VENTING INSTALLATION
Continued
It is not recommended that this appliance be
common vented with an existing gas burning
appliance. However, if it becomes necessary
to common vent this appliance, the venting
system must be sized and congured in ac-
cordance with the common venting guides
Appendix G of the current National Fuel Gas
Code NFPA No. 54/ANSI Z223.1.
Note: Before connecting this appliance to an
existing vent system or a common venting
system consult with your local architect, plan-
ner, or building ofcial.
WARNING: This appliance
must be properly connected
to a system and must not be
connected to a chimney ue
servicing a separate solid fuel
burningappliance.
CHECKING FOR PROPER VENTING
After completing and checking electrical,
gas and vent connections, follow lighting
instructions and allow main burner to run
for approximately 5 minutes. Hold a lighted
match or cigarette near top edge of replace
opening and play it along entire length of
the opening (see Figure 12). Proper venting
should tend to draw the ame or smoke into
the appliance. Improper venting or escaping
of spillage of burned gas, is indicated when
the match ickers or goes out. Smoke from a
cigarette will also tend to disperse away from
the appliance.
If the appliance is found to be improperly
venting, shut it off and notify your installer
or a qualied service agency to inspect the
venting system.
