escape of dangerous flue gases which could cause dead-
ly asphyxiation.
WARNING
Chemical vapor corrosion of the flue and vent system

refrigerator and air conditioner refrigerants, swimming
pool chemicals, calcium and sodium chloride, waxes,
bleach and process chemicals are typical compounds
which are potentially corrosive.
