Neglected maintenance impacts the warranty;
regular cleaning and maintenance ensures clean,
environmentally friendly and efficient operation. We
recommend a maintenance contract with a qualified

combustion and ventilation air and no chemicals,
propane tanks, garbage, gasoline, combustible
materials, flammable vapors and liquids are stored
(not even temporarily) in the vicinity of the boiler.

• Service/inspection of the boiler and the system is
recommended once a year. Maintenance, service
