THE MANUFACTURER VENTING This heater must be connected to a properly installed and maintained venting system This heater is equipped with a vent safety shut off device Pilot outage will occur if the heater is not connected to a vent system Pilot outage may occur due to restriction or blockage in the vent or if connected to a masonry chimney having an area greater than the vent size shown on Page 2 This appliance should be vented through a properly sized listed type B vent that has been constructed in accordance with the National Building Code If a horizontal section of vent is used it must slope upwards a minimum of inch per foot of length This heater must not be connected to a vent system being used for wood or coal burning appliances The use of more than one appliance per vent system will most likely cause the vent safety shut off device to shut off the heater due to the cooling of vent temperatures through the draft diverter of the second appliance In some situations the vent safety shut off may shut down the heater if a too large unlined masonry chimney is used Due to low vent temperatures associated with more efficient heaters it may take too long to get the vent action going in a chimney before the shut off device will shut down the heater If this is the case we recommend lining the chimney with the proper size type B vent pipe or type B chimney liner WARNING Do not bypass the vent safety shutoff switch To do so could expos
