Owner warning –

NOTE: Retain this manual for future reference.

The information contained in this manual is intended for use by qualified professional installers, service technicians, or gas suppliers. Consult your local expert for proper installation or service procedures.

Consult and follow all local Building and IMPORTANT Fire Regulations and other Safety Codes

that apply to this installation. Consult your local gas utility company to authorize and inspect all gas and flue connections.

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

Factory warranty (shipped with unit) does not apply to units improperly installed or improperly operated.

Experience has shown that improper installation or system design, rather than faulty equipment, is the cause of most operating problems.

1.Excessive water hardness causing a lime/scale build-up in the copper tube is not the fault of the equipment and is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty (see Water Treatment and Water Chemistry).

2.Excessive pitting and erosion on the inside of the copper tube may be caused by too much water velocity through the tubes and is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty (see Boiler Flow Rates and Temperature Rise for flow requirements).

Your conventionally vented gas appliance must have a supply of fresh air circulating around it during burner operation for proper gas combustion and proper venting.

Should overheating occur or the gas supply WARNING fail 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.
