When removing an existing heater, follow the steps below.
1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch to determine if there is blockage, leakage, corrosion, or other deciencies
that could cause an unsafe condition.
3. If practical, close all building doors, windows, and doors between the space in which the water heater remains connected to the common venting
system and other spaces in the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliances not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any
exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.
Close all replace dampers.
4. Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust the thermostat so the appliance will operate continuously.
5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the ame of a match or candle or smoke from a
cigarette.
6. After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to common venting system properly vents when tested as outlined, return
doors, windows, exhaust fans, replace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to their previous condition of use.
7. Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the installation conforms to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the common venting system should be resized to approach the minimum size
as determined using the appropriate tables in Appendix G in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z 223.1.
The appliance may be installed on any suitable internal wall (suitable sound-proong may be required when installing onto a stud partition wall).
