3. Screen Installation
After connecting the intake air and exhaust vent pipes, it is required to install the included screens into the exhaust vent and intake pipe
terminations to prevent damages to the unit due to blockages. See Figure 11 for installation detail.
Screens can freeze in areas with severe cold weather. In such areas it is recommended not to use screens.

the balance at 4 foot (1.22 m) intervals on the vent pipe. Appliance venting must be readily accessible for visual inspection for the rst three feet
