    (FIGURE 1-4) HOW TO REMOVE THE FRONT COVER WARNING The EVO is certified as an indoor appliance. Do not install the EVO outdoors or locate where it will be exposed to freezing temperatures. This includes all related piping and components. If the EVO is subjected to flood water or submersed in water, the EVO must be replaced.

    A. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION The electrical connection for the EVO is on the bottom of the unit. There is a 1/2” knockout location for an electrical connection for the heater’s incoming power connection. All electrical wiring must be performed by a qualified licensed electrician in accordance with National Electrical Code ANSI/NEPA to and/or the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 CSA C22.1, or to the applicable codes and standards.

    Note: For concrete construction or to meet certain fire codes, exhaust and inlet piping at the wall penetration to the EVO must be CPVC Schedule 40 or 80 or stainless. The balance from the penetrated wall to the outside may be PVC Schedule 40 or 80.
  • Page 16 VENTING Exhaust piping should be sloped back to the connection on the EVO, at least 1/4” per foot to remove additional condensate that forms within the pipe. The total combined length of pipe (intake piping plus exhaust piping added together) including elbow allowances intake and exhaust should not exceed the length shown in the vent table.

    8. MAINTENANCE A. MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES Once a year, a qualified service technician should perform maintenance on your EVO equipment to ensure that everything is operating safely and efficiently. The owner can make necessary arrangements with a qualified heating contractor for proper maintenance of the heater. The equipment installer must also inform the owner that the lack of proper care and maintenance of the heater may result in a hazardous condition.

    (try to avoid getting the back ceramic (target) wall of the unit wet). Flush the combustion chamber with fresh water. At this point, the EVO should be ready to power back up. Before powering up the EVO follow the steps below Re-install the burner assembly and rear target wall (ceramic insulation) Replace the (6) 6mm nuts to the burner plate.
  • Page 35: Evo Controls

    MAINTENANCE Turn the EVO back on** and monitor the condensate drain until flow has been established. Re-connect the condensate hose to the outside connection. **NOTE: when firing up the boiler for the first few times you may experience some fluttering of the gas burner that may result in a flame lockout.
