to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as
range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they are operating
at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.
6) Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being
inspected into operation. Adjust the thermostat so appliance
is operating continuously.
7) Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliances at
the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner
operation. Use the ame of a match or candle.
8) If improper venting is observed during any of the above
tests, the venting system must be corrected in accordance
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
and/or Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA
B149.1.
9) After it has been determined that each appliance
connected to the venting system properly vents when tested
as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans,
replace dampers and any other gas-red burning appliance
to their previous conditions of use.
