All clamped joints on the positive side of the power venter are to be sealed with high temperature silicone.
A.Place Bosch appliance into operation. Follow lighting pilot and operating instructions on Bosch cover.
1.Draw water continuously to activate appliance which will turn on gas burner.
2.CHECKING THE DRAFT. Operate the appliance with cover in place for a minimum of five minutes and check for proper venting, and assure that the combustion products are venting properly, by passing a lighted match flame or smoke taper over the top edge of the Bosch cover and towards draft hood. If the vent is drawing properly, the smoke or match flame will be drawn over the top edge of the Bosch cover and into the draft hood or opening. (see drawing below Checking The Draft)
CHECKING THE DRAFT
NOTE: If smoke is not drawn in then the combustion products are escaping from the relief opening into the room. Under these conditions, the equipment shall not be operated until proper adjustments or repairs are made to provide adequate draft.
3.Check draft spill safety switch by obstructing outside vent terminal and by drawing water. Spill switch should trip and shut off gas supply to Bosch unit. Remove outside obstruction.
4.If spill switch trips allow 5 minutes to reset.
