WARNINGS for the HOMEOWNER
FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS and warnings printed in this manual and posted on the boiler.
INSPECT THE BOILER ANNUALLY. To keep your boiler safe and efficient, 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, first 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. Insufficient air may cause the boiler to produce carbon monoxide or start a fire.
KEEP FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS AWAY from the boiler, including paint, solvents, and gasoline. The boiler may ignite the vapors from the liquids causing explosion or fire.
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
WARNINGS for the INSTALLER
READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL before attempting installation,
DO NOT DISCONNECT PIPE FITTINGS on the boiler or in the heating system without first 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, flue 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 design heat load or, if using domestic hot water priority, the peak hot water load, whichever
is larger. 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.
