[] Check equivalent vent length to
determine if blower should be set at
"Low" or "High" range (see chart on page
4 to determine equivalent vent system
length). If vent system length is greater
than 30 feet (9.1m), shift the blower range
setting from "Low" to "High" (see
instructions on page 4 for shifting the
blower range).
If blower must be shifted to "High" range,
do it now.

(5.1 cm) from side wall.
