Close the door on the paper in several different locations

and pull. It
is
normal to feel only a slight amount of fric-
'j
tion. The door gasket does not need to be "tight" in all

Inspect frequently and

clean when necessary. Fly ash will accumulate at all bends in the
i
exhaust system.
Note:
Large amounts of fly ash build-up will create a
lack of
combustion air. Removing the Tee cap on vertical installations

will allow an inspection of the ash build-up in the exhaust Tee and will
I
help you to decide how frequently more extensive cleaning must be
i
performed.
