Boiler water

• DO NOT use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds in boiler system.

Water seal deterioration will occur, causing leakage between sections and damage

to heating system components. This can result in substantial property damage.

• DO NOT use “homemade cures” or “boiler patent medicines”. Serious damage

to boiler, personnel and/or property may result.

• Continualfreshmakeup water will reduce boiler life. Mineral buildup in

sections reduces heat transfer, overheats cast iron, and causes section failure.

Addition of oxygen and other gases can cause internal corrosion. Leaks in boiler

or piping must be repaired at once to prevent makeup water.

• Do not add cold water to hot boiler.Thermal shock can cause sections to

crack.

Boiler operation

• Do not block ﬂow of combustion or ventilation air to boiler. This boiler is

equipped with a control which will automatically shut down the boiler should

air or vent be blocked. If vent or air blockage is easily accessible and removable,

remove it. The boiler should attempt to restart within an hour. If blockage is

not obvious or cannot be removed, have the boiler and system checked by a

qualiﬁed service technician.

• Shouldoverheating occur or gas supply fail to shut off, do not turn off or

disconnect electrical supply to pump. Instead, shut off the gas supply at a

location external to the appliance.

• 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, which has been under water.

• Have the building monitored when it is vacant for an extended period. Safety

controls can shut down the boiler at any time. The loss of heat can result in

signiﬁcant damage due to freezing.

Service and maintenance

• To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply before performing

maintenance.

• Toavoidsevereburns,allow boiler to cool before performing maintenance.

• Youmustmaintain the boiler as outlined in the manual and have the boiler

started up and serviced at least annually by a qualiﬁed service technician

to ensure boiler/system reliability.

Tankless water heater (EG and EGH only)

If boiler is used to supply domestic hot water, limit

control should be set to supply adequate hot water.

Weil-McLain tankless heaters are rated at 200 °F boiler

water temperature. To get rated output, set low limit at

200 °F. Limit can be adjusted to meet system hot water

requirements. Differential can be set to 15 ° and adjusted

to control level. Lowering the differential will cause a

slight variation in water temperature but will decrease

burner on-off cycling. High limit should be set at least

20 ° above low limit.
