G136 SERIES INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
k. Checking the Vent System
Periodically the venting system should be tested
to assure proper operation. This can be done with
a match while the appliance is operating.
Hold a lighted match at the top edge of the
appliance opening. If the flames and smoke
remain upright, ventilation is acceptable. If the
flames and smoke are drawn into the appliance,
this means ventilation is good. If the flames and
smoke are forced away from the appliance, this
may indicate a ventilation blockage or down draft
resulting in gas spillage into your home. If this
occurs, turn off the appliance and do not burn it
until it has been inspected by a qualified service
person.
If you have installed optional doors, close the doors
and conduct the test following the same instructions
above. See Figure 9.
3. Double Check Venting
When construction of the entire vent system has been
completed, double check to make sure all venting
pipes and termination caps are unobstructed.
4. Gas Line Installation
Install the gas line piping into the right side of the gas
appliance. A manual shutoff valve (supplied) should
always be used. See Figure 10.
5. Gas Line Connection
The appliance is provided with a stainless steel flexible
connector and a listed (and Commonwealth of
Massachusetts approved) T-handle manual shutoff
valve. See Figure 10. The incoming gas line should be
piped into the valve compartment and connected to
the 1/2 FIP connection provided on the manual shutoff
valve. See Figure 10 to connected the gas line.
Optional: Seal around the gas line to prevent cold air
leakage.
All connections must be tightened and checked for
leaks with a soap and water solution or a leak detector.
Bleed the gas line to extract any air that may have
been trapped inside the pipe.

Testing Ventilation
Note:
Have the gas supply line installed in
accordance with building codes by a qualified
installer approved and/or licensed as required by
the locality. In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
installation must be performed by a licensed plumber
or gas fitter.
