Ensure that your ventilation system does not cause a down draft at the unit's flue
opening. Down drafts will not allow the Rethermalizer to exhaust properly and will
cause overheating which may cause permanent damage. Damage caused by
downdrafts will not be covered under equipment warranty. NEVER allow anything
to obstruct the flow of combustibles or ventilation exiting from the unit's flue. DO
NOT put anything on top of the flue area. Leave at least 18 inches of open space
between the Rethermalizer's flue vent opening and the intake of the exhaust hood.

NEVER connect the blower hood vent directly to the flue openings. The direct flow of air will cause poor temperature
recovery, poor ignition, inefficient operation of the Rethermalizer, and could extinguish the pilot.
In the event of a fire, use ONLY a dry chemical extinguisher. The extinguisher
should be a B/C or A/B/C type extinguisher that contains sodium bicarbonate or
potassium bicarbonate.
