WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each appliance
connected to the venting system being placed into operation
could result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death.
The following steps shall be followed for each appliance
connected to the venting system being placed into operation,
while all other appliances connected to the venting system
are not in operation:
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 National 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
National Fuel Gas Code
, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA and/or
National 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.
