performed by Sebastian Button.
Notes
•Prior to start of testing, 50 hours of conditioning was performed by the
manufacturer in accordance with ASTM E2780.
•Prior to start of testing, the dilution tunnel was cleaned with a steel brush.
•A 1st hour emissions sample train was pulled for all test runs.
•The blower assembly on this appliance is integral to the design and not provided
optionally, therefore no fan confirmation test was performed.
•A total of 2 test runs were completed. Test runs were performed in accordance
with ASTM E2780 for a single burn rate appliance. See the Run Narrative section
for further detail on each run.
