test of the integrity of the door seal. Close the door on the paper in several different locations and pull. It
is normal to feel only a slight amount of friction. The door gasket does not need to be "tight"in all areas,

Exhaust Passages and Vent Pipe:
Inspect frequently and clean when necessary. Fly ash will accumulate at all bends in the exhaust system.
Note: Large amounts of fly ash build-up will create a lack of combustion air. Removing the Tee cap on
vertical installations will allow an inspection of the ash build-up in the exhaust Tee and will help you
