Venting

A, WARNING

VENT DAMPERS - Any vent damper, whether it is operated thermally or otherwise must be removed if its use inhibits prep- er drafting of the water heater,

Thermally Operated Vent Dampers: Gas-fired water heaters having thermal efficiency in excess of 80% may produce a rela. t_ely low Ilue gastemperature. Suchtemperatures may not be high enough to properly open thermally operated vent dampers. This would cause spillage of flue gases and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

Vent dampers must bear evidence of certification as complying with the latest edition of American National Standard ANSI

Z21.68 (ANSI Z21.66 & 67, respectively, cover electrically and mechanically actuated vent dampers). Before installation of any vent damper, consult your localSears Service Center or the gas utility for further information,

AWARNING

To insure proper venting of this gas-fired water heater, the correct vent pipe diameter must be utilized. Any additions or deletions of other gas appliances on a common vent with this water heater may adversely affect the operation of the water heater. Consult the local Sears Service Center or gas utility if any such changes are planned,

For proper venting in certain installations, a larger diameter vent pipe may be necessary. Due to great variances in installations,

unforeseeable by 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

edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1, also referred to as NFPA 54.

Check the venting system for signs of obstruction or deteriora- tion and replace if needed.

The combustion and ventilation air flow must not be obstructed.

AWARNING

'_ Place the draft hood legs in the receiving holes on the top of

the water heater. The legs will snap in the holes to give a tight fit.

•Place the vent pipe over the draft hood. With the vent pipe in position, drill a small hole through both the vent pipe and draft hood. Secure them together with a sheet metal screw,
