CHECKING VENT CAPACITY
Complete all gas piping, electrical, and vent
connections. After adjusting the burner system
and lighting the main burners, allow a couple of
minutes for warm-up. Hold a lighted match just
under the rim of the draft hood relief opening.
Proper venting will draw the flame toward or
into the draft hood. Improper venting, indicated
by escape or spillage of burned gas, will cause
match to flicker or go out. Smoke from a ciga-
rette will also be pulled into the draft hood if the
vent is drawing properly.
