INSTALLATION &

OPERATINGMANUAL

WARNING

If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing

property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids or other combustible materials in

the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

If you smell gas:

Do not try to light any appliance.

Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.

Immediately call your gas supplier from a nearby phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department. Installation and service must

be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.

Water quality

Warning

Water quality has a significant impact on the lifetime and performance of a boiler's heat

exchanger.

Improperly prepared water in a heating circuit may cause damage to the heat exchanger

through fouling or corrosion. Repeated or uncontrolled water fills will increase the potential for

damage.

High levels of dissolved solids or minerals may precipitate out of the fluid onto the hottest part

of the heat exchanger, impairing heat transfer and resulting in overheating and premature

failure. The amount of solids that may form on the heat exchanger will depend on the degree of

hardness and the total water volume in the system. A high water volume system with a low

hardness count may cause as much damage as a system with less volume and higher

hardness, so it is recommended to treat water so as to remove all dissolved solids. Other water

chemistry allowable limits are as follows:

Acidity pH is to be between 6.6 and 8.5

Chloride is to be less than 125 mg/l

Iron is to be less than 0.3 mg/l

Cu less than 0.1 mg/l

Conductivity is to be less than 400μS/cm (at 77°F [25°C])

7 grains/ gal (120 ppm)

Important: Ensure that these limits are acceptable for the other water-side components in the

system.

Shipped with the boiler:

1 x Wall mounting bracket

1 x Condensate trap assembly

1 x 30 psig pressure relief valve

1 x Outdoor temperature sensor

2 x ¼" x 2 ½" Lag screws/w flat washers

1 x Propane fuel conversion kit

Safety information

Manual safety markings

Danger

Points out an immediate hazardous

situation that must be avoided to

prevent serious injury or death.

Warning

Points out a potential hazardous

situation that must be avoided to

prevent serious injury or death.

Caution

Points out a potential hazardous

situation that must be avoided to

prevent possible moderate injury

and/or property damage.

Note

Points out installation, maintenance and

operational notes to enhance efficiency,

longevity and proper operation of the

boiler.

Important safety instructions

Installation, start-up and servicing of IBC boilers must be performed by competent, qualified, licensed

and trained heating technicians.

Failure to read and comply with all instructions and applicable national and local codes may result in

hazardous conditions that could result in property damage and injury to occupants, and in extreme

cases to death. Keep instructions near the air handling appliance for future reference.

Danger

Should overheating occur or the gas supply fails to shut off, do not turn off or disconnect the

electrical supply to the pump. Instead shut off the gas supply at a location external to the

appliance.

Danger

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any

other appliance. If you smell gas vapors, do not try to operate any appliance - do not touch

any electrical switch or use any phone in the building. Immediately, call the gas supplier from

a phone located remotely. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions, or if the supplier is

unavailable, contact the fire department.

Warning

If the boiler is likely to be exposed to fluid temperatures below 34°F (1°C), use a method to

prevent freezing of condensate. Contact the factory for further information.

Warning

Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified

service technician to inspect the boiler and to replace any part of the control system and

any gas control that has been under water.

Warning

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property

damage, personal injury, or loss of life. Read and understand the entire manual before

attempting installation, start-up, operation, or service. Installation and service must be

performed only by an experienced, skilled installer or service agency.

Failure to follow all instructions in the proper order can cause personal injury or death.

Read all instructions, including all those contained in component manufacturers’ manuals

before installing, starting up, operating, maintaining, or servicing the appliance.

Warning

Disconnect power supply before any wiring/service is performed. Failure to do so could

result in damage to appliance and/or electric shock.

Caution

The boiler must be installed so that electrical components are not exposed to water during

operation.
