Checking the Draft

Manual backgroundWARNING

Burn Hazard

Do not touch vent.

Doing so can result in burns.

After successfully lighting the water heater, allow the unit to operate for 15 minutes and check the draft hood relief opening for proper draft. Make sure all other appliances in the area are operating and all doors are closed when

performing the draft test. Pass a match flame around the relief opening of the draft hood. A

steady flame drawn into the opening indicates proper draft. If the flame flutters or is blown out,

combustion products are escaping from the relief

opening. If this occurs, do not operate the water heater until proper adjustments or repairs are made to the vent pipe system and/or air supply requirements.
