damage, serious injury or death.
Energy Saving Feature - This boiler is equipped with a feature that saves energy by
reducing the boiler water temperature as the heating load decreases. This feature is
equipped with an override which is provided primarily to permit the use of an external energy management
system that serves the same function. THIS OVERRIDE MUST NOT BE USED UNLESS AT LEAST ONE
OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS IS TRUE :
 An external energy management system is installed that reduces the boiler water temperature as the heating
load decreases.
 This boiler is not used for any space heating.
 This boiler is part of a modular or multiple boiler system having a total input of 300,000 BTU/hr or greater.
 This boiler is equipped with a tankless coil.
User Responsibilities
This boiler must be installed and serviced by a qualified installer or service technician. This boiler must be
serviced and inspected annually when operating in normal residential applications. Demanding applications or
extreme conditions (i.e. commercial) may require more frequent service and inspection. As the User/Owner of
this equipment, you are responsible for ensuring the maintenance is performed at the required intervals (see
Section 18 – Annual Maintenance and Inspection).
Failure to have the boiler properly serviced and inspected on a regular basis by a qualified
service technician may result in property damage, serious injury or death.
Failure to keep the Vent and Combustion Air-inlet clear of ice, snow, and other
debris may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.
Installer Responsibilities
A qualified installer is a licensed person who has appropriate training and a working knowledge of the applicable
codes, regulations, tools, equipment and methods necessary to install a boiler. The Installer assumes all
responsibility for a safe installation and that it meets the requirements of the boiler instruction manuals, as well
as National and local installation codes. It is also the installer's responsibility to inform the User/Owner of their
obligation with respect to the description under "User Responsibilities". Failure to follow this warning could
result in fire, serious injury, or death.
Failure to use the appropriate Natural to LP Conversion Kit and Orifice when operating
the Matrix with Propane will result in extremely dangerous burner operation leading to
property damage, serious injury or death. Refer to section titled ATTENTION:
