GENERAL VENT
MAINTENANCE
Conduct an inspection of the venting system
semi-annually. Recommended areas to inspect
as follows:
1) Check the Venting System for corrosion in areas
that are exposed to the elements. These will
appear as rust spots or streaks, and in extreme
cases, holes. These components should be
replaced immediately.
2) Remove the Cap, and shine a fl ashlight down
the Vent. Remove any bird nests, or other
foreign material.
3) Check for evidences of excessive condensation,
such as water droplets forming in the inner
liner, and subsequently dripping out the joints,
Continuous condensation can cause corrosion
of caps, pipe, and fi ttings. It may be caused
by having excessive lateral runs, too many
elbows, and exterior portions of the system
being exposed to cold weather.
4) Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or
fi ttings have been disturbed, and consequently
loosened. Also check mechanical supports
such as Wall Straps, or plumbers' tape for
rigidity.
CAUTION: Wear gloves when
removing damaged or broken glass.
WARNING: Do not operate the
appliance with the glass panels
removed, cracked or broken.
Replacement of the glass panels
should be done by a licensed or
qualifi ed service person.
