INSTALLATION

WARNING

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. Never place a grease condensing drip pan over the flue opening.

WARNING

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.

If your appliance is equipped with SPINFRESHTM, the tank enclosure can interfere with the performance of pre-existing fire safety systems. Modifications to the fire safety system should be performed by a professional who is qualified in installing, designing and maintaining your fire safety system prior to operating any SPINFRESHTM appliance.

WARNING

Replacing or adding appliances under a pre-existing fire safety system may require modifications to the system. ALWAYS contact a professional who is qualified in installing, designing and maintaining your fire safety system to assure that any appliances located under the fire safety system are adequately protected.

1.7. INSPECTION

Before you begin filling and adjusting the appliance, perform the following visual checks:

After the appliance is in its permanent location, check the levelness. Any additional leveling that is necessary can be performed as previously described.

Ensure that the probe and high temperature limit is in place and secure. Check the high limit bulb mounting screws to ensure that they are tight.

Review the installation portion of this manual and ensure that all steps have been followed and executed properly.

1) Probe

2) High Temperature Limit

1.8. 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. A qualified person must perform these adjustments.
