  • Page 26: Periodic Maintenance

    ventInG sYsteM InspectIon At least once a year a visual inspection should be made of the venting system. You should look for: 1. Obstructions which could cause improper venting. The combustion and ventilation air flow must not be obstructed. 2. Damage or deterioration which could cause improper venting or leakage of combustion products.
