Install boiler in location that permits satisfactory
combustion of gas, proper venting, and maintenance

conditions of use. Boiler location should not interfere
with proper circulation of air. Introduce outside air
if normal infiltration does not provide necessary
air."Fresh Air for Combustion" on page 12.
