CHECKING FOR PROPER VENTING
After completing and checking electrical, gas
and vent connections, follow the lighting in-
structions and allow the main burner to run for
approximately 5 minutes. Hold a lighted match
near the top edge of replace opening and play
it along entire length of opening (see Figure 21,
page 16). Proper venting should tend to draw
the ame or smoke into the appliance. Improper
venting or escaping of spillage of burned gas, is
indicated when the match ickers or goes out.
If the appliance is found to be improperly
venting, shut it off and notify your installer
or a qualied service agency to inspect the
venting system.
