H Carbon monoxide
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission strongly recommends the
installation of carbon monoxide
detectors in buildings in which
gas-burning equipment is installed.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless,
odorless gas, which may be produced
during incomplete combustion of fuel
and/or when the flame does not receive
an adequate supply of combustion air.
Carbon monoxide can cause severe
personal injury or loss of life.
Therefore, carbon monoxide detectors
that are in compliance with a nationally
recognized standard (e.g. ANSI/UL
2034-2002, CSA 6.19-01) should be
installed and maintained in buildings that
contain gas-burning equipment.
Note:
Viessmann does not test any detectors
and makes no representation regarding
any brand or type of detector.

H For safe operation
We recommend that you frequently:
- Check for debris which could obstruct
the flow of flue gases. The vent or
chimney must not be blocked. A
blocked or partially blocked vent or
chimney can cause flue gases to leak
into the structure. Flue gases leaking
into the house can cause injury or
death. Blocked or partially blocked
chimneys must have the blockage
removed by a qualified heating
contractor.
- Check pressure gage for correct
system (water) pressure. Check for
water on the floor from the discharge
pipe of the pressure relief valve or any
other pipe, pipe joint, valve or air
vent.
- Check for moisture, water, or
appearance of rust on the flue gas
pipes, their joints as well as vent
dampers, or side wall vent terminals
(if so equipped).
- Ensure that nothing is obstructing the
flow of combustion and ventilation air
and no chemicals, garbage, gasoline,
combustible materials, flammable
vapors and liquids are stored (not
even temporarily) in the vicinity of the
boiler.
- Do not allow unsupervised children
near the boiler.
Service/inspection of the boiler and the
system is recommended once a year.
Maintenance, service and cleaning are
specified in the Installation Instructions.
Before the heating season begins, it is
recommended that the boiler and burner
be serviced by a qualified heating
contractor. Service contracts may be
established through gas suppliers or
other licensed contractors in your area.
WARNING
As there are no user-serviceable parts
on the boiler, burner or control, the
end-user must not perform service
activities or adjustments of any kind on
system components. Failure to heed
this warning can cause property
damage, severe personal injury, or loss
of life.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment,
service, or maintenance can cause flue
products to flow into living space. Flue
products contain poisonous carbon
monoxide gas which can cause nausea
or asphyxiation resulting in severe
personal injury or loss of life.
CAUTION
Should overheating occur or the gas
supply fail to shut off, do not
disconnect the electrical supply to the
pump. Instead, shut off the gas supply
at a location external to the appliance.
WARNING
The operator/ultimate owner is required
to have the heating boiler, burners, and
controls checked, as a minimum once
per year, by the original installer or by a
competent heating contractor familiar
with the equipment. Defects must be
corrected immediately.
CAUTION
Do not use this boiler if any part has
been under water. Immediately call a
qualified heating contractor to inspect
the boiler and to replace any part of the
control system and any gas control
which has been under water.
