Boiler operation –
• Do not block flow of combustion or ventilation air to
the boiler. This boiler is equipped with a control which
will automatically shut down the boiler should air or
vent be blocked.
accessible and removable, remove it. The boiler should
attempt to restart. If blockage is not obvious or cannot
be removed, have the boiler and system checked by a
qualified service technician.
• Should overheating occur or gas supply fail to shut off,
do not turn off or disconnect electrical supply to the
circulator. Instead, shut off the gas supply at a location
external to the appliance.
• Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water.
The possible damage to a flooded appliance can be
extensive and present numerous safety hazards. Any
appliance that has been under water must be replaced.
• This product burns gas to produce heat. The appliance
must be properly installed, operated, and maintained to
avoid exposure to appreciable levels of carbon monoxide
and the installer is required to confirm that at least one
carbon monoxide alarm is installed in the living space
before the appliance is put into operation. It is important
for the carbon monoxide alarms to be installed,
maintained, and replaced following the alarm
manufacturer's instructions and applicable local codes.
Boiler water –
• Thoroughly flush the system (without boiler
connected) to remove sediment. The high-efficiency
heat exchanger can be damaged by build-up or
corrosion due to sediment.
• Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing
compounds in the boiler system. Gaskets and seals in
the system may be damaged.
substantial property damage.
• Do not use "homemade cures" or "boiler patent
medicines". Serious damage to the boiler, personnel,
and/or property may result.
• Continual fresh make-up water will reduce boiler life.
Mineral buildup in the heat exchanger reduces heat
transfer, overheats the stainless steel heat exchanger,
and causes failure. Addition of oxygen carried in by
makeup water can cause internal corrosion. Leaks in
boiler or piping must be repaired at once to prevent
makeup water.
Freeze protection fluids –
• NEVER use automotive antifreeze. Use only inhibited
propylene glycol solutions, which are specifically
formulated for hydronic systems. Ethylene glycol is
toxic and can attack gaskets and seals used in hydronic
systems.
