Periodically
Check area around the boiler.
Check and remove any blockage from the outdoor exhaust vent and intake pipe terminations. DO NOT perform this
maintenance if exhaust vent and intake pipe terminations are in difficult to reach locations.

Monthly
Check exhaust vent and intake piping.
Check exhaust vent and intake pipe bracing. Ensure bracing is undamaged and in good condition.
Check the pressure relief valve.
Check the condensate drain system.
If applicable, check the condensate neutralizer and ensure it is full of condensate neutralizing marble chips.
Every 6 Months
Check boiler piping and gas supply piping for corrosion or signs of potential leakage.
PART 3 – MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
The boiler must be inspected and serviced annually, preferably at the start of the heating season, by a qualified service technician. In
addition, the maintenance and care of the boiler as outlined in this manual must be performed by the user/owner to assure maximum
efficiency and reliability. Follow the maintenance procedures given throughout this manual. Failure to perform the service and
maintenance or follow the directions in this manual could damage the boiler or system components, resulting in substantial property
damage, severe personal injury, or death.
A. DAILY MAINTENANCE – TO BE PERFORMED BY OWNER
Check the Surrounding Area
To prevent the potential of substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death, eliminate all the materials listed in Table 1
from the area surrounding the boiler and the vicinity of the combustion air intake. If contaminates are found:
Remove products immediately from area.
If contaminates have been there for an extended period, call a qualified service technician to inspect the boiler for possible
damage from acid corrosion.
If products cannot be removed, immediately call a qualified service technician to re-pipe the combustion air intake piping away from the
contaminated areas.
Combustible/Flammable Materials
Do not store combustible materials, gasoline, or other flammable vapors or liquids near the boiler. If found, remove these materials
immediately.
Air Contaminates
If allowed to contaminate combustion air, products containing chlorine or fluorine will produce acidic condensate that will cause
significant damage to the boiler. Read the list of potential contaminates and areas likely to have these contaminates in Table 1. If any of
these contaminates are in the room where the boiler is located, or combustion air is taken from one of the areas listed, the
contaminates must be removed immediately or the intake pipe must be relocated to another area.
Ensure the Boiler Cabinet is Closed
Ensure the boiler cabinet is closed. Tighten the upper screw to secure it. The cabinet must be closed while the boiler is running.
Check the Power Source
Make sure the power cord is properly connected. The main power line is connected to the manual switch box inside the boiler.
