CHECKING FOR PROPER VENTING
After completing and checking electrical,
gas and vent connections, follow the lighting
instructions and allow the main burner to run
for approximately 5 minutes. Hold a lighted
match or cigarette near the top edge of fire
-
place opening and play it along entire length
of opening (see Figure 12). Proper venting
should tend to draw the flame or smoke into
the appliance. Improper venting or escaping
of spillage of burned gas, is indicated when
the match flickers 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 qualified service agency to inspect the
venting system.
