Part 2 - Maintenance; Service Technician; Owner Maintenance - Westinghouse WBRC 199W Series User's Information Manual

Hydronic systems that use glycol as heat transfer fluid must be serviced periodically. Glycol can break down over time, become acidic,
and attack gaskets and seals in appliances. This can result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Each glycol manufacturer has different recommendations for testing and replacement. Do not test glycol quality yourself. Have your
qualified service technician check glycol quality during annual servicing. If you are unsure when your glycol was last tested, call a
qualified service technician to test and replace glycol, if necessary.
If the appliance is not to be used for an extended period of time during freezing conditions, consider shutting down the system and
draining it of water. Shut off the gas and cold water supply valves.
DO NOT attempt to disassemble this appliance. Doing so could result in improper appliance operation or premature appliance failure,
substantial property damage, and/or severe personal injury or death due to electric shock, fire, or explosion. If repairs are required,
contact a qualified service technician.
DO NOT touch the exhaust vent pipe. Doing so could result in substantial personal injury.
Be careful when opening a hot water faucet or draining
water from the appliance. Water temperature over 125
can instantly cause severe burns, or death, from scalds.
Children, disabled, and elderly are at the highest risk of
being scalded. See instruction manual before setting
temperature at appliance. Feel water before bathing or
showering!
