WARNING
!
This boiler must be installed by a qualified service technician.
Improper installation and/or operation can cause a potentially
hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in serious
injury or death, and will void the warranty.
The manufacturer cannot anticipate every circumstance that might
involve a potential hazard. Each installation has its own specialized
characteristics, requirements, and possible hazards. Therefore, all
possible incidents are not included in these warnings. Proper and
safe installation, operation, and service are the responsibility of the
qualified service technician.
Proper care of the boiler is the user's responsibility. Ensure the user
carefully reads and understands the User's Information Manual
before operating and maintaining the boiler.
Make sure the user knows the location of the gas shut-off valve
and how to operate it. Immediately close the gas shut-off valve if
the boiler is subjected to fire, overheating, flood, physical damage,
or any other damaging condition that might affect the operation of
the unit. Have the boiler checked by a qualified technician before
resuming operation.
Do not power up the unit unless the gas and water supply valves
are fully opened. Make sure the fresh air intake port and exhaust gas
port are open and functional.
No one but a qualified service technician should attempt to install,
service, or repair this boiler. There are no serviceable parts which can
be changed by the user / owner. User / Owner: Contact the original
qualified service technician if the boiler needs repair or maintenance.
If the original technician is unavailable, ask your gas supplier for a list
of qualified service providers.
Keep the area around the boiler clean and free of all materials that
can burn. DO NOT store or place gasoline, oils, spray paint, or other
flammable products near the boiler.
DO NOT use spray paint, hair spray, or any other flammable spray
near the boiler or near the exterior fresh air intake port. DO NOT
place any items in or around the exterior exhaust gas outlet port
and/or fresh air inlet port that could restrict or block the flow in or
out of the vent system.
DO NOT store or place newspapers, laundry, or other combustible
items near the boiler or the exterior exhaust gas outlet and/or fresh
air inlet port.
The owner should inspect the system monthly for damage, water
stains, signs of rust, corrosion, and exhaust vent and air intake
blockage. If inspection of the unit shows signs of damage, the
boiler should be shut off until the problem is repaired by a qualified
technician.
This boiler is certified for indoor installations only. The boiler consists
of gas ignition system components which must be protected
from water (dripping, spraying, etc.) during operation and service.
Carefully consider installation location and the placement of critical
components (circulators, condensate neutralizers, etc.) before
installing the boiler.
DO NOT allow children to operate this unit. DO NOT use this unit if
it does not appear to be operating correctly. A qualified technician
should service and inspect the boiler annually.
NOTICE
This boiler is equipped with a three prong plug. It should only be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three prong receptacle.
DO NOT remove the ground plug from the plug.
Any claims for damage or shortage in shipment must be filed
immediately against the transportation company by the consignee.
whl-648 Rev. 001 Rel. 003 Date 10.8.19
NOTICE
This boiler provides a overheat shutdown limit. In the event the
boiler water temperature exceeds the set point of the control
limit, the cutoff will trip and the boiler will shut down. Certain
local codes require additional temperature limits. In addition,
certain types of systems may operate at temperatures below the
minimum set point of the limit provided with the boiler. Contact
the manufacturer for additional overheat controls.
NOTE: When inquiring about service or troubleshooting, reference
the model and serial numbers from the boiler rating label.
WARNING
!
DO NOT USE THIS BOILER IF ANY PART HAS BEEN SUBMERGED
IN WATER. Immediately call a qualified service technician. The
boiler MUST BE replaced if it has been submerged. Attempting to
operate a boiler that has been submerged could create numerous
harmful conditions, such as a potential gas leakage causing a fire
and/or explosion, or the release of mold, bacteria, or other harmful
particulates into the air. Operating a previously submerged boiler
could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
NOTE: Boiler damage due to flood or submersion is considered an
Act of God, and IS NOT covered under product warranty.
NOTE: If the boiler is exposed to the following, do not operate.
Immediately call a qualified service technician.
1. Fire
2. Damage
3. Water
Failure to follow this information could result in property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.
DO NOT alter or modify the boiler or boiler controls. Altering
any Westinghouse boiler with parts not manufactured by
Westinghouse WILL INSTANTLY VOID the boiler warranty and
could result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
CAUTION
Do not use this boiler for anything other than its intended purpose
(as described in this manual). Doing so could result in property
damage and WILL VOID product warranty.
Due to the low water content of the boiler, improper sizing of the
boiler with regard to heating system load will result in excessive
cycling and accelerated component failure. Westinghouse
DOES NOT warrant failures caused by improperly sized boiler
applications. DO NOT oversize the boiler to the system. Modular
boiler installations greatly reduce the likelihood of boiler
oversizing.
B. Improper Combustion
WARNING
!
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilating air.
Adequate air is necessary for safe operation. Failure to keep the
exhaust vent and combustion air intake clear of ice, snow, or other
debris could result in property damage, serious personal injury,
or death.
C. Gas
Should overheating or gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual
gas control valve to the boiler.
