Masonry Chimneys - Amana GUI* Installation Instructions Manual

3. Remove and save the four screws which hold the
rotation plate on the partition panel. Note that one of the
screws which hold the induced draft blower on the
rotation plate needs to be removed.
4. Turn the rotation plate 90 degrees counterclockwise.
The inner gasket must turn with the rotation plate.
5. Reinstall the rotation plate on the partition panel, using
the four screws removed in step 3. Tighten screws to
provide an airtight seal.
6. Make sure all wires are at least one inch from flue pipe.
Relocate junction box to right side of cabinet if nec-
essary. Refer to Section VIl, Electrical Wiring for in-
structions.
WARNING
To prevent death or serious illness to
building occupants due to flue products
leaking into the building, proper installation
of gaskets and screws is essential for
providing a gas tight seal between the
partition panel and the induced draft blower.
V. Masonry Chimneys
WARNING
Possibility of property damage, personal
injury, or death - Damaging condensation
can occur inside masonry chimneys when
a single fan assisted Category I appliance
(80% AFUE furnace) is vented without
adequate dilution air. Do not connect an
80% furnace to a masonry chimney unless
the furnace is common vented with a draft
hood equipped appliance, or the chimney
is lined with a metal liner or Type B metal
vent. All installations using Masonry
chimneys must be sized in accordance
with the appropriate Venting Tables.
If an 80% furnace is common vented with
a draft hood equipped appliance, the
potential for condensation damage may
still exist with extremely cold conditions,
long vent connectors, exterior chimneys,
or any combination of these conditions.
The risk of condensation damage is best
avoided by using the masonry chimney as
a pathway for properly sized metal liner or
Type B metal vent.

CHECKLIST SUMMARY
This checklist serves as a summary of the items to be
checked before venting an Air Command 80 furnace into a
masonry chimney. In addition, we recommend that a quali-
fied serviceman use this checklist to perform a yearly
inspection of the furnace venting system.
This checklist is only a summary. For detailed information
on each of the procedures mentioned, see the paragraph
referenced with each item.
This inspection is based upon a draft topical report, "Ma-
sonry Chimney Inspection and Relining", issued by the Gas
Research Institute. While not yet finalized, we believe this
report represents the best information on this subject which
is currently available.
