position and condition. Visually check the flame
of the burner periodically, making sure the flames
are steady; not lifting or floating. If there is a
problem, call a qualified service person.
5. The appliance and venting system must be
inspected before use, and at least annually, by

General Vent
Maintenance
Conduct an inspection of the venting system semi-
annually. Recommended areas to inspect as follows:
1. Check the Venting System for corrosion in areas
that are exposed to the elements. These will
appear as rust spots or streaks, and in extreme
cases, holes. These components should be
replaced immediately.
2. Remove the Cap, and shine a flashlight down
the Vent. Remove any bird nests, or other foreign
material.
3.
Check for evidences of excessive condensation,
such as water droplets forming in the inner
liner, and subsequently dripping out the joints,
Continuous condensation can cause corrosion
of caps, pipe, and fittings. It may be caused
by having excessive lateral runs, too many
elbows, and exterior portions of the system
being exposed to cold weather.
4. Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or
fittings have been disturbed, and consequently
loosened. Also check mechanical supports such
as Wall Straps, or plumbers' tape for rigidity.
