Ie Prepare boiler location — contamination
Air contamination
Please review the following information on potential combustion air contamination problems.
Refer to Table 2 for products and areas which may cause contaminated combustion air.
If the boiler is installed in any area likely to cause contamination, or if products which would contaminate the air cannot be removed, you must pipe combustion air to the boiler air intake. Contaminated combustion air will damage the boiler, resulting in possible severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage. Do not install GV boiler in a laundry room or pool facility, for example, without using ducted outside air. These areas will always contain contaminants.
