on high fire.
After 10 to 20 seconds of high fire operation the unit
will switch to low fire..
3. After the pre-purge is complete, a 20-second initial ig
nitor warm-up period begins. The combustion air in
ducer continues to operate at low speed.
4 - After the 20-second warm-up period has ended, the gas
valve is energized on low fire (first stage) and ignition oc
curs. At the same time, the control module sends a sig
nal to begin an indoor blower 30-second ON-delay.
When the delay ends, the indoor blower motor is ener
gized on the low fire heating speed, the HUM contacts
close energizing the humidifier and 120V ACC termi
nal is energized. The furnace will continue this opera
tion as long as the thermostat has a first-stage heating
demand.
5 - If second-stage heat is required, the thermostat sec
ond-stage heat contacts close and send a signal to the
integrated control. The integrated control initiates a
30-second second-stage recognition delay.
NOTE - If the indoor thermostat is set on CONTINU
OUS FAN ON mode, the furnace will light on high fire
(second-stage) for 60 seconds to improve heat ex
changer warm up. After 60 second warm-up period,
furnace will switch to low fire (first-stage).
6 - At the end of the recognition delay, the integrated con
trol energizes the combustion air inducer at high
speed. The control also checks the high fire (second
stage) pressure switch to make sure it is closed. The
high fire (second stage) gas valve is energized and the
indoor blower motor is energized for operation at the
high fire heating speed.
7 - When the demand for high fire (second stage) heat is
satisfied, the combustion air inducer is switched to the
low-fire heating speed and the high-fire (second
stage) gas valve is de-energized. The low-fire (first
stage) gas valve continues operation. The indoor
blower motor is switched to the low-fire heating speed.
8 - When the thermostat demand for low-fire (first stage)
heat is satisfied, the gas valve is de-energized and the
field-selected indoor blower off delay begins. The
combustion air inducer begins a 5-second post-purge
period.
9 - When the combustion air post-purge period is com
plete, the inducer and the HUM contacts are de-ener
gized. The indoor blower is de-energized at the end of
the off delay as well as the 120V ACC terminal.

the combustion air inducer will switch to high fire. After
a 15 second pre-purge the high fire pressure switch
will close and the unit will begin operation on high fire.
After 10 to 20 seconds of high fire operation the unit
will switch to low fire.
3. After the pre-purge is complete, a 20-second initial ig
nitor warm-up period begins. The combustion air in
ducer continues to operate at low speed.
4 - After the 20-second warm-up period has ended, the gas
valve is energized on low fire (first stage) and ignition oc
curs. At the same time, the control module sends a sig
nal to begin an indoor blower 30-second ON-delay.
When the delay ends, the indoor blower motor is ener
gized on the low fire heating speed and the HUM con
tacts are energized. The integrated control also initi
ates a second-stage on delay (factory-set at 7 min
utes; adjustable to 12 minutes).
5 - If the heating demand continues beyond the second-
stage on delay, the integrated control energizes the
combustion air inducer at high speed. The control also
checks the high fire (second stage) pressure switch to
make sure it is closed. The high fire (second stage)
gas valve is energized and the indoor blower motor is
energized for operation at the high fire heating speed.
6 - When the thermostat heating demand is satisfied, the
combustion air inducer begins a 5-second low speed
post-purge. The field-selected indoor blower off delay
begins. The indoor blower operates at the low-fire
heating speed.
7 - When the combustion air post-purge period is com
plete, the inducer and the HUM contacts are de-ener
gized. The indoor blower is de-energized at the end of
the off delay as well as the 120V ACC terminal.

Communicating systems using the icomfort Wi-Fi® thermostat require four
thermostat wires between the thermostat and the furnace/air handler control
and four wires between the outdoor unit and the furnace/air handler control.
When a thermostat cable with more than four wires is used, the extra wires
must be properly connected to avoid electrical noise. The wires must not be
left disconnected.
Use wire nuts to bundle the four unused wires at each end of the cable. A
single wire should then be connected to the indoor unit end of the wire bundle
and attached to the “C” terminals as shown above.
