!WARNING

POSSIBLE DEATH (GS28 ONLY).

MODEL GS28 ONLY: SPILL SWITCH

This is a thermally activated switch, attached to the back of the chimney adaptor, which senses the change in temperature and shuts down the gas valve in the event of a blocked or disconnected vent. It acts as a safety shut-off to prevent a build up of carbon monoxide or an explosion of unburned gases during start up. If the flue is blocked or has no "draw", the spill switch will automatically shut off the supply of gas within about 5-10 minutes.

MODEL GS28 ONLY: VENTING ACTION CHECK

A CHECK FOR CORRECT VENTING ACTION MUST BE MADE BEFORE THE INSTALLED APPLIANCE IS LEFT WITH THE CUSTOMER. Test in the following manner:

6.0.1Close all doors and windows in the room / start exhaust fans in the home / turn appliance blower off (if equipped).

6.0.2Set controls to "high" and light the unit.

6.0.3Wait 5 minutes. Light a match and extend it 1" into the hole located above the spill switch bracket on the adaptor.

6.0.4Venting action is satisfactory if the flame stays lit. Venting action is unsatisfactory if the flame extinguishes.

6.0.5If venting action is unsatisfactory, turn the unit off, wait 10 minutes and try again. If the match does not stay lit, turn the unit off and check for vent blockage or restriction. If necessary, consult with a qualified inspector.
