6.0 OPERATION
MODEL GS28 ONLY: SPILL SWITCH
This is a thermally activated switch, attached to the back of the chimney adaptor, which senses the change in
temperature and shuts down the gas valve in the event of a blocked or disconnected vent. It acts as a safety
shut-off to prevent a build up of carbon monoxide or an explosion of unburned gases during start up. If the
fl ue is blocked or has no "draw", the spill switch will automatically shut off the supply of gas within about 5-10
minutes.
MODEL GS28 ONLY: VENTING ACTION CHECK
A CHECK FOR CORRECT VENTING ACTION MUST BE MADE BEFORE THE INSTALLED APPLIANCE IS
LEFT WITH THE CUSTOMER. Test in the following manner:
6.0.1 Close all doors and windows in the room / start exhaust fans in the home / turn appliance blower off (if
equipped).
6.0.2 Set controls to "high" and light the unit.
6.0.3 Wait 5 minutes. Light a match and extend it 1" into the hole located above the spill switch bracket on
the adaptor.
6.0.4 Venting action is satisfactory if the fl ame stays lit. Venting action is unsatisfactory if the fl ame
extinguishes.
6.0.5 If venting action is unsatisfactory, turn the unit off, wait 10 minutes and try again. If the match does not
stay lit, turn the unit off and check for vent blockage or restriction. If necessary, consult with a qualifi ed
inspector.
IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT
CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
ALWAYS LIGHT THE PILOT WHETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME OR IF THE GAS SUPPLY HAS RAN OUT
WITH THE GLASS DOOR OPENED OR REMOVED.
