WARNING
WARNING
This appliance is certified as an indoor appliance. Do not install the appliance outdoors or locate where the appliance will be exposed to freezing temperatures or to temperatures that exceed 100°F.
Do not install the appliance where the relative humidity may exceed 93%. Do not install the appliance where condensation may form on the inside or outside of the appliance, or where condensation may fall onto the appliance.
Failure to install the appliance indoors could result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.
This appliance requires a special venting system. The vent connection to the appliance is made of CPVC. Field supplied vent fittings must be cemented to the CPVC fitting on the boiler. Use only the vent materials, primer, and cement specified in the manual to make the vent connections. Failure to follow this warning could result in fire, personal injury, or death.
2. Locate the appliance so that if water connections should |
leak, water damage will not occur. When such locations |
cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable |
drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the |
appliance. The pan must not restrict combustion air |
flow. Under no circumstances is the manufacturer to be |
held responsible for water damage in connection with |
this appliance, or any of its components. |
3. Check area around the boiler. Remove any combustible |
materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids. |
Failure to keep boiler area clear and free WARNING of combustible materials, gasoline, and
Closet and alcove installations
A closet is any room the boiler is installed in which the room volume is less than the room volume listed in the table below. An alcove is any room which meets the criteria for a closet, but it does not have a door.
Model | Room Volume | ||
(in cubic feet) | |||
|
| ||
55 | - 85 | 90 | |
110 | - 285 | 108 | |
399 | 178 |
Example: Room dimensions = 4 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 9 foot ceiling = 4 x 4 x 9 = 144 cubic feet. This would be considered a closet for the WHN399 model.
other flammable liquids and vapors can result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.
4. The Knight wall mount boiler must be installed so that gas control system components are protected from dripping or spraying water or rain during operation or service.
WARNING
For closet and alcove installations as shown in FIG.’s
5. If a new boiler will replace an existing boiler, check for and correct system problems, such as:
• System leaks causing oxygen corrosion or heat exchanger cracks from hard water deposits.
•
• Lack of freeze protection in boiler water causing system and boiler to freeze and leak.
Provide clearances:
