Locate.sediment.trap.where.it.is.within.reach.
for.cleaning..Install.in.piping.system.between.
fuel. supply. and. heater.. Locate. sediment.
trap. where. trapped. matter. is. not. likely. to.
freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and
contaminants.. This. keeps. them. from. going.
into fireplace controls. If sediment trap is not
installed or is installed wrong, fireplace may
not.run.properly.
* Purchase the optional CSA design-certified
equipment shutoff valve from your dealer. See
