VENTING
1) Seal any unused openings in the venting system.
2) Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal
pitch, as required in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Code, CSA B149.1 and these instructions. Determine that
there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and
other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
3) As far as practical, close all building doors and windows
and all doors between the space in which the appliance(s)
connected to the venting system are located and other
spaces of the building.
4) Close fireplace dampers.
5) Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected
to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as
range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they are operating
at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.
6) Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being
inspected into operation. Adjust the thermostat so appliance
is operating continuously.
7) Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliances at
the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner
operation. Use the flame of a match or candle.
8) If improper venting is observed during any of the above
tests, the venting system must be corrected in accordance
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
and/or Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA
B149.1.
9) After it has been determined that each appliance
connected to the venting system properly vents when tested
as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans,
fireplace dampers and any other gas-fired burning appliance
to their previous conditions of use.

17. Do not put anything around the furnace or vent cap that
will obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
18. The appliance, when installed, must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the
