Temperature Modulated with Electronic Ignition Suitable for heating potable water and space heating
(Intended for variable flow applications)
Warning: If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire
or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or
death.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Installation and service must be performed by a trained and certified

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance
can cause injury or property damage. Refer to this manual. For assis-
tance or additional information consult a qualified installer, service
agency or the gas supplier.
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts this product must be installed
by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.
Upon completion of the installation, these instructions should be
handed to the user of the appliance for future reference.
What to do if you smell gas
• Turn off the gas shut-off valve. Open windows and doors.
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch, telephone, and do not use out-
lets.
• Extinguish all open flames. Do not smoke! Do not use lighters!
• Warn all occupants of the building. Do not ring doorbells!
• If you can hear gas leaking, leave the building immediately. Prevent
others from entering the building and notify the police and fire
