removes the products of combustion to the
outdoors of not less than 300 CFM for each
10,000 BTUH or fraction thereof; or
B. Natural ventilation of not less than 300 CFM for
each 10,000 BTUH input or faction thereof,
based on a maximum of one-quarter air
exchange per hour for the net building volume.
If you smell LP gas, stop the unit and check for
leaks. Also open windows, don't touch electri-
cal switches, extinguish any open flames. Call
your gas supplier if no leaks are found.
Do not adjust the fuel system without the proper
analysis equipment.
