Initial Installation
QUALIFIED INSTALLERS ONLY
WARNING: This appliance has been designed to operate by drawing combustion air and dilution air from the room. It is also designed to draw room air for proper heat circulation from the sides of the unit. Blocking or modifying these openings in any way can create hazardous situations, either through poor venting or by overheating. It is important that this unit has sufficient air circulation for proper venting and combustion. Provisions must be made for the supply of adequate combustion and ventilation air. These openings must not be blocked. The appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue servicing a separate solid
A vent connector of Type B vent material must be installed with a minimum clearance of 1” (25mm) to combustible material, including passage through either a combustible wall or partition and must be securely assembled in accordance with the manufacturer’s certified instructions.
A vent connector must be install with neither dips nor sags and must be securely supported by non- combustible hangers suitable for the weight and design of the materials employed. A slip joint in the horizontal section of a vent connector must be secured with either sheet metal screws, or other approved means to prevent sagging.
AUTOMATIC FLUE GAS SPILL SWITCH -
NOTE: This heater must be properly connected to a venting system. This heater is equipped with a vent safety shutoff system designed to protect against improper venting of combustion products. This safety switch is located on the rear of the appliance. If the switch trips more than once, the venting should be inspected by a qualified service technician for possible blockage or severe down draft conditions.
The draft hood must be in the same pressure zone as the air inlet. Inspect for draft from the front of the unit at the 1⁄4” tube (shown in Figure 30). Note that when the door is installed the tube is not visible when looking straight at the unit. Check for a draft using smoke; a vacuum or suction into the tube will indicate proper drafting. If air is blowing out of the tube the problem must be corrected before the unit can be started.
