IMPORTANT
The unit will not vent properly with the flue transition
pointed down in the 6 o'clock position. The
combustion air inducer may be rotated clockwise
or counterclockwise by 90° to allow for top or side
vent discharge in all applications. When the unit is
installed, the flue transition must be in the 9 o'clock,
12 o'clock or 3 o'clock position.
If necessary, reposition the combustion air inducer, pres-
sure switch and/or make-up box as needed per the follow-
ing steps. See FIGURE 17 through FIGURE 21.
