D. Should a defect or malfunction result in a leakage of water
within the above-stated warranty periods due to defective material
or workmanship, malfunction or failure to comply with the above
warranty, with such defects or malfunctioning having been verified
by an authorized Westinghouse representative, Westinghouse will

provide a copy of the original sales receipt or the warranty card
registration, the warranty period for the heating appliance shall
then be deemed to have commenced thirty (30) days after the

OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITIES
To avoid the exclusion list in this warranty, the owner or installer

and kept in good operating condition.
3. Check condensate lines to confirm that all condensate drains
properly from the boiler.
4. Use the boiler in a closed system with a properly sized and
installed thermal expansion tank.
5. Make provisions so if the boiler or any component part thereto
should leak, the resulting flow of water will not cause damage to
the area in which it is installed.
6. Operate the boiler at water pressures not exceeding the working
pressure shown on the rating plate.
WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS
Westinghouse does not warrant:
1. All labor charges incurred by any person in connection with the

the boiler in accordance with applicable building codes/ordinances
or good plumbing and electrical trade practices.

sized expansion tank.
10. Failure or performance problems caused by improper sizing
of the boiler, piping, expansion device, gas supply line, venting
connection, combustion air openings, electric service voltage,
wiring, or fusing.
11. Any damage or failure resulting from improper water chemistry.
WATER CHEMISTRY REQUIREMENTS – Sodium less than
20mGL. Water pH between 6.0 and 8.0. Hardness less than 7
