Venting

_,WARNING

VENT DAMPERS - Any vent damper, whether it is operated thermally or otherwisemust be removed if itsuseinhibitsprop- er draftingof the water heater.

Thermally Operated Vent Dampers: Gas-fired water heaters havingthermal efficiencyin excessof 80% may producea rela- tivelylowflue gastemperature. Suchtemperatures may not be high enough to properly open thermally operated vent dampers. Thiswould causespillage of fiue gasesand may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

Vent dampers must bear evidenceof certificationas complying with the latest edition of American National Standard ANSI

Z21.68 (ANSi Z21.66 & 67, respectively,cover electricallyand mechanicallyactuatedvent dampers). Beforeinstallationof any vent damper, consultyour localSearsServiceCenter or the gas utilityfor further information.

•_ WARNING

To insure proper venting of this gas-fired water heater, the correct vent pipe diameter must be utilized. Any additionsor deletions of other gasapplianceson a common vent with this water heater may adverselyaffectthe operation of the water heater. Consult the localSears Service Center or gasutility if any suchchangesare planned.

For proper venting in certain installations, a larger diameter vent pipe may be necessary. Due to great variances in installations, unforeseeableby the manufacturer of the water heater, you must consult your gas company to aid you in determining the proper

venting for your water heater from the vent tables in the latest edi- tion of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1, alsoreferred to

as NFPA 54.

Check the venting system for signs of obstruction or deterioration and replace if needed.

The combustion and ventilation air flow must not be obstructed.

AWARNINGI

Obstructedor deteriorated vent systemsmay presenta seriousI

healthriskor asphyxiation.
