INSTALLATION/OPERATION
It is essential that the appliance be operated only when adequate ventilation is provided. Your ventilation hood should be properly maintained. A qualified installation professional should ensure that the hood is operating properly in conjunction with the appliance. Inadequate ventilation may not properly evacuate appliance all emissions. Excessive or unbalanced ventilation may cause drafts, which could interfere with proper operation of the pilot and burners. Leave at least 18 inches (46 cm) of open space between the flue of the appliance and the intake of the exhaust hood.
CAUTION
Ensure that your ventilation system does not cause a down draft at the appliance’s flue opening. A down draft will not allow the appliance to exhaust properly and will cause overheating, which may cause permanent damage. Damage caused by down drafts will not be covered by the warranty. NEVER allow anything to obstruct the flow of combustibles or ventilation exiting the appliance. NEVER place anything on top of the flue area, or block the flue in any way.
NOTICE
NEVER connect the ventilation blower or hood directly to the flue of this appliance. The resulting increased flow of air through the combustion system will cause improper operation, poor temperature recovery, poor ignition and could extinguish the pilot.
Initial Adjustments
After your appliance has been properly installed as described in the installation section of this manual, it will need to be adjusted to ensure that it will perform as designed. These adjustments must be performed by a qualified person. To perform these adjustments the following tools will be needed:
• | Manometer | • Digital Thermometer (Temperature Probe) |
• | DC Millivolt Meter |
|
Before you begin filling and adjusting the appliance, perform the following visual checks:
a.After the appliance is in its permanent location, check the levelness. Any additional leveling that is necessary can be performed as previously described.
b.Check the temperature probe and high limit bulb
(in the tank) to ensure that the mounting screws are tight.
c.Review the installation portion of this manual and ensure that all steps have been followed and executed properly.
Ensure that these
Parts are not loose
Burner Ignition Systems
CAUTION
Before proceeding any further, fill the tank with WATER. Water is used for the installation adjustments because the temperature will never exceed 212°F (100°C), thereby allowing plenty of adjustment time. Never let the water level go below the “OIL LEVEL” mark stamped on the tank.
