WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,
service or maintenance can cause property damage,
personal injury or loss of life. Installation and service
must be performed by a licensed professional HVAC
installer (or equivalent), service agency or the gas
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.
ML296UHV(X) series units are 90% e󰀩ciency gas furnac-
es used for downow applications only, manufactured with
Lennox Duralok heat exchangers formed of aluminized
steel. ML296UHV(X) units are available in heating capac-
ities of 44,000 to 110,000 Btuh and cooling applications
up 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 LPG operation. ML296U-
HV(X) unit meets the California Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)
Standards and California Seasonal E󰀩ciency require-
ments. All units use a redundant gas valve to assure safe-
ty shut-o󰀨 as required by C.S.A.

I-UNIT COMPONENTS
Unit components are shown in FIGURE 1. The gas valve,
combustion air inducer and burners can be accessed by
removing the access panel. Electrical components are in
the control box (FIGURE 2) found in the blower section.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
Precautions and Procedures
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge can a󰀨ect electronic
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
secondary.
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.

WARNING
Shock hazard.
Disconnect power before servicing. Integrated
control is not eld repairable. If control is inoperable,
simply replace entire control. Can cause injury
or death. Unsafe operation will result if repair is
attempted.
3. Integrated Control (A92)
Units are equipped with a two-stage, variable speed inte-
grated control. The system consists of a ignition / blower
control (FIGURE 3) with control pin designations in TABLE
3, TABLE 4 and 4 and ignitor. The control and ignitor work
in combination to ensure furnace ignition and ignitor dura-
bility. The control provides gas ignition, safety checks and
indoor blower control with two-stage gas heating. The fur-
nace combustion air inducer, gas valve and indoor blower
are controlled in response to various system inputs such
as thermostat signal, pressure and limit switch signal and
ame signal.
The furnace has a built-in, self-diagnostic capability. If a
system problem occurs, a fault code is shown by a red
LED on the control. The control continuously monitors its
own operation and the operation of the system. If a failure
occurs, the LED will indicate the failure code. The ash
codes are presented in TABLE 2.
Fault Code History Button
The control stores the last ve fault codes in memory. A
pushbutton switch is located on the control. When the
pushbutton switch is pressed and released, the control
ashes the stored fault codes. The most recent fault code
is ashed rst; the oldest fault code is ashed last. To
clear the fault code history, press and hold the pushbutton
switch in for more than 5 seconds before releasing.
Single Stage Thermostat Operation
The automatic heat staging option allows a single stage
thermostat to be used with two stage furnace models. To
activate this option, move the jumper pin (see FIGURE 3)
to desired setting (5 minutes or 10 minutes). The furnace
will start on 1st stage heat and stay at 1st stage heat for
the duration of the selected time before switching to 2nd
stage heat. W1 on the integrated control must be connect-
ed to W1 on the thermostat.
High Heat State LED
A green LED is provided on the control board to indicate
high heat state (see TABLE 1).
CFM LED
An amber LED is provided on the control board to display
CFM. To determine what CFM the motor is delivering at
any time, count the number of times the amber LED ash-
es. Each ash signies 100 CFM; count the ashes and
multiply by 100 to determine the actual CFM delivered (for
example: 5 ashes x 100 = 500 CFM).

Airow Adjustments
Cooling Mode
The units are factory set for the highest airow for each
model. Adjustments can be made to the cooling airow by
repositioning the jumper plug marked COOL – A, B, C, D
(see FIGURE 3). To determine what CFM the motor is de-
livering at any time, count the number of times the amber
LED on the control board ashes. Each ash signies 100
CFM; count the ashes and multiply by 100 to determine
the actual CFM delivered (for example: 5 ashes x 100 =
500 CFM).
Fan on / o󰀨 delay
On a call for heat there is a 30 second fan on delay after
igntion.When the call for heat is satised, the gas valve
and combustion air blower shut down. The circulating air
blower continues to run for selected blower o󰀨 delay time
(60/90/120/180 sec) before ramping down and shutting
o󰀨. The fan on delay is 30 seconds and not adjustabe.
NOTE - The fan o delay on ML296-55 and earlier units is
factory set at 120 seconds and NON- ADJUSTABLE.

Heating Mode
These units are factory set to run at the middle of the heat-
ing rise range as shown on the unit rating plate. If higher
or lower rise is desired, reposition the jumper plug marked
HEAT - A, B, C, D (see FIGURE 3) . To determine what
CFM the motor is delivering at any time, count the number
of times the amber LED on the control board ashes. Each
ash signies 100 CFM; count the ashes and multiply by
100 to determine the actual CFM delivered (for example:
5 ashes x 100= 500.
Adjust Tap
Airow amounts may be increased or decreased by 10%
by moving the ADJUST jumper plug (see Figure 3) from
the NORM position to the (+) or (-) position. Changes to
the ADJUST tap will a󰀨ect both cooling and heating air-
ows. The TEST position on the ADJUST tap is not used.
Continuous Blower Operation
The comfort level of the living space can be enhanced
when using this feature by allowing continuous circulation
of air between calls for cooling or heating. The circulation
of air occurs at half the full cooling airow rate.
To engage the continuous blower operation, place the fan
switch on the thermostat into the ON position. A call for fan
from the thermostat closes R to G on the ignition control
board. The control waits for a 1 second thermostat delay
before responding to the call for fan by ramping the circu-
lating blower up to 50% of the cooling speed. When the
call for continuous fan is satised, the control immediately
ramps down the circulating blower.
