CHAPTER 3 - MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
3.1.
Owner Maintenance Procedures
WARNING
The INSTINCT must be inspected and ser-
viced annually, preferably at the start of the
heating season, by a qualified service tech-
nician. In addition, the owner maintenance
and care of the unit as outlined in Chapter
2 on page 3 and further explained in this
chapter should be performed to assure max-
imum safety, efficiency and reliability of the
unit. Failure to service and maintain the
INSTINCT and the system components can
result in equipment failure, resulting in sub-
stantial property damage, serious injury, or
death.
WARNING
In the case of In-direct vent installation the air
openings provided by the installer to supply
ventilation and combustion air are essential
for safe operation of the appliance. The user
must respect the importance of these air
openings and ensure that they are not partial-
ly or fully blocked under any condition. Fail-
ure to ensure free uncontaminated air flow
through the openings can result in substantial
property damage, serious injury, or death.
NOTICE
The following information provides detailed
instructions for completing the owner main-
tenance items outlined in the maintenance
schedule in Chapter 2 on page 3.

Daily Maintenance
3.2.1 Check Surrounding Area
WARNING
Eliminate all the materials listed in Chapter 1
on page 1 from the area surrounding the
unit and from the vicinity of the combustion
air inlet.
If contaminates are found:
•
Remove products immediately from the
area. If they have been there for an ex-
tended period, call a qualified service
technician to inspect the unit for possible
damage from corrosion.
•
If products cannot be removed, immedi-
ately call a qualified service technician
to re-pipe the combustion air inlet pip-
ing and locate the combustion air intake
away from the contaminated areas.
Failure to comply with these instructions can
result in substantial property damage, seri-
ous injury, or death
•
Verify that the area surrounding the INSTINCT is
free of combustible / flammable materials or flam-
mable vapors or liquids. Remove immediately if
found.
•
Verify that combustion air inlet area is free of any
contaminates.
Refer to the materials listed in
Chapter 1 on page 1 of this manual. If any of
these products are in the area from which the unit
takes its combustion air, they must be removed
immediately or the combustion air intake must be
relocated to another area.
WARNING
3.2.2 Check Ventilation Air Openings
Verify that all ventilation openings to the mechan-
ical room or building are open and unobstructed.
Check and verify that the vent termination
and the combustion air intake are free of de-
bris and obstructions. Remove any debris on
the air intake or flue exhaust openings. If re-
moving the debris does not allow the unit to
operate correctly, contact a qualified service
technician to inspect the unit and the vent /
combustion air system.
