Frozen Exhaust Vent Terminal

If an exhaust vent terminal is blocked with ice or snow due to severe conditions, the pressure switch 

and control will not allow the burner to operate.  This will result in a three flash error code.  Once the blockage is 

removed (through melting or other means) the controls will let the burner operate.  The position of the vent 

terminals in relation to each other and terminals from other appliances can have an effect on the potential for 
blockage due to ice or snow.  See the installation instructions for recommended positioning of the terminals.
