VENTING INSTALLATION
Continued
Some codes areas allow the use of existing B-type vent systems if
the system is at or above the recommended diameter of the fl ue, in
this case 6".
The fl ue connection must be made using listed B-type connectors
and the existing system must be code inspected for damage and
proper installation.
It is not recommended that this appliance be common vented with
an existing gas burning appliance.
NOTE:
Before connecting this appliance to an existing vent system
consult with your local architect, planner or building offi cial.

Check this area along entire
top edge of fi replace opening.
Smoke or fl ame should
be drawn into appliance
opening.
CHECKING FOR PROPER VENTING
After completing and checking electrical, gas and vent connections,
follow the lighting instructions and allow main burner to run for ap-
proximately 5 minutes. Hold a lighted match or cigarette near the top
edge of fi replace opening and play it along entire length of opening
(see
Figure 12
).
Proper venting should tend to draw the fl ame or
smoke into the appliance. Improper venting or escaping of spillage of
burned gas, is indicated when the match fl ickers or goes out. Smoke
from a cigarette will also tend to disperse away from the appliance.
If appliance is found to be improperly venting, shut it off and notify
your installer or a qualifi ed service agency to inspect the venting
system.
WARNING: This appliance must be properly con-
nected to a system and must not be connected to a
chimney fl ue servicing a separate solid fuel burning
appliance.
NOTICE: This appliance is equipped with a vent safety
shutoff switch which will shut down the appliance in
the case of a venting problem. Do not bypass the vent
safety switch. If the appliance should shut down, con-
tact a qualifi ed installer, service agency or your gas
supplier to have the vent inspected before operating.
