CAUTION
Like all central heating appliances, this boiler is equipped with safety devices, which could cause it to shutdown, requiring service to restore normal operation. Where such a shutdown could result in damage from low temperatures (such as frozen pipes), do not leave the heating system unattended during cold weather unless alarms or other safeguards are in place to prevent damage.
A.General
1.This manual covers the proper care and use of the
Alpine™ (ALP) Condensing High Efficiency Gas
Fired Boiler
2.Instructions to safely light and shut down this boiler are shown on page 4, as well as on a label affixed to the boiler. Control locations shown in Figure 1.
3.The Alpine™ (ALP) boilers use an electronic means built into the ignition system to extinguish the burner in the event that flames exit the combustion chamber. If the boiler fails to fire, call a qualified heating service agency to diagnose and correct the problem.
4.Alpine™ (ALP) boilers – These boilers are equipped with a safety feature which will shut down the burner in the event that there is a blockage in the vent system. In the event that the boiler fails to function, and the boiler is vented through an outside wall accessible from the ground, inspect the vent terminal on the outside wall for a blockage such
as a bee’s nest or ice. If a blockage is found, the burner should ignite approximately 30 seconds after the blockage is removed. If no blockage is found, or if the terminal is inaccessible from the ground, the problem must be diagnosed and corrected by a qualified gas service technician.
