The
1.2 General Care
Your OmniTech will require very little
maintenance. However, as with any fine appliance
there are certain steps that should be taken to ensure
continuing optimum performance.
Keep the area around the OmniTech clean and
free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable liquids and vapors.
The OmniTech must be completely isolated and
protected from any source of corrosive chemical fumes
such as trichlorethylene, perchlorethylene, chlorine,
etc.
Keep grille openings on the boiler free for proper
ventilation of interior components.
Do not obstruct or block a free flow of air to the
boiler to ensure proper ventilation.
If desired, clean the jacket surfaces with a
damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use flammable
cleaning materials.
If sidewall vented, keep the vent terminal clear
of obstructions — do not pile snow against the vent
terminal. Clean the air filter(s) often, and then develop
an appropriate maintenance schedule.
1.3 Annual Inspection of Flue and Vents
Visually inspect the vent pipe and flue passages
once a year. Should any deterioration exist, have the
affected parts replaced by a qualified service person.

1.6 In the Event of a Power Failure
The OmniTech can not be operated during an
electrical power outage. If there is an extended power
outage with danger from freezing, then the OmniTech
(and all other water systems) should be drained
completely. When draining the boiler, turn off main
electrical disconnect switch. When placing back in
service, refer to start-up instructions in the Installation
and Operation Manual for filling and purging. Draining
and filling shall only be done by a qualified service
person.
1.7 Full Service Every Three (3) Years
In addition to the annual visual inspections, a
qualified service agency should conduct a detailed
inspection of all flue product carrying areas of the
boiler and its venting system.
WARNING
