This section must be brought to the attention of the owner by the installer so that the owner can make the necessary arrangements with a qualified service agency for the periodic care and maintenance of the boiler. The installer must inform the owner that the gas supplier can recommend a number of qualified service agencies. The installer must also inform the owner that the lack of proper care and maintenance of this boiler and any fuel burning equipment may result in a haz- ardous condition. Installer should discuss contents of the User’s Information Manual (Publication VHS-UIM) with the owner.

A trained and qualified service technician should perform the inspections listed in these instructions before each heating season and at regular intervals.
