Receiving And Unpacking - ENERGY KINETICS System 2000 Frontier Instructions Manual

8. ENERGY RECOVERY: The circulator and zone valve remain energized. The circulating water will remove the
energy from the converter, sending the heat to the last zone that called. The energy recovery stage continues until the
return temperature has dropped sufficiently or until maximum timing has been reached. The boiler is now sitting cold,
waiting for the next call for heat. Maximum timing for heat recovery stage is usually set at twenty minutes for space
heating zones and is fixed at five minutes for the Hot Water zone. (See Digital Manager Option Switch Settings).

RECEIVING and UNPACKING

Inspect shipment upon receipt for external damage. When unpacking and uncrating, inspect each item for internal
damage. Any damage found should immediately be reported to the freight carrier before installation. The receiver is
responsible for following the claims procedure of the freight carrier. The freight carrier is responsible for taking prompt
action on all claims. If freight cannot be inspected at the time of delivery, sign the bill of lading "Subject to Inspection"
and inspect the shipment as soon as possible after receipt. Replacements for parts damaged in shipment are available
upon receipt of a signed copy of a claim report (concealed damage claims should be filed immediately against the
freight carrier by the consignee).
After unpacking, check each item against the packing list. Inspect it thoroughly for loose parts, instruction sheets and
packing lists. Immediately report any missing items. It is wise to complete the installation before discarding packing
material. Store all parts where they will not be damaged or lost during installation.

Installations should utilize one of Energy Kinetics boiler stands to provide a solid, level, and smooth foundation for the
boiler. Place the unit as near to the chimney or vent as possible allowing clearance for front cleaning and service as
shown in Figure 1B. If not using an Energy Kinetics supplied stand, provide a solid, level, and smooth foundation with
clearance for door opening and service.
NOTICE: The stand must be level to allow for proper venting of air from the boiler. The Frontier is manufactured
with the BACK of the boiler higher than the front to assist in air removal.
