FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS and warnings
printed in this manual and posted on the boiler.
INSPECT THE BOILER ANNUALLY. To keep your
boiler safe and efcient, have a service technician
follow the Service checklist near the end of this
manual.
IF YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED to install or service
boilers, do not install or service this one.
THE BOILER MAY LEAK WATER at the end of
its useful life. Be sure to protect walls, carpets,
and valuables from water that could leak from the
boiler.
PROTECT YOUR HOME IN FREEZING
WEATHER. A power outage, safety lockout, or
component failure will prevent your boiler from
lighting. In winter, your pipes may freeze and
cause extensive property damage. If you must
leave your home unattended for an extended time
when outdoor temperatures are below 32°F, rst
turn off your home’s main water supply and drain
the water from all pipes.
DO NOT BLOCK AIR FLOW into or around the
boiler. Insufcient air may cause the boiler to
produce carbon monoxide or start a re.
KEEP FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS AWAY from the
boiler, including paint, solvents, and gasoline.
The boiler may ignite the vapors from the liquids
causing explosion or re.
KEEP CHILDREN AND PETS away from hot
surfaces of the boiler, boiler piping, and vent pipe.
CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) is an odorless, deadly
gas that may be introduced into your home by
any malfunctioning fuel-burning product, including
your boiler. Consider installing CO alarms near
bedrooms in all levels of the building to warn you
and your family of potential CO exposure.
WARNINGS FOR THE HOMEOWNER
READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL before attempting
installation, start-up, or service. Improper
installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or
maintenance may cause serious property damage,
personal injury, or death.
DO NOT DISCONNECT PIPE FITTINGS on the
boiler or in the heating system without rst verifying
that the system is cool and free of pressure and
that your clothing will protect you from a release
of hot water or steam. Do not rely solely on the
boiler’s temperature and pressure gage when
making this judgment.
USE PROPER PERSONAL PROTECTION
EQUIPMENT when servicing or working near the
boiler. Materials of construction, ue products, and
fuel contain alumina, silica, heavy metals, carbon
monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and/or other toxic or
harmful substances that can are hazardous to
health and life and that are known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other
reproductive harm.
INSTALL ALL GUARDS, cover plates, and
enclosures before operating the boiler.
SIZE THE BOILER PROPERLY relative to the
heat load. A grossly oversized boiler will cycle
excessively and this will lead to premature failure
of the boiler and its components. Our warranty
does not apply to damage from excessive cycling.
ADHERE TO ALL LOCAL CODE
REQUIREMENTS. Contact your local code
inspector prior to installation. In the absence of
a local code, adhere to the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or CAN/CSA B149.1,
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
ALL WIRING must comply with the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 (in the USA) or the
Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 (in Canada)
and any local regulations.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLING
CONTRACTOR to see that all controls are correctly
installed and are operating properly when installation
is complete including verifying that the limit sensor
is fully installed.
Failure to properly install Limit Sensor may result in
property damage, personal injury or loss of life due to
elevated operating temperatures and/or pressures.
