could be hot. Do not touch piping or stack
surfaces during operation or immediately after
shutdown of the boiler.

after installation. If there is a smell of gas, shut
down the boiler and obtain immediate assistance
from trained service personnel and/or your local
fire department.

excess gas pressure. Make sure that gas inlet
pressure does not exceed 14 inches W.C.

safety shut off / control valves. Maintain all gas
train components in good condition. Do not alter
wiring connections. Annual inspection by factory-
trained personnel for proper set-up and operation
is recommended.
