To ensure a valid test, place ascrap piece of sheet metal (or other noncom-bustible material) between the spill tube andthe upper louver, this will prevent the naturalconvection of the unit from interfering with thetest. See diagram 1.The smoke should be drawn into the spill tube. Ifthe smoke is still not drawn into the spill tube, turnthe unit off and check for the cause of the lack ofdraft. If necessary, seek expert advice.For wind turbulent sites, a wind cap may remedythe problem.Note: The thermally activated safety switch willsense the change in temperature and shut downthe gas valve in the event of a severe downdraftor a blocked or disconnected vent. The switchacts as a safety shut-off to prevent a build-upof carbon monoxide. If the flue is blocked orhas no "draw", the switch will automaticallyshut off the supply of gas within 5 - 10 minutes.Tampering with the switch can result in carbonmonoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.If the heater turns off because of lack of draftduring the spillage test, check for the cause andif necessary, seek expert advice.The thermally actuated safety switch will auto-matically reset after it has cooled off. The switchwill continue to cycle until the draft problem iscorrected.
