VENTING INSTALLATION
Continued
CHECKING FOR PROPER VENTING
After completing and checking the electrical,
gas and vent connections, follow the lighting
instructions and allow the main burner to run for
approximately 5 minutes. Hold a lighted match or
cigarette near the top edge of the fireplace opening
and play it along the entire length of the opening
(see Figure 12). Proper venting should tend to draw
the flame or smoke into the appliance. Improper
venting or escaping of spillage of burned gas, is
indicated when the match flickers or goes out.
Smoke from a cigarette will also tend to disperse
away from the appliance.
If the appliance is found to be improperly venting,
shut it off and notify your installer or a qualified
service agency to inspect the venting system.
NOTICE: This appliance is
equipped with a vent safety shutoff
switch which will shut down the
appliance in the case of a venting
problem. Do not bypass the vent
safety switch. If the appliance
should shut down, contact a quali-
fied installer, service agency or
your gas supplier to have the vent
inspected before operating.
Check this area along
the entire top edge of
the fireplace opening.
Smoke or flame should
be drawn into the
appliance opening.
