The venting system of this boiler is under positive pressure.
Leakage from this system can be hazardous and if not avoided
can result in death or serious injury. In addition to the recommen-
dations within this manual and the User's Information Manual, the
venting system, from the flue collector to the outdoor discharge,
must be carefully checked annually by a qualified service agency.
